No Daddy Days

M and I call the weekends "Daddy Days." We obviously love daddy days, but this weekend we did not have any.

Our long week without Daddy started Saturday. Davis' first trip back to the US for work. I have to say I have been dreading this week for a while. I'm pretty fond of having the guy around.

We have a not so busy week ahead as everyone we've met has begun their holiday trips and most of our classes have ended. Next year, we will be taking our holiday a bit earlier in July as we have 2 more weeks until we head to NY.

That being said, we had a pretty splendid weekend. Just the two of us.

With the sun shining on Saturday, we headed to Hyde Park. I had to see the playground Davis and M found on one of their recent daddy/daughter mornings. It can be found just East of the Edinburgh gate and south of The Serpentine. The playground recently re-opened and is all redone, pretty and another amazing play space in this city.

The weather and scenery were beautiful and M tried all that the playground had to offer. 

I would imagine this rope walk was not intended for a 2 year old to do all by herself but M was determined. She did it at least 5 times and at the end of each slide she hopped around saying, "Again!" I felt super proud of her little self wanting to take on this big challenge and do it oh so successfully.

After playing, we headed to The Serpentine for a little bird watching and a picnic. We heard Neil Young and Crazy Horse rehearsing for their concert that night. There is a venue in Hyde Park for concerts during the summer. Next year when we are more established with a babysitter, I will be at one of those concerts!

Our Sunday weather started out with rain so I took that as the opportunity for M's first official movie viewing. I had intended on having her watch Frozen for some time now, but it just hasn't happened. She has a few Frozen books and knows some of the songs so we had a great time watching it together. I've always loved myself a Disney movie!

Our lazy day continued with a little FaceTime with Daddy, Obie and Hyde. M got pretty sad as she really misses Daddy. Recently she's becoming more of a daddy's girl. It's pretty cute to see.

Our afternoon continued with some errands, hands in pockets, wind through the hair and some cleaning. 

I'm super excited that she likes using the Dyson since a clean house is one of my favorite things! 

Sending our love from London- have a great week! 

Cheers!
