Today is kind of a sad day here. This week, the Cutlet started going to preschool five days a week. Besides the higher expense – of course worth it because he is our son for goodness sake – that means he and I no longer have our regular Thursdays together. I figured I'd lose my Cutlet Day if the office made me start working Thursdays, or when I find a new job that doesn't embrace the whole four-days-a-week schedule.
He could have stayed home today, but he loves school. Plus, it's my day to get stuff done around the house. Stuff that hasn't gotten done because of the time crunch that is our life right now. Can't imagine how fleeting time will be when he's involved in more activities. My list of things to do is trivial and a lot less important than spending a whole day just me and my son. Good thing that next week this time we'll be in San Antonio while the Petite Filet is in a daylong seminar; Thursday will be our day again. I miss him already.
How special for you to spend this time each week with your little one! Not all dads realize how positive that can be.

I think it's really sweet that he loves school! I too was one of those strange kids who professed love for school.
I don't like work much, but school was always a blast!
It's not a sad day...he likes school!!! A feeling that won't last long so you might as well enjoy it. :)
awww...keep Thursdays special!! It is sad when they enjoy being away from you. I get home from work and my son runs out the door to go play. I only get to see him because God forces the sun to go down, and he comes home all sad because he has to come in.
Enjoy your time together!!
I understand your lonliness - at least a bit. They do grow up fast.
