About seven minutes before Jul left for her flight, Sumo threw up all over the bed. I didn&#8217;t have time to wash him before work, so he wandered around Google smelling like throw-up. When people would ask, I&#8217;d just tell them, &#8220;Jul is out of town,&#8221; and they would nod in an understanding way. I&#8217;m not sure how to feel about that.<\/p>\n<p>While Sumo and I were stinking up the office, Niko went to Google day care where he got to go on an afternoon buggy ride. He was in total melt down when I picked him up at the end of the day so maybe he isn&#8217;t into buggy rides. We stayed up way past his bedtime (because Mom isn&#8217;t here) watching bad TV. I taught him about the amazing world of infomercials and 80&#8217;s sitcoms. We also spent some time making fun of Fox News. I tried to teach him the irony of &#8220;fair and balanced&#8221; but given he doesn&#8217;t know what the actual words mean, I&#8217;m not sure I can expect him to appreciate irony yet.<\/p>\n<p>What is amazing to me is no matter how late I keep him up, he always wakes up at the same time in the morning (5:15). I think this kid has the &#8220;most likely to not need an alarm clock&#8221; category locked up for his high school yearbook.<\/p>\n<p>In honor of Mom being gone, Niko, Sumo, and I are wearing the same clothes Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Boys will be boys.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/happyinwater\/408741746\" class=\"tt-flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm1.static.flickr.com\/126\/408741746_5b86a2770b.jpg\" class=\"tt-flickr\" alt=\"Boots, made for walking\" height=\"466\" width=\"500\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/happyinwater\/408742123\" class=\"tt-flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm1.static.flickr.com\/181\/408742123_18e83de84f.jpg\" class=\"tt-flickr\" alt=\"Boots, made for walking\" height=\"500\" width=\"439\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/happyinwater\/408742325\" class=\"tt-flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm1.static.flickr.com\/161\/408742325_2dbcdc55c7.jpg\" class=\"tt-flickr\" alt=\"A boy and his dog\" height=\"329\" width=\"500\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jul headed out to Cape Cod on Friday morning for a weekend with her friends, so it is a all boys here in Mountain View.
