The 8 hour ride down was awesome. I was super nervous about the whole pee thing with him, but he did really good. We only stopped three times, which was way less than I aniticpated. The ride back was a-whole-nother story. It took us almost 10 hours to get back due to traffic and Christopher has learned that if he says he has to go potty- everyone jumps to get him to the potty. We had a little boy crying wolf. :) Needless to say, we will be reading that fable soon.
I love this Fall Break thing! When we got back last night we decorated for Fall. Christopher was loving seeing his Halloween toys and dancing stuffed animals. This morning he is busy playing with the turkey that sings "Turkey in the Straw" and pretending the empty Fall boxes are presents.
Enjoy the pictures!
Our first night! We read our "Let's Go Yankees" book to get ready for the game the next night! We took all of our baseball books for this trip, including his new Yankees ABC board book.
Dinner at Crabby Bill's when we first got there. You try keeping a 2 year old in the seat to eat dinner after making him sit in a car seat for 8 hours. Oh my heavens.
Me: Christopher- let me take your picture for Daddy.
Christopher: You NOT take my picture for Daddy. I play.
Chillaxing with a Pri-Sun and Goldfish. This was after our LOOOONNNNGGG walk. Even though we didn't get very far, it certainly took a long time. Christopher stopped to pick up almost every shell- not the big ones either... all the little itty bitty ones.
Looking at the iguanas! They had a huge cage that had 8 iguanas in there. Christopher looked at them multiple times a day.
Trying to get Bella to get in the cage at Aunt Nancy's.
I guess if the dog won't get in... then you just get in!
Wednesday it rained most of the day so what do you do when it rains... play pool...
and put your bathing suit on and run in the rain!
Sleepy boy at the Yankees game! He slept until we got down to our seats and when he woke up he was so surprised!
So excited to go to the ballgame. Since Christopher has learned to say that he wants to go to a ballgame, we have taken him to 3- Braves, Rome Braves and now the Yankees. On the way home we told him baseball was almost over and he was going to have to start watching hockey and football... Granddady- you take me to a football game?
Heading out!
Dad and I went to a game the next night without Christopher! It was the tribute to Derek Jeter night. So thankful that I got to go to one with my dad!
Playing in the water with Nana.
Enter Sandman. (only a few will get it... but it's only appropriate)
Back to the ballgame! (Sorry for the out of order pics. I am trying to write this, make dip for Matt and entertain Christopher!) This was after Christopher spent the first 2 innings running around the stadium. He was ready to watch the game!
Watching the game. He thought he was going to catch a foul ball so he sat with his hands up quite a bit.
Saying bye to Pap! Christopher was so excited to see him. When I got him out of the car he said,
I like Pap.
I hope everyone enjoyed their Fall Break!
Back to work on Monday.
Be kind.
