We just got back from our family vacation for the summer. The Griswald family vacation was fun, but not quite like the T.V. Lexi was a trooper. The airplane ride was pretty uneventful. California was hot 105 or so.....Sequoia National Park was beautiful. We made it to Kings Canyon and did a Cave tour. Lexi slept in the bjorn the whole time. We did a few hikes, one morning Lexi blew out of her diaper at the first stop, peed while I was changing her in the car, then blew out of her diaper at the second stop. It was a messy morning. We even saw a bear cub, thankfully while in our car. On the way back to L.A. we went through wine country and had some great wine...even joined a wine club. Then we stopped and had dinner at a friends house in Pasedena. It was a great first trip as a family...but I did become that person that didn't wander more than a few miles from the road in a National park.....
The night we got back after a major crying burst, we gave Lexi a bath and she just giggled and giggled and giggled and broke us all up laughing.
Thursday Lexi went to her first day of day care. We got there and she was all eyes and smiles at the kids. It wasn't so hard leaving her once I saw how well behaved the other kids were. She is the only infant. She is going to an inhome daycare with a friend of mine from our tri club. Very nice family, her husband is a teacher in Mequon and bball coach that I have coached against. When I picked her up I walked in and she was sitting in the swing...facing the wall...WHAT?!? Nikki was quick to walk out and say she was getting a little fussy and had kept looking at the calendar, so she turned her to face it. (All the other kids were taking a nap). I went around and her eyes were as big as can be looking at the calendar, she didn't even realize mom was there! Finally after realizing I was there, she turned and gave me a big smile...AHHH!! She has not stopped talking since her day at daycare, she loved it soo much. She won't even take her naps because she just wants to talk.
We are heading to the 'sau this weekend for the Speci-al Olympics......we'll fill you in.
