Dylan accompanied me to yet another doc appointment last Wednesday morning (the second of my now-weekly OB appointments). I was told that I was nearly 2cm dilated and 60% effaced and, heck, we may not even make it to Saturday (for Thomas the Train), but I’d promised Dylan I’d take him to the Boardwalk to watch the free circus show and we had also arranged to meet Heather and the girls there shortly after the show ended. Tom was shocked I was at the Boardwalk, but all was just fine!
Dylan and I packed snacks and ate them on the beach during the show. Afterwards, he went potty(!) and we went looking for Heather so the kids could ride some rides together. Dylan loved riding with Taliana — they took turns picking which attraction they’d do next — he even braved the Cave Train, the Dragon ride, and the noisy car ride, all in the interest (I think!) of being social (these were all rides he’d previously wanted to avoid because they were too loud!)!
It was a bit tough walking around so much, but overall, I’m glad we were able to go see the show and to have some Boardwalk time! It won’t be long before these little trips with Dylan will be a little more difficult!
