Last weekend, we took Cameron on her first long car ride (more than 15 minutes in the car) to join my family in celebrating Tyler’s 6th birthday! I have to say, Tyler was a total sport about his bday. Not only was he perfectly fine with delaying the celebration for a whole week, he was totally excited to visit Cameron while we were still at Sutter on the day of his actual birthday!
In any event, she did splendidly on the ride over. Unlike Dylan (at her age), she seems just fine with the car. She fusses a little when we buckle her in but, providing she doesn’t have any gas or she isn’t working on a poop, once she’s settled in, she falls right asleep!
Once at the party, I went upstairs to nurse her (and kind of dozed in and out of consiousness) while Tom took Dylan downstairs to join in the festivities. Sadly, I missed most of the party — I could hear folks cheering Dylan on while he took a turn swatting at the pinata and I heard there was a treasure hunt, but I didn’t get a chance to see any of it!
Cameron got to meet Auntie Ieanna and her cousins Ajrien and Demarcus for the first time! Meanwhile, Dylan was busy running and playing with his cousins. It was yet another no-nap-nic day, but as is usually the case when we go to Cindy’s house, Dylan was as happy as a clam! We ended up leaving only around 9:30pm or 10pm…and Dylan didn’t even want to leave yet! Gratefully, both kids fell asleep in the car on the way home!! The silence was a joy….
Back Log: At Tyler’s 5th bday celebration, Dylan tried a slip ‘n’ slide for the very first time!
