I have travelled quite a lot this month, Toronto to Edmonton, Edmonton to Calgary & back, then home to Toronto from Edmonton. Slept in my own bed for 4 nights, then drove to Pennsylvania stayed for 4 nights with friends & now I am home sweet home.
I was away from my wee man for the 2 weeks I was out west, but I had him all to myself on our little trip to PA!
I wasn't sure if I was crazy attempting a nine hour road trip with a three year old all on my own, but it all went very well! I was amazed with how much he had changed in 2 weeks; he was a chatting machine on our long car ride. It's so strange & wonderful to have full conversations with him. It's great to hear him laugh at his own silly little jokes.
He has own ideas on things now which is very entertaining & at times challenging. We were in a store and he saw a display of balls, giant Disney balls to be exact. He picked out a Toy Story ball & then attempted to pick out a pink princess ball for me. He said "Mommy you need a ball too". They were kind of expensive and really in this house the last thing we needed was another ball. Well, he had a mini meltdown in the store because I told him we only needed to buy the one ball; with tears streaming down his face he expressed how sure he was I needed my own ball. It was very sweet & truth be told a little embarrassing, meltdowns in public are generally not fun experiences for a parent. I did appreciate his giving little heart though.
I'm thankful for my time away with my wee man. I enjoyed just being with him, just the two of us. I'm thankful for his sweet little spirit, he has a kind heart for a 3 year old & I hope he will carry that with him throughout his life.
He wanted to take the Chick-Fil-A cow home with us, he thought it was so funny.
