Matthew, he did EXCELLENT! Much to our surprise, he was on his best behavior. He had a great time on the plane, enjoyed being schluped all around Jacksonville and slept and ate very well.
He did throw us for a loop when he jumped from eating 4 ounces every 3 hours to all of a sudden eating 6 ounces every 2 hours! We were unprepared and went through 2 bottles on the plane. AND...much to our surprise he had a poopie every day!!!! A HUGE success for the tushie! AND...slept through the night!!!! It could of been the humming of the hotel sounds or the exhaustion of boredom as we drove through almost all of Jacksonville, but whatever it was it was GREAT! One morning we had to wake him up because Brad and I were hungry.
Sam...well he had a blast with his Mimi. They hit almost every McDonald's in a 25 mile radius, played at the park, baked cookies, ventured to our local marina to watch the birdies and hung out at home playing 'Doctor' 'Shopping' 'Tunnel' 'Dinosaurs' and 'Playdough' over and over and over and over again and also hung out with Great Grandma Trudy. We did get a report that Sam had a few breakdowns and wanted us, which was hard to hear, but it's good for him to miss us, something that a little distraction took care of the tears.
He is struggling a bit today because now his mommy and daddy are home and now it's back to our rules and routine and I believe he is ultimately bored with us. I said to Brad today that it almost feels like we just brought Matthew home from the hospital all over again. Sam acting 'strange' so we say and just not wanting anything to do with us, or Matthew. But, we know he loves us, but he loves his mimi more!
Thank you Mimi for staying with Sam. As you can see, he had a blast and woke up this morning and said, "where's Mimi?".
