We are in Orlando. I just checked in on my boys and am sitting here in the dark wondering what i should write about this journey to date. I am feeling thankful....pensive...a little hungry...a little tired....and a little nervous.
Thankful because those boys are so beautiful..this trip has been such a growing experience for both of them and their relationship with eachother and with us. They have been learning and getting much better at negotiating with eachother enstead of coming to us for every little disagreement (which i love!), chris and i have never heard elliot laugh as hard as he did in the bath this evening..isaac was cracking some kind of joke, but had his little bro cackling like i had never heard!
Pensive because something little and icky ran across my face as i was trying to sleep an hour ago and i am still wigged out on what it was. Its a clean place, but we still saw a huge cockroach on the sidewalk as we ate at bubba gumps last week....meaning, there are bugs from a hot climate around and i am not used to that....don't get me wrong, it didn't stop me from eating and enjoying my shrimp...but ya...ugh.
Hungry because we ate at 4:30...it was a travel day, so we did brunch at 11 in Daytona beach at the Starlight Diner (we loved that place), we drove, checked in, unpacked and headed out for dinner...we had the seafood feast at red lobster...i have never seen isaac eat so fast and so much...try to give that kid regular food and he is like meh...but he is a beast in front of a plate of crab, shrimp and lobster....we were scared for our neighbors watching isaac up on his knees violently trying to rip apart those crab legs.....stuff was flying....
Tired because - well, refer to bug paragraph.....
And a little nervous because i didn't sanitize elliots hands that much this evening and we went to this really busy mall where he touches everything!! Godiva chocolates gave each boy a little chocolate and i saw elliot licking his hands when he was finished....i am up now initially because elliot was crying out in his sleep...and i am thinking about sickness. The 'what if's'....and we have been so fortunate up to this point...can it last?? I am kicking myself for not being more diligent as i usually am with the sanitizer, especially in hot, crowded places like a mall. I guess we will see in the morning.....
If everyone is well in the morning.....Gatorland maybe?
