...and it's nice to get home again, too.
So our drive home was a bit less eventful than our drive there. That's good to say. We still did hit two bad patches of traffic. The first woke Maddy up from her nap, but at least she did get a good hour in the car. The second wasn't that bad, but Maddy wound up being very wet, too because she leaked so we went to a local park to let her run around a bit and to change out her clothes and diaper.
She didn't enjoy TV that much this time around, which I guess is ok. But I would have loved it she had received more entertainment from it in the car, but... ah well! Once we got home, Maddy and I ran around and played while Matt unpacked the car and put away a lot of the stuff he unpacked from the car!
The visit itself went wonderfully. Maddy loved grandma and grandpa's house with lots of space to run around. They did a great job getting ready to have her there. She enjoyed playing with grandma and grandpa and being in the pool. She LOVED the pool. Now, this is a big, full size pool with a shallow end and a deep end with a diving board at the other end. Matt and I went in with her and she thoroughly enjoyed t. As a matter of fact, we were able to fit in three different swims. Maddy slept pretty well Friday night, just waking up once around 2. I only had to go in and rock her for just a bit, she didn't want milk. I laid her back down about 10 minutes later and she was out until 8. She took a FOUR HOUR NAP on Saturday afternoon. I finally woke her up when the rest of the family got here for dinner and I knew if she slept any longer she wouldn't want to sleep in the evening. She was shy with the family at first, but warmed up pretty well after a bit. She even ate a good dinner on Saturday! It was nice to see family and hang out with them Saturday night. Maddy woke up once on Saturday night as well, but quickly fell back asleep again.
Sunday though, we pack and ran about 12 because she was totally fussy and I knew the second we'd make it into the car she'd be ready to collapse into sleep. And yep, that's just how it happened.
She was fussy tonight, too. Nothing really made her that happy. I think she just continues to be tired from only her 1 hour nap today. Tomorrow AM we have playgroup and tomorrow afternoon I have a dentist appointment for cleaning. Thursday AM we have baby ballet and Thursday PM we have playgroup. So it proves to be a busy week!
Even though I was quite comfortable in Matt's parents house, I am looking forward to sleeping in my own bed tonight.
I've uploaded a ton of pictures and video, go take a peak!
Ok, off to repaint my fingers/toes since pool water creates havoc on them! Have a good one!
