Our summer vacation trip is almost here, we leave Saturday afternoon! Really looking forward to a relaxing week by the lake… it’s definitely our happy place. It’s been over a year since I was on the water, so I’m really anxious to do some fishing. I’m also excited to see how much fun Cal has playing in the sand, going for rides on the boat etc.
We’re staying in a different cabin this year and everyone will have their own room, so Cal will be sleeping in a full-size bed instead of the pack-n-play. So bedsides having to bring a bedrail, we don’t need to pack quite as many things this time around. We do most of the grocery shopping up there since it’s easier (and actually kind of fun). It also gives us the chance to pick up the special treats like root beer floats and s’mores.
Looking at the calendar, we have a week vacation trip, followed by a regular week of work, then the Labor Day weekend, then it’s pretty much baby time! In case you forgot, Angie’s due date is September 17th. Angie has a feeling it’s another boy (but since she thought the first one was a girl, I think it’s going to be a girl). We don’t really have a long list of names picked out at this point, in case you’re wondering.
In the meantime, Cal is still doing great in his twin bed in the new room downstairs. He usually goes (in) to bed at 7pm and gets up around 6am. He usually sings, makes siren noises and talks to himself etc. between 7-8pm, so he’s not actually asleep right at 7pm. He has slept through everything including fireworks, dogs barking and even the alarm going off, so he should be fine sleeping through the new baby crying upstairs.
He’s favorite playtime activities are driving and loading his dump trucks, tools, building with blocks and matchbox cars. We actually bought him a 5-pack of matchbox cars the other day but we’re saving them until the baby arrives, that way we can gift them to him from the baby.
