David's House - July 18-19

David's House - July 18-19

As we are driving to David's house our vacation is officially over and we are headed back to the "real world". We went to the Maritime Aquarium today and had a blast! We left in the afternoon to start the 4 hour drive from Connecticut to David's House. We quickly hit traffic and weather making the drive even longer. Mr. Levi fell asleep during the imax movie and a few minutes in his stroller so wasn't having anything to do with a nap. He watched a movie, played with stickers, and colored in the car. It was a long drive!

We got to David's House around 8pm and got checked into the Dino room! :) Our most common room. This would be the first time that Levi was sleeping in a cot and not a pack and play. The plan was to pull the mattress off of the cot and put it on the floor for Levi to sleep on, but that plan was not to be, Levi did not want his bed moved. As soon as he saw his bed all set up he was jumping up and down. They had put Elmo sheets on the bed and a star comforter and he was ecstatic! He came running down the hall to tell me all about his "twinkle twinkle little star bed" and how it was all his!

I think they like him at David's House :) 

Levi wanted to go out and play and so Jay and Levi headed to the playground. I stayed in the room to answer a few important e-mails and take a few minute breather after driving over 5 hours. It wasn't long before I headed out to play too! There was another little boy on the playground that Levi played with some. :)

Before we knew it it was time for bed. We headed up the stairs for PJ's, brushing teeth, and climbing into bed. Levi wanted a drink so I headed downstairs to rinse his cup and get him some water (the only drink allowed in the bedrooms). Levi took a few minutes to go down, but not bad. He did ask daddy to "soft him" and then me to get daddy "Daddy needs to soft me!" which means he wants someone to sit beside him and rub his belly. It was very cute!! He fell asleep clutching his cup! With ALL his fella's looking on!

Jay and I did our normal sit in the hallway until he fell asleep. It didn't take too long, so that was nice. If you have ever wondered how incredibly exciting it is to sit in the hallway, here is what our view looks like:

Then we headed downstairs to relax for a few. I went up to bed around 10 and Jay came up around 11 or so.

Levi slept fairly well, but did fall out of bed once in the middle of the night. He cried a little, but I think it startled him more then hurt. He was back asleep in just a minute!

The next morning Levi was up bright and early! Our appointment was technically not until 9:30 (although they have no problem if we come over early). So I gave Levi paw patrol and laid back down for a few.

Watching Paw Patrol in bed.

Before long it was time for breakfast! I got dressed and Levi and I headed downstairs. It was quiet! Levi had some cereal and some fruit, but didn't eat great. I believe he is starting to put it together, that after we eat breakfast we go to the hospital. I don't like that, but I don't know what to say to him, it's the truth. He doesn't usually see it as a bad thing, just an unknown thing. He gets overly hyper and not listening. Pretty much just a cranky crazy little boy. I try to keep our routines all the same and keep things light and fun, but it gets stressful with him not listening and the fact that David's House doors don't lock from the inside so he can easily get out of the room while we are packing up.

We finally got all packed and headed for the car. We made the short drive to the hospital and got parked in the garage. We were getting out of the car when I realized that we didn't have Crayon. Levi had been lugging him as he wanted to bring him into the hospital. Crum! We must have left him at David's house. We decided not to mention it to Levi, but to get inside and checked in and then Jay would head right back over to get him.

Another successful David's House trip. We will be back in three weeks!
