We went to Myrtle Beach with our friends Ms. Kris and Crosby for a long weekend. We stayed right on the beach and swam in the ocean and the pool everyday. Zoe was all over Crosby, as usual, and this time at least , he didn't run away screaming:). (He just kind of made a grossed out face every time she went to hug him).
The kids did pretty good about playing near each other. Crosby was more toy/independent play oriented and Zoe was more interested in making friends with everyone who walked by her. She would go up to anyone under the age of 15 at the beach and try to hold their hand. You'd be surpised at the amount of children that are totally freaked out by that though (it got to the point of kind of pissing me off - I don't want those rude kids to dampen her spirit!)! The few that obliged her just totally made her day! She would beam from ear to ear and just be
so happy for the few moments she'd get to be close to them.
It definitely was a handful with the two kids and being pregnant. But it was a GREAT time! After the first day we got the kids on the same nap and bed scedule which made things a lot easier! After bedtime, the moms got to chit chat about Mom stuff before we passed out from exhaustion too. It was sooo nice! It really helps me to chat with other (sane) mothers and hear that my crazy Mommy thoughts are no more crazy than theirs! It also helps me loosen up a bit and get over some silly things as well!
This week I finally did something I had been worried about for a while now. I dunked Zoe under the water. And she was fine! I jumped her off of the edge of the pool a few times and she actaully asked for more! Yay! No tears and no screaming! Watch out swimming lessons - here we come!
THis really was a great and needed vacation! We were so lucky that Kris invited us to join her. I hope we can get together like this as often as possible because we always have a great time when we do. Here's to Summer Vacation!!!!
