This week was made easier by an earlier post, when we made a game plan for travel. I simply needed to execute the plan. We went to my in laws for Thanksgiving, and unfortunately what a two month old needs vs a toddler are two very different things. Part of the plan was to be ready for the plan to change.
Brock slept for most of the drive, we stopped twice to feed him, though one stop could have waited until we reached his grandparent's house. Brock is more how much we actually needed to pack. I also set up the third row of our van as a nursing station.
Meanwhile Jake wouldn't sleep, he almost did, but we had to stop to feed his brother. To be fair the last feed only happened because Jake needed to stop. With Jake we required more stops to change up the entertainment. At one point he was happy snacking on the frootloop necklace we made. Another his toys were enough. Then he had a sandwich on his tray, and colored (only one marker fatality).
The drive was honestly pretty painless.
We had dinner Last night, provided by my mother inlaw. There was a little baby juggling because someone wasn't going to sleep through the meal, but it was a really nice Thanksgiving.
Now this is an old picture of it, but a tradition we have had since the year before Jake was born was the white pumpkin. Anyone we share Thanksgiving with, is asked to write something they're thankful for. We forgot it last year, but this year we filled it. So now it will be a decoration for years to come...and we need a new one.
Hope your Thanksgiving has been a good one!
K, Luv Ya, Bye
Nancy, Cale, Jake, Brock and Alice
