Today is Saturday, but I'm writing about Friday. Sorry I'm late.
Today was one of those days. The kind of day where you think, what was I thinking.
As I mentioned before, on Friday we left to take our college students to a conference. Friday was pretty much dedicated to getting packed and out the door. Not such a bad start. Just look how relaxed Landry was.
Well, as any of you with children know, packing for a little one can be a little challenging because there are so many things you have to remember to pack. Forgetting one little thing could be disastrous. Forgetting one big think, say a pack-and-play, could even be more disastrous. Guess what I forgot. I'll tell you a little bit about our night a little later.
Our trip up to the conference went fine. We had our trusty DVD player and Baby Einstein DVDs to keep Landry content. And we stopped at an area to eat where the grown ups could have chicken and Landry could have a Happy Meal. I tore up half of Landry's hamburger into pieces for her and laid the other half on a napkin. Guess what she went for.
We finally arrived at the conference after receiving bad directions. I was supposed to get there early to take pictures, but that definitely didn't happen. That is when I start thinking, what was I thinking. Months ago, I agreed to be in charge of photography for this conference. At the time, I was not sure how everything was going to work out with Landry, but I am always of the attitude "it will be fine." Today I am of the attitude, "We'll not attempt this next time." Cory is doing an excellent job of taking care of Landry while I am trying to snap pictures, but I have a feeling this is stressing us both out a bit.
Last night, we did not leave the conference till 10:00. Cory and the students are staying at a church and Landry and I are staying at a hotel. But like I mentioned before, I forgot the pack-and-play and Landry thinks a big bed is just a trampoline. As Landry and I attempted to lay in the bed to settle in for the night, Landry started bouncing and clapping and singing and rolling, and kicking and poking my eyes, ears, and nose, and pretty much anything else she could possibly think of to keep herself awake. She finally gave in at 11:15. That is when I finally was able to take a shower and prepare for the next day. Now here is Landry in the bed of the hotel. If you can't tell, she is sprawled across the whole thing. I slept in the bed with her. I wonder why I didn't sleep very well.
