Ah, vacation!

I am on my first vacation that doesn't involve major medical emergency in three years. It started off perfectly- with a ton of snow. Tacoma had a foot of snow by the time it was done and it was beautiful. Little Bug had so much fun playing in it. We did that at least twice everyday.

Our vacation continues by coming down to Grandma and Grandpa's house. Little Bug is so happy here- he didn't take as long to warm up to them this time and asks for them now. "Apa? Ama?", where the first things out of his mouth this morning.

We had family Christmas last night and Little Bug actually opened some presents. We only had to go on two walks to help him deal with the stress of all the people. We are really proud of him- he only had two minor meltdowns and he was able to tell us that he needed a break.

Being that today is Christmas, Nick and I are exhausted as we stayed up until midnight building the Thomas the Tank Engine shed and track set that Little Bug got for Christmas. Of course, Little Bug woke up at 5 and we had to restrain him until 630. When he finally came downstairs, he saw it and said, "Wow....."

We haven't talked to him since. We might talk to him soon, but for now, we are going to let the perservations and the good times roll. Wow indeed.
