The "Finnster, et al."

Yesterday while at work I received a call from the daycare informing me that Will had a blowout and didn't have any clean clothes.  Instead of running home, I went across the street to the baby consignment shop and bought him a few things.  When I got back to the daycare I found my poor poopy baby wrapped in a pink blanket wearing a hat.  The hat was the only thing that I had in the diaper bag.  Further evidence of my superior mothering skills. Later that same evening I was shamed once again, this time by my elder children's behavior.  We all know that a child's language and behavior is directly related to parenting.  Great.  Allow me to set the scene.  Finn and Sam were taking a long bath in my bathroom.  I was in my adjoining bedroom feeding Will.  After Will was satisfied, I went back into the bathroom to check on the boys.  As I entered the bathroom, to my horror, I heard Sam politely ask the following: "Finn, split water ...

It is never easy to come home from a Disney trip, but this time it was a bit easier because I came to this face. We met Gigi at Busy Corner in Manchester for the exchange.  I was hoping that Will would be really excited to see me - but he wasn't.  In fact, when I went to pick him up he seemed to prefer to stay with Gigi.  I sat in the backseat with him all the way back to Gallatin.  He cried the whole way home. Suffice it say, my "welcome home mom" was not as I expected.  Matters got worse when Will didn't want to breastfeed the rest of the night.  One of my biggest fears about going to Disney was that Will would ween while I was gone.  Well, thankfully he didn't.  By the next morning it was back to business as usual.  Will is starting to show interest is sitting up. He is still terrible at it, but we are making progress.  As cantankerous as Will can be, he still has the best smile.  This is what he look...

Saturday was our last day in the park.  I felt a little sad on the way in. The sadness quickly dissipated when I realized how crowded it was.  I don't know if I have ever seen crowds like this.  Despite the crowds, we rode 11 rides.  I couldn't believe it.  Our "meeting" place.  This place has great bathrooms.  We always seemed to start and end our day at City Hall.  Our first stop was Mickey's PhilharMagic.  It is the best show! All the boys loved it. Then we went to use our Fast Passes at Pooh Bear.  Mom excels at "photo bombing."  Then we made our way over to the circus area to ride Dumbo.  Then it was off to lunch at "Be out Guest."  This restaurant is in the Beauty and the Beast section.  We made a quick stop at the Gaston statue.  The view from "Be our Guest" The entrance to the restaurant.
