Jordyn and I had an amazing trip to Minnesota. Getting to spend the entire week together as a family was just what we needed. We went to a baseball game, hung out by the pool, went out for frozen yogurt and had a lot of group hugs. With our friends Eric and Eimy, we managed to hit up 4 notable Food Network spots. Yum! We also explored the Mall of America, went for walks and drank lots of Starbucks. Life is pretty good when we're all together.
It was pretty clear that Jordyn enjoyed herself to the fullest on our trip too. She got to hang out with "Auntie Eimy" and "Uncle Eric" who share her same love of Yo Gabba Gabba, dancing, strawberries and Cheeze Its. Jordyn got to meet Dora and Boots at the Mall of America and was pretty much loved on and spoiled the entire time we were there. But she deserved it.
Jordyn is a full on talking, dancing, singing and climbing toddler. She has so much personality packed into her adorable, little, pig tail wearing self. She was perfect on all 3 plane rides, and I mean PERFECT. What other parent can say that about their toddler? She took long naps both ways and then watched episodes of Sesame Street and Yo Gabba Gabba on the iPad with her headphones and ate Goldfish crackers. The only stressful part of the trip was her small "blowout" that she had while landing in Pheonix that almost caused me to be late for our second flight... But other than that it was a breeze.
Of course now we're back to reality. Back to being a mostly single mom, relying on coffee, friends and Skype to get me through the day. My attitude is much better though. Much more of an "I can do this" attitude. I'm strong, I love my family and I'm ready to power through and make the best of this time apart from my hubby.
