Trip update

Dylan and Josie looking cute in their pajamas but undoubtedly plotting mayhem all the same

When I planned this trip, I did not factor in how hard the car travel would be on a 19-month-old. He is not the 7-month-old of last year who could be transported around like a chubby little accessory. Now he NEEDS to run around and play and is not enjoying traveling so much in the car. In the last week, we've zig-zagged all over the Carolinas, and it is taking its toll on the little man. For the most part, he's been doing great but you can see that he's getting very tired and irritable. Wednesday we head north to Ohio and will stay parked there for almost ten days, so that is probably a good thing.

He's been at his best when we've been with friends and around other kids. We just left "la Josie" in Charlotte who is seemingly mellow but bursting with personality all the same. Dylan enjoyed helping carry out Josie's strategies for manipulating the kitchen chairs around the living room and wedging large toys into unlikely places.

I've begun to post some trip pics on my Flickr here.
