Well, we went to Montana to visit Uncle Brian and Aunt Terra. We also went to the Wolf & Grizzly Bear exhibit. Lo LOVED the wolves! D was not too impressed with anything. We were so close to Old Faithful-so we made the trip to see it. It was butt cold-Lo reminded us of it by screaming the whole entire time we were waiting. But we were there and who knows when we will be back? I was NOT taking him back to the car (where he would have whined anyway!).
We drove back to Brian & Terra’s house in the dark-through Yellowstone. And I don’t actually mean “dark” I mean PITCH BLACK like the inside of a bear’s tummy. The boy’s had to potty. Which is not a problem for Lo who still has his socks & shoes on-we just threw a coat on him and got out with him. But D…he was another story. No sock & shoes for him. And he was in a short sleeved T-shirt. So, me being the Greatest mother of the year I grabbed D, took his pants off and out into the 9 degree blackness we went. Yup. I took my not quite 3 year old into pitch blackness in only his t-shirt. I held him sideways and I directed his business. As soon as he was done I threw him back into the car. No harm done. I hope.
We just had D’s 3rd birthday party today…a little late, but we did take him to Chuck E Cheese on his birthday so all is not bad. I will update with both & add some pictures :)
