Florida Trip

So Alexis, Dean and I made a trip down to Naples this past weekend to see Nana and Papa and Uncle Todd. We had a great time; too quick of course. We went to the beach and went swimming in the pool. Alexis was getting very brave by the end of the weekend jumping in the water almost by herself. I really need to pay attention because I turn around and she's ready to go again. Swimmies have been working well for us thus far. I remember last year at this time. Alexis would wear the swimmies on her arms and her face would just fall forward in the water. I think she's starting to get this whole "swimming" thing. I've beem debating on whether or not to start swim lessons with her. If not this year, maybe next. The airplane trip wasn't "too" bad. On the way down, Alexis had her own seat which made traveling a little easier. I didn't realize how quickly you can go through 10 different new activities. Here I'm trying to be a good mom and entertain my daughter with new coloring books and stickers and all she wants to play with is the vomit bag. I really wanted to pull my hair out. It was nice to share the duties with Dean though because on the way back, Alexis and I had to share a seat in the middle in a row that doesn't recline because of an exit row. We were between two women that didn't seem too thrilled to be next to a child. Sometimes I wonder what these people expect you to do with a toddler in such a confined space. Anyway, we ended up making our way back to Cleveland and back to work today. We had a great time and look forward to visiting Nana and Papa again soon.
