Turns out my posts this weekend will be via iPhone. Please forgive any super lame autocorrects. It’s either this or go use the somewhat ok wifi in the hotel lobby, and that isn’t worth waking up Dekker.
We left Saskatoon a little later than expected. In the past couple of days, Dekker’s toes have been breaking they the feet of his sleeper. We figured it was important to move up a size and we had very few, so we hit Costco in out way out for sleepers. Four sleepers and a hotdog later, we were on the road.
Dekker wailed for about twenty minutes. He is usually awesome in the car! We had some music going, so we turned it down, up, and off. No results. We gave him snacks, water, toys, to no avail. I took his bunnyhug off and then his shoes. Nothing. Then his blanket, to see if he just needed a little help falling asleep. BIG crocodile tears. I was about ready to tear my hair out but remembered what worked when he was much newer. I changed the music to Marianas Trench. Would you believe that it worked?! Not a peep for the rest of the trip!
We stopped in PA to feed Dekker and ourselves, and to pick up a few things we were short on at home. Cheese and fruit, and milk in small containers to fit in the mini fridge.
Basically, the drive turned out to be a success. Dekker is down for the night now and our jacuzzi tub is filling. Poor Dekker isn’t used to this room and cried before he fell asleep. I don’t want the neighbours to hate us, but at least it’s not late. 9:30 seem reasonable to hear a kid cry for a few minutes right?
The main curse of the phone post is that I’m not totally sure if or how I can add pictures so photo posts will have to be when we get back. Until then, sleep tight. AND watch the hilarious video of Dekker I put up on Facebook. It was from our trip today 🙂 Hes basically hilarious and amazing.
Sleep tight!
