Went to my Great Aunt Wilma's 80th birthday party over the weekend. It was in Vacaville, about a 4 hour drive for us.
The party was at noon on Sat. So needless to say Logan did not get a nap on Sat. He did REALLY great though. No tantrums, no meltdowns except of course when he was assaulted by a stranger! A lady tried to get him to be in a picture and boy oh boy he was having NONE OF THAT! Then to make matters worse he couldn't see us as he had worked his way up to the birthday cake table and when he tried to get away from the lady all he could see was a whole bunch of other strangers! ACK. Luckily my Aunt Rose was there to rescue him and bring him back to our table. All was forgotten about 3 minutes later when the people sat back down and cake was being handed out. Nothing like a little chocolate cake to make the world a better place.
Logan did start to lose it a little bit when we got back to the hotel and he realized we were serious about going to bed (it was going on 9pm) He was yelling "but I'm not tired" so I convinced/browbeat him into laying down with his eyes closed and sure enough not more than 3 minutes after that he was sawing logs.
The funniest thing about the weekend was watching Ronan eat. Now they always say a baby's stomach isn't any bigger than its fist. Well I'm telling you thats a bunch of hooey! For breakfast Ronan ate: 3 pancakes (approx 4" across size) a whole scrambled egg and half a piece of bacon as well as 1/2 a glass of milk. For lunch at the party he ate: about a cup of mixed fruit, a dinner roll, 1 /2 slice of cheddar cheese, a couple bites of turkey and a couple of macaroni salad. For dinner he ate a 3 piece chicken nugget meal (with french fries) AND when we got back to the motel he ate the rest of Logan's chicken nuggets! He is an eating machine.
yum yum yum yum

wouldn't it be nice to have that kind of metabolism all of our lives???
WOW Ronan! Gotta love these boys' appetites, huh? lol Glad the party was nice and you had a good time!
WTG Ronan! Sounds like he has a healthy appetite..and like he is going through a growth spurt!
It sounds like a great trip Jeanna..sorry about the stranger scaring Logan. I am glad all was well once he had some goodies though. And he cracks me up reading about him not being tired. Matthew does the same thing..yells that he isn't tired and as soon as his head hits the pillow, he is gone! LOL!
