Spring Break ‘09
Right after Dean’s 4 month appointment we headed to home to Humble for the week. Matt and I were looking forward to a nice break while the grandparents played with Dean. The week was just what we asked for. We were able to visit with family and friends, have a date, I shopped with my mom while Dean played with his Honey, and we rested while the grandmas took night time baby duty! The week was just what we needed.
Matt and I also learned an important lesson about naps on the day we travel to or from Houston. Don’t do it! Dean took a GREAT nap on Sunday afternoon before we headed back to Ft. Worth. We thought it was great that he slept so well. We learned on the way home that we should have kept him up all afternoon. Dean was tired of his car seat half way through our trip home and his cries told us all about it. We ended up taking an extended rest stop break (over an hour) so Dean could play, stretch, and eat. We will now be traveling late at night or early in the morning. Lesson learned!
