Traveling Man

So last weekend we went to LA for an overnight trip! We were visiting my parents' good friends Linda and Steve, who live in the northern side of LA. We left only an hour late, but of course we took the wrong road up there and got stuck in traffic for quite a while, so it was a three hour drive. Victor slept the whole time. Once we finally got there, we had a great time! Victor was the star of the show, of course, but everyone had lots of food and lots of fun. We all stayed at their house, and Damian and Victor and I shared the rec room. Victor had his pack 'n play there and for the most part slept pretty well--only a little bit of crying! We were glad to get back home on Sunday, though, because we were starting to run out of diaper supplies! The LA natives told us the better way to drive through town, so the trip went much faster and much more pleasantly. We didn't have long to rest, though, because some of my dad's clients wanted to meet us, too, and they live down in La Jolla. My parents left early to go see them while I had to tutor for an hour, then Damian and Victor and I met them all in Old Town San Diego for dinner. So basically, we were driving all day! Victor handled it like a champ, but we were all tired by the end of the day!

There have been a couple of other notables this week. I had to give Victor's fingernails a trim! I've been avoiding it, but when Victor woke up with a big scratch on his cute little nose I couldn't put it off any more. I decided to use cuticle scissors because they offer a large amount of control for cutting tiny delicate little nails. It went pretty well, as long as I remember to not point the scissors at his face!

Another happy one for me--guess who slept from midnight to 7 a.m. last night--me! and Damian! and Victor!! Victor slept like the dead until about 7, when I practically started poking him to wake him up (I'm nursing, so my girls were all like "WTF oww!"). He slept longer than I did! And then he went back to sleep a little after 8! So I may take a nap, too, after I make some phone calls. Meanwhile, my parents are sleeping in until 10 every day. Oh how the worm turns!
