We had our first wedding to attend with our kids. Well, actually we didn’t attend the wedding, the kids were napping, so we dropped off grandma Karen and went straight to the hotel so the kids could rest up for the reception. Jase and Gabriella were amazed by the hotel, they have never stayed in one (Jase stayed in a condo last year). The kept looking up at how high the ceiling was, I think it was 9 floors, the sides of the hotel were mostly glass and we could see the airplanes really closely since the airport was nearby. The elevators were also glass so we could look down on the pool, restaurants, and lobby.
We stayed on the 8th floor, and as soon as we got off the elevator I read the sign that said “welcome to the quiet zone” “no children, marching bands, or circus animals on this floor” etc etc etc . EEK! They knew we had kids (babies, really) on this floor, so I was a little nervous, and hoping the other guests wouldn’t mind. Luckily we were at the end of the hall, but that just made it super fun for Jase to run down the entire hallway screaming! Oh well, no complaints were made on us! The kids slept well, Jase woke up once at 4 am and didn’t really know where he was, so it took a little bit to get him back to bed.
The reception was a blast for the kids. Once we got past the speeches where the kids had to “behave and be quiet”, Jase was the life of the party. He got out on the dance floor and shook his booty! He had so much fun, everyone was watching him dance and run around. However, when they played the first slow dance, he wasn’t quite sure what to do. There were a lot of couples out dancing on the dance floor, he spotted out one particular old couple dancing. The woman was wearing a long skirt with a big slit up the back, well, the only thing I can think of is that Jase thought it was a tent and decided to go right in! Rob, Gabby, my mom and myself were all watching as this happened and had no clue what to do! In the few seconds that we could all plainly see what he was about to do, we couldn’t get the words out, we were either laughing so hard or had our chins on the floor, mouths gaping open. We finally got ourselves together and yelled “JASE!” “NO!” as he was already halfway in. I don’t think the older couple noticed too much, or maybe they did, we ran off to tell everyone else! All in all it was a fun time.
Jase also had his first night in his big boy bed all by himself! We can take the crib down soon since he’s been doing really well. He doesn’t cry when it’s time for bed, he has been known to wander down the hallway, or into our room and start talking away. “Mom?” “Moooommmm?” “Hi.” “night night”
I usually say, “night night Jase, go back in your bed” he runs to his bed
And this usually repeats a few times before he stays in his bed for good
We’re LOVING the awesome weather, but have only been to the park once recently. Jase loves being around other kids, well, anyone for that matter. He’s really come out of his shyness phase. Also, another huge accomplishment for him was going down the slide by himself. He hasn’t done this in 5 months. He has been too scared. The last time he went down a slide, I had taken him to a park with Gabby by myself and I couldn’t help him at the top and bottom of the slide, so I stood at the top to help him down, and he hit his head on the slide when he stopped at the bottom. I’m so glad he isn’t afraid anymore! He also loves the rock wall and has started saying “hi” and other things to other kids, which is another huge accomplishment with him. Anytime we get a chance at a playdate, or other social activity we go, and I think it’s really helping him along with his shyness. He usually has been a little leery the first few minutes we’ve went anywhere and it takes him 10 or so minutes to warm up to everyone and then he’s fine. Not now! Any park, birthday party, or friend’s house, and he jumps right in.
