We had a great time in mass with my Dad and family. It was cold, but not too cold...and I didnt even use the snow boots I bought for Deo! Deo loves Grandpa sooo much and loved spending so much time with him. I loved it too, sleeping in and going shopping by myself...it was great! It was so special to have everyone together for Deo. I almost feel bad bringing him back here to be with just me most of the days. He played with Gina and even gave her hugs and kisses on his own. He wouldnt do it if you told him to but we caught him hugging her a couple of times. He chased Rupa the doggie around the house and she is still scared of him. But he ate excellent with my dad, and slept great there too. He didnt get any ear infections or colds at all, thank god!
He was okay on the plane ride up there, he screamed for like 5 mins before we took off and then slept most of the way. My new trick is to sit in the way back of the plane where the engines are, I think the sound of the engine helps him sleep. It was wonderful having Ilich to help on the way back, and he slept most of the way then too (and I did too!)
Deo got alot of toys for christmas, most of them stayed at Grandpas and a few things are coming this way. I bought him the bouncy horse, it is not together yet- but when it is you will sure see a video on here!
