We made it to San Diego safe and sound. Here’s a list of today’s high­lights and low-lights:

High­lights:
–I lear­ned that 2 year old boys can be com­plete angels!
–BC was totally intri­gued by anything air­plane.
–I lear­ned that earpho­nes and a DVD of Cars does keep a 2 year old enter­tai­ned for more than 3 minu­tes!
–BC got SODA. Yes. Soda. He was ecs­ta­tic. As a result he’ll be sin­ging my prai­ses for the next three months, mini­mum. Some­ti­mes you gotta bribe your kids with an off-limit treat!
–We visi­ted Mikayla and Caitlyn tonight. Mikayla is the most beau­ti­ful baby! And so tiny.

Low-Lights:
–eClaire poo­ped the very second we step­ped onto the plane.
–I chan­ged her on top of the tiniest toi­let known to man, in the air­plane lava­tory.
–eClaire screa­med, hys­te­ri­cally, for 1/2 of the trip. Good thing that amoun­ted to only about 30 minu­tes.
–I gave her soda to shut her up. Bad mom. Bad mom. But…she stop­ped crying momen­ta­rily as she drank it. There’s not a chance I would have ever given BC a sip of soda before his second birth­day. Oh how things change.
–BC began to shi­ver, vio­lently, while visi­ting his cou­sins.
–BC spi­ked a 103 degree tem­pe­ra­ture almost imme­dia­tely.
–BC was dosed with Tyle­nol.

At din­ner I had a beer. I’m wiped out. Loo­king for a more mellow day tomo­rrow! I’m glad to be in San Diego visi­ting my parents but now, I must sleep.
