Sorry I haven't written but we have been pretty with our trip to visit my Grandma and Great Grandma. We made it here safe and sound and are having a good time but boy was it a long trip.
I kept Mommy up all night before we left (she got a full hour and a half of sleep). Mommy thought that maybe she would be able to get a little bit of sleep in the car but I had other plans!!!! We left early Monday morning, Daddy wanted to be on the road at 8 but we didn't quite leave so early... It took a bit longer to pack my "gear" than Daddy hoped. We had a nice drive, I made sure everyone got out and stretched their legs every 2 hours or so and while they were at it they could give me a bottle and change my stinky. Mommy tried to sleep in the car but every time she pulled out her pillow and got comfy I decided it was time for us all to get out and I would start crying. Mommy swears I am psychic and wait just for the moment she tries to sleep to cry... I will never tell anyone my secret!!! We drove ALL day until we got just outside of Bakersfield and we hit fog so thick Daddy could hardly see the cars in front of us. We stopped and Mommy and Daddy had dinner at Denny's then checked into a hotel for the night. Mom and Dad were wiped out and hoped they could get some sleep but after sleeping in the car all day I just didn't feel like sleeping and I stayed up fussing all night. Mom felt really bad cuz Daddy was doing the driving and with us all staying in one room there was no way for her to let him sleep when I was crying all night. Mommy said Daddy was really great about it and at one point Mommy and Daddy turned around in the bed and put their pillows at the foot of the bed and they both were trying to sleep while they each had their hand on my bouncy and trying to keep me busy. Mommy and Daddy even tried putting me in the bed between them and cuddled with me to get me to sleep but I just felt more like fussing. I finally was tuckered out around 530 and fell asleep, they got a whole 2 and a half hours of sleep before the wake up call came and we got on the road again. When we got up it was still really foggy but they could see about 200 feet in front of us so we went ahead and left. We listened to the radio and the fog was SO bad that a few miles away in Fresno they actually canceled 22 flights out of the airport and were not letting anything land until about 3 that afternoon!!!
We finally got to Grandma's about 2pm. Grandma and Great Grandma were THRILLED to see me!!! I totally LOVE all the fuss everyone is making over me of course. I stayed awake to get to know them most of the day. My Great Uncle Warner and Daddy's Cousin Pat even came to meet me. I was a hit as usual. Mommy and Daddy had a really nice dinner with the family and then I fell asleep. Mommy and Daddy had just finally gone to bed when I decided I felt like a bottle so I had Daddy get up for me. I was a really good baby and went right back to sleep after my bottle and then I didn't wake anyone up until 530. Mommy said she was actually happy I slept that long but I didn't feel like going back to sleep until about 7. I woke Daddy up again about 830 but Grandma was up and she took care of me so Mom and Dad could sleep.... I guess I must have really been pushing Mom and Dad the last few weeks cuz since they didn't have to get up with me they actually slept till 230 in the afternoon!!! Mommy couldn't believe they slept that long but was SOOOOO grateful for the sleep.
When Mom and Dad finally got their lazy butt's out of bed we all went out to Walmart and did some shopping then came home and had dinner. Mom felt bad we wasted a day of our trip but I got to hang out all day with my Grandma and Great Grandma so it was not a waste for us!!!
Tomorrow we are going sight seeing and Grandma said there is more family coming to meet me. Mommy and Daddy brought the stupid mini doggies with us so they have been trying to get more attention than me.... Silly doggies!!!!
I guess I better try to get some sleep so I can be my adorable self in the morning!!! Nighty night!!!
