Vacation Update
We are almost 2 weeks in to our vacation. We drove to New York, then up to Boston then to Block Island where we are currently. We have been on Block Island almost 10 days ( we leave tomorrow) - weather has been beautiful and we have had a good time. Relaxed mostly, but also hit the beach a bit, went to the play ground, shopping and of course, eating, eating, eating.
Colin has been a big hit around here and has learned all kinds of new things, such as his now frequently yelled “Go Yankees!” or “Come on Yankees” - imagine that one with a semi-disgusted tone of voice in the “come on.” He has also been chasing butterflies and flying a kite. We discovered his love of the symphony one night when he spent a hour watching one on PBS. He keeps talking about the violin, cello “che-oo” and the flute. He has been very busy building towers with blocks. He attempts to put blocks on that no adult in their right mind would think would balance but by some miracle they stay up.
Colin has been come very demanding of Grandma - she always needs to come with us (well he likes everyone to come everywhere with him.) While we sit on the porch he tells every one which seat to sit in…it is pretty funny.
We are heading back to New York for the weekend and then back to Michigan on Sunday. Colin did really well in the car on the way here - before we even got to the Ohio border on the way he did say “Done the highway” - but seemed to forget about it after that. Hopefully he will be just as good on the way back.
Once we get back I have to prepare for Colin’s second birthday in a couple weeks. I can’t believe he is almost 2.
