We're Here!

Everything was amazingly easy- he walked through the security check point all by himself (with his shoes off of course!) and all of the security people clapped for him! I gave him his Motrin and Benadryl which made him super sleepy. He slept for about 25 minutes- but was woken up by all of the announcements and beverage carts going by. We looked at his sticker book and watched about 3 minutes of his Elmo movie. The highlight of the trip was when the chocolate chip cookie cart came by! As soon as that basket of cookies reached us, he held up his hands to ask for his own! He gobbled it right up, but not before using it as a phone, so I had to clean the chocolate off of his ear! We took the Metro to my sister's apartment after meeting my dad at the airport. Jack LOVED the Metro! He insisted on getting out of his stroller so he could stand on the seat and look out the window. He took a pretty good nap yesterday afternoon and then we took him out to dinner. I brought several of those Gerber Graduate meals with us to save some money. He ate that while the rest of us had real food. After dinner we walked down to the monuments- there's just something special about seeing those monuments at night. Breathtaking. Jack was very tired when we all finally went to bed- around 10pm! He slept straight through the night and is getting ready for his morning nap right now. After his nap we're headed to the Building Museum, a walk around the Cherry Blossoms, and a visit to his Auntie Liz at work. Should be super fun!

PS. Jack met up with another of his favorite D.C aunties last night- Auntie Farya gave him a really cute Winnie the Pooh book and a Ladybug book. He looked at them again this morning and loved them! Thanks Auntie Farya!
