It was quite a week as we returned from the trip for my father’s funeral, tried to return to normal(ish), and my son got obsessed with strawberry waffles.

Week in Review: June 28 – July 5

Our new normal – My father and dog both passed away within days of each other, so it has been a rough time. We flew to Missouri for the funeral, and since my husband is deployed overseas, it was my first solo plane trip with our son. He did great! Even when our first flight was delayed on the runway for two hours, he didn’t have a meltdown. Although I admit, I was close to one myself. He was a great little traveler. We are now home and adjusting.  The house seems kind of empty without my husband and our dog to come home to. Thank goodness my son does an extra good job of filling it up with noise and general chaos, lol.

Happy 4th of July! We celebrated this year with a big party on the 3rd of July. Since my son stayed up until 11PM on the 3rd, he was pooped out and asleep by 7:30 PM on the 4th! No complaints from me, since we saw a great fireworks display the night before and it was nice to be home safe and watch the fireworks from my back porch.

Leggo my Eggo! My son’s new favorite food is strawberry Eggo waffles. He’ll eat three of them in a row! All by hand, like a cookie, no syrup. I guess it’s no surprise, since I ate one almost every night around 2AM when I was pregnant. I’d wake up hungry and couldn’t get to sleep until I had a waffle and milk. What was a surprise, was when he made two of them on his own and surprised me with breakfast! I feel like there’s a breakfast in bed in my not-so-distant future.

That’s it for this week! Our next big adventure will be visiting Legoland and then trying to survive the summer until summer camp starts up again. So, do you have any big summer plans coming up? Let me know in the comments where your summer adventures will be taking you 🙂
