While staying with Grandma and Grandpa in Ottawa Declan was sleeping in the playpen mere feet from Mommy and Daddy's bed so it was a nice treat to wake up, look over and see my smiling little monkey waiting for me to come get him. He waits with big eyes and as soon as I make eye contact he gets a big grin and starts waving his arms and kicking his legs. He is pure sweetness.
So it was breakfast, some last cuddles and then we hit the road at 11am. Just one more quick stop before leaving Ottawa and that was to show Declan where his Great Grandma and Great Grandpa Garlish rest. Declan was napping when we arrived so Daddy carried him in his car seat to the site but little Declan opened his eyes so we could tell him where he was and let him know that his Great Grandparents would love him so.
The it was back on the road for the 4 1/2 hour journey back to Milton. It was a pretty uneventful drive, some naps, some bottle, some books, some toys...then we were home. After Mommy and Daddy got settled in Mommy had to step out to go see Cousin Madison sing at her music school event so Daddy and Declan had some quiet time together before Daddy put him in his crib for the night. This was the FIRST time Declan has even gone to bed without Mommy there. I have to say that I've never been so excited to be awaken at 4:30-5:30am in my life...I can't wait to see him since I missed putting him to bed.
