Ben’s first road trip! Unfortunately, shortly before we left, he discovered the art of the temper tantrum. Plus he was cutting two canine teeth. So…
ROAD TRIP + NEW TEMPER + TEETHING SHARP TEETH = disgruntled child not easily calmed down
We went on a trip to New Orleans and San Antonio, to spend time with Blake’s aunt and dad respectively. It was a lot of fun and we are grateful to those family members that tolerated us. 🙂 We discovered that we can no longer take Ben out to restaurants; too antsy and impatient nowadays.
