Show and Tell

Well, Addie and I are in Texas. She was fabulous on the flights. She didn't scream or throw fits and everyone thought she was just precious. The price that she extracted from me for that good behavior was on the longest leg of our trip on a very small jet she had the largest blowout that she has ever had in her 2 mo of life. So if you can imagine me walking from the front of this tiny jet to the back where the bathroom was with her over my forearm with poop all the way up her back (and not happy at this point) and the diaper bag in the other arm bumping into passengers along the way (most of them did stick out into the aisle) trying to figure out how I'll get her clean without covering her in poop when a very nice woman stopped me and offered her seat as a changing table and her assistance as well. Phew! The rest of the trip was uneventful, thankfully. :)

Yesterday we went into my Mom's classroom for show and tell. I didn't expect to be an overly protective mother but as the swarms of children (aka little petri dishes) started to descend on Addie that instinct definitely kicked in. Thankfully, the teachers had things under control and held the children at bay telling them to just look. Addie was alert and charming as Grandma showed her off.
Today we are going to visit Great Grandpa Clower and Elaine, his wife, who is undergoing pacemaker surgery tomorrow, so if you think of it be praying for her.
It's hot here, reaching the 90's and the G-Pops has been a bit stingy on the air conditioning (or maybe just not wanting to freeze). :) But Addie and I are adjusting and are loving being with my folks.
Love,
Marcie

LOL! Told you that you'd need at least 2 extra outfits for her and an extra shirt for you!!! Glad she was good for you and glad that someone offered to help out! Hope you have a great time, tell the G-Pops I said hi! :)
