We traveled to Minnesota to spend time with my side of the family over the holidays. We were in Minnesota for 10 fun filled days. Mostly we hung out at my sister, mom and brother's houses playing with my five lovely nieces and nephews.
The first day in Minnesota we watched my busy nephews Parker, 4, and Kellin, 18 months. At one point during the day, Parker had informed us that he pooped and Andrew looked at me with terror asking if that meant he had to wipe his butt. I informed him that was the case since I was busy. Andrew went to the bathroom to assist Parker, but quickly turned around with the same look of terror on his face. He said he just wasn't ready for that. At the end of that first day Andrew commented about how our lives were about to change and then asked if Pat could "just stay in there." I informed him it was a little too late for that. Towards the end of our time in MN, Andrew seemed a bit overwhelmed with the busyness of at least five young children running around, but he handled it like a champ, playing games, sledding and even a trip to DQ. I reassured him that there is a difference between one child and five. That seemed to help a little bit.
While we were home we also got a lesson on childbirth from my third nephew Dylan, 4. He explained how babies were born. He said mommies get bigger and bigger and then they explode, that's how babies are born. If only it were that easy.
We were also fortunate to meet up with a couple of really great long time friends for too short of visits. It was great to be home for Christmas.
