Well it was a good plan to begin with and for the most part a good Museum visit for the last day of the year (my favourite part was finding a tray full of dragonflies and Matteo's was visiting with Wilbur our adopted whale); however, an overtired little boy who wanted to do everything ended up by having a super duper tantrum in the cafeteria of the Museum of Nature, screaming stomping, rolling on the floor, and over and over again. Thank you to the parent who chuckled as he went by and the other parent who was more interested in our stroller than in what my little boy was screaming about. Sure made me feel like they had all been there before and a screaming child was nothing to worry about or bat an eye at. But it sure was stressful and I hope that 's the last time I need to force my very strong Matteo into his snowsuit....Lesson learned. Mommy wanted to head home for Matteo's nap but Matteo wanted to stay because he was having a good time but when mommy took too much of the muffin we were sharing, that triggered it!! (My usually very generous sharer was nowhere to be seen.) ...We've been having a good holiday with lots of socializing and afternoon naps, but late nights are getting to both of us. The next few days we'll try to return to a more routine rhythm in the hopes tha next week won't be too traumatic when we really get back to our routine.
Anyhow here's to putting this year to bed from one exhausted mommy and one very energetic little boy. It has been a good year of highs and lows, the kind of normal life stuff I guess. It will be a year to remember and for that I am grateful. I am looking forward to 2014 for a number of reasons and will end this blog with some photos of the better moments we spent at the museum saying goodbye to the old year in our special way.
Happy New Year to you and your families.
May 2014 bring you first of all health, then love, joy and prosperity in abundance.
