Chef Connor and Cuddles

    Connor and I have been spending all day together since Aaron has gone back to work. It is hard at times because we aren't in our home with our things, but we make it work! One thing we do A LOT of is running around. Either I push him in the stroller or I carry him in the Boba. This morning I had to make a quick trip to the transportation office across the street. Since it's on the second floor, I chose to use the Boba so I didn't have to worry about taking the elevator.

  I mastered the art of putting him on my back by myself.

Our {Eventful} Day

Most days aren't this busy, but for some reason today was!

5:50 Aaron left for work.

6:00 Connor woke up, so I brought him into bed with me.

6:30 I decided to finally get out of bed after trying for 30 minutes to get him to go back to sleep. He was just way too hyper.

6:40 I took Kylie outside and then grabbed breakfast from the lobby. It takes me two trips when I have to carry Connor. He ate a whole blueberry muffin, a piece of a boiled egg, and cereal. I ate cereal, a bagel, cereal, and the rest of his boiled egg.

7:00 I started to get ready for the day. Connor played until it was his turn to get dressed.

His mean face that he does quite often these days.

Connor's New Tool Bench

     As you all know, we have been living in a hotel for quite a while now. I have felt really bad for Connor because we only brought a few of his toys with us (the rest will come when our household goods arrive in about a month). While browsing Facebook, I saw a post on my news feed that somebody was selling a kids tool bench with tools for only $5! I commented on the post and after the 2 people that were in front of me decided to pass, I got it! The man selling it brought it to our hotel for us. After I cleaned it, Connor had fun playing with all the pieces and banging them together. He is a little small to play with it correctly, but he will grow into it. 

Relaxing

     Today was a relaxing day. We spent all morning in our pajamas. I layed on the couch and watched TV, Connor played with ALL his toys and made a huge mess, and Aaron played games on his computer. It was so much needed since it's always go, go, go these days. At lunch time, we picked up lunch and went to our friends new house. We spent the whole afternoon there and didn't get back to the hotel until close to 7. We had leftovers for dinner and then went to sleep pretty early.

We found this big snail in our friends yard.

Catching Up

     I have been slacking, BIG time. I think I have a pretty good excuse though. We have been really busy. Since my last post, we have both passed our drivers test and got our Italian drivers license (I got a 100, but I am still scared as heck to drive here), we signed the rental contract on the town home we are going to live in for the next 3 years, we bought a car, we celebrated our 3 year anniversary, and we have started to venture away from the base. 

    We have been living in a hotel for 29 nights, and still have 13 more to go. We are ready to get out of here. We have tried to help Connor adjust by making it feel like he is at home. We put his suitcase on the ground with all his toys so he can play whenever he wants.

 He likes to sit in it.
