The Traveling Fun Show

Our Memorial Day weekend ended with a trip to The Park at MOA, formerly known as Camp Snoopy. What a fun place for a two-year-old! Nathan loved the semi truck ride so we took turns taking him on that ride three times, among other fun kiddie rides.

Our family outings are always a blast until ... Hunger Strikes! Frantically pushing our double stroller in search of a good place to change diapers and feed Gavin, I hear Nate crying out for his pacifier saying, "Noot! Noot!" and he only gets more and more upset when we cannot hear his cries above Gavin's high-pitched hunger scream. We must have looked like the traveling fun show.

I seriously think it's time to start weaning little Nate off his "noot." I can see it now, Nater's first day of kindergarten - Mommy and Daddy stand at the end of the driveway watching him peer at us from the window of the bus and then he waves bye-bye while sucking on his noot. I imagine it would look much like the picture you see here as he waves from his little semi truck while sucking his fave, the "Tiggi Noot," a lovely noot with a picture of Tigger on it. Ahhh yes, it's time to do something about this addiction of his. And just when I thought our battles were over for a while now that we have finished a successful transition to the big boy's toddler bed. The joys of parenting!
