New York Passage

While Tim is hard at work on the Tartan (seriously we need a name already...) I have been making a passage of a different sort - road passage to New York with my daughter and family.  My grandson, unfortunately, has had the misfortune of inheriting the family's Terrible Teeth and is requiring the services of his dental specialist in New York to save his yet-to-be adult teeth, so I drove to Indianapolis, stuffed me and my belongings in the back of their Chevy Aveo next to my grandson's carseat and began the long journey back to the East Coast.  12 peanut butter sammiches, 4 bananas,  2 boxes of raisins, 3 clementines, 1 apple, 2 glasses of milk, 18 repetitions of Itsy Bitsy Spider, 22 of Raffi's Brush your teeth, multiple toddler apps, and 2 naps later we arrived safely at the hotel in NYC.  A romp in the park with the soccer ball and all was well in Toddlerdome. The post-dentist recovery may not be so easy and Dema may have to pull out all the stops to make things better. It's a good thing we don't remember much of those formative years.



Tomorrow we meet up with grandson #2 and daughter #2 for a few more days It's a real pleasure getting to spend some quality time with the grandsons I rarely see.  I really only feel  mildly guilty leaving Tim to do all the boat work...

I am not sure which was funnier, your list of things on the way to New York or that you were only mildly guilty leaving Tim to do all the work. LOL

Enjoy Grandma :))
