Our last 4 days were spent up in Oak Harbor with Nanny Jo and the Earl clan.
On the way over we stopped in Marysville (one of many stops) for what was supposed to be a quick gas-potty-n-stretch break. Not so much. When James was inside grabbing a drink I was walking and playing with Will in the parking lot. Then IT happened! Will tripped on his own foot and fell. When I picked him up my first thought was to look at his legs and hands, but they were fine. His top lip was gushing out blood and swelling up a lot. I immediately grabbed napkins and wipes and told James (who had just walked out to the car) to get ice. Poor Will barely even cried and was very helpful by allowing me to clean him up and give him ice. Once the bleeding stopped, I put him in his car seat and gave him the ice bag. The rest of the trip he barely moved the ice away from his lip!
The next day was his 2nd birthday and he had a busted lip. Nice. Despite that, James and I took Will to pick up a little something at Whidbey NEX. Will picked up a birthday balloon with jungle creatures on it and was the happiest kid! Then we went to a park James use to play on when he was Will’s age (which was right on a beach). Will loved it! Once we were all tired, we headed back to have some ice cream birthday cake.
That weekend we went to Langley fair and they threw us a combined birthday and going away party. Both deserve their own “blog” in all reality, but BOTH were great and fun was had by all. Hopefully you can tell by the pictures.
After that we drove down to SeaTac and started our first leg of the trip to Guam!
