Calum had a weekend of firsts - his first big trip, his first time in Kamloops, his first stay in a hotel, his first visit to my parent's house, his first visit to Don's parent's house and now his first week without his sisters at home. First off, the weekend was pretty busy. Calum is a bit of a fussy traveller. Let's just put it simply - he likes to eat when he is hungry and travel cuts into feeding time. It took a great deal longer than usual to get to Kamloops but he was a pretty good boy most of the way [a few stinky diapers being the only real exception].
On Friday night we all stayed in a hotel in Kamloops. Calum got to meet Desiree and Dakota's relatives and even got some gifts from them. On Saturday, Don dropped Calum and I off at my parent's house in Merritt and he and the girls went to a wedding in Kamloops. Calum and I were off to a baby shower hosted by my mom and my sister. He got to meet a lot of the aunts and cousins. He also got very spoilt. The downside was he was a very hungry boy that day and spent a great deal of time eating rather than visiting.
On Sunday, Don and I had a bit more of a visit with my mom and nieces and then returned home, via a quick stop at Don's parent's place. It was a lucky thing we went there because just as we were pulling off the freeway, Calum got terribly hungry and cried like I've never seen him cry before. It was funny because I knew he couldn't be starving - he had eaten in Chilliwack. However, he wanted his milk so we quickly made our way to Newton and feed the little guy before he had a visit with his other grandparents. The picture that Don posted of him smiling seems to sum it all up. I think he was telling his grandma that he had a good trip and made off with a lot of great presents.
I've got a few photos of the baby shower that I will post soon. Must make my way through my email first.
