Travelin' Man

Yesterday, Max went to FLORIDA!! WHAT?!? He rarely gets to spend time with my mom, sister, Allen and Zach, so when Wendy offered to take him to Florida with her to say I was EXTREMELY hesitant is an understatement (Kelly on the other hand was less so). It was so last minute and very spur of the moment. However, after LOTS of consultations, we decided to let him go to Florida without ME!!!! (As I type this I still cannot believe I let my baby leave town!) My mom is coming to town Wednesday so he'll be home really soon.

Well, after about 30 minutes of crying (me, not Kelly), Kelly loaded me up and took me to dinner. We had a nice night and got to hear our favorite band, Big Smith. I have called pretty much every hour on the hour since he left. Max, on the other hand, hasn't skipped a beat. Before he left, he kept saying bye-bye and was really ready to go! Wendy said he was great on the plane - so much so that the lady beside them had to compliment on how well he behaved. My mom said he's been going non-stop since arriving and having a FABULOUS time. He's been playing on the golf carts, running around, swimming and drumming! She says he has just been smiling and charming everyone. I was really worried about naptime and bedtime because he hasn't been to their house since April, but my mom says he has been great. So, I guess he remembers and is comfortable, which really puts me at ease. I miss him so so so much but am so relieved that he is having so much fun with my mom. It makes me happy that he is getting to bond with them and being such a sweet, charming baby! Say some prayers that I make it until Wednesday - I know he's in good hands but this is a LONG time to be away.

Here is a picture they sent to my phone where he's playing on the drums! (My dad will be so proud.) He's a natural!
