Cheers!

Last night we all went out to eat at the local Chili's restaurant. Hayden had taken a two-hour nap before we went and was still feeling a little groggy from being woken up and he was, as a result, grumpy (well, grumpy for him!). After we ordered, a guy came around and made Hayden a balloon cat; but, the piece-de-resistance all night for Hayden was drinking my strawberry lemonade using the straw. Now, Hayden is used to drinking very diluted juice...not straight lemonade. Needless to say, he was not tired, or grumpy, after the sugar hit. He was the life of the party.

As I have mentioned before, my family have taught Hayden how to say "Cheers!"...now, they have taken it one step further and shown him how to lift his glass, tap glasses with others and then take a sip. Nothing but education on this trip! At first, Hayden was content to do that with his sippy cup of diluted juice...but, then that wasn't enough. He took my empty, plastic mug and started doing "Cheers!" with it. It was hilarious!

We all got to bed around 10pm last night and Hayden woke up around 7am this morning...it is now 9am and he has been back in bed for his morning nap for the past half an hour! He is preparing for today's big adventure...
