The kids have been SO excited about our trip for the last few weeks. They can't wait to see Gigi and Papa Dean and their cousins. When John pulled the motorhome and jeep into the driveway last week, they were elated!! Little Bud kept pointing to it and saying, "Momohome! Gigi! Papa Dean! Bye Bye!" Big Sister was a great help getting us packed and ready to go. She helped take care of Little Bud in her room for a while, keeping him occupied as we loaded things up, and then she even helped us pack up the last of our things before we hit the road.
John gave Big Sister his old iPod before we left, and I loaded all of her Classical Conversations memory work CDs (most of the memory work is in fun song form), a few episodes of Adventures in Odyssey, some Your Story Hour podcasts, her History of the World CDs, and of course a few Disney Princess CDs. She even got to pick out her own headphones the day we left (she chose sparkly Doc McStuffins ones!). During our drive up, she hardly took her headphones off. She even listened to her iPod when Little Bud was a watching a movie or two, and she is not usually one to miss out on a movie! She might have all of her CC memory work complete for the year by the time we get home!
Little Bud enjoyed passing his time in the "momohome" by listening to "Frozen Heart" (the first song on the Frozen soundrack) on repeat (as in, we've already listened to it 4500 times). He did take a break every now and then to ask for a "moomie". His favorites are Frozen, Monster's University, Sheriff Calli and Peppa Pig. Whenever we made a stop, he was always eager to get back into his seat to continue the journey (which is out of character for him, since he usually fights us putting him back in the car seat when we're on a trip).
