Home?

You know your vacation is either too long, or too boring, when your child says, "home" only 3 days into it!

Yes, last night Kayla kept saying/asking for "home" and poor kid, she has no idea how much longer we'll be travelling!

We were in OK for a couple days with the in-laws and now we're in St Louis for 2 nights. Last night Kayla kept saying "home" and she's never asked for home before! She'll say "home!" when we turn down our street, or pull into the carport, but she's never asked for home while we've been out.

I wondered if I misunderstood her and maybe she was asking for help with something. So I tried that, "help?" and Kayla said "no." I said, "home?" and she said, "yeah." I said, "you want to go back in your car seat and drive?" which Kayla responded with "yeah, a'mon (come on) Mommy, 'mon"

I was surprised she wanted to actually get back in her car seat! After an almost 10 hr drive yesterday I figured she was done with that!

So as I said, we're in St Louis today. We thought we would go to the zoo, but it's raining. So we went to the St Louis Science Center for a couple of hours where Kayla just had so much fun!

We're going to have an IRL get-together with some families I "met" from a Down syndrome message board! Actually Becky and Andrew met us at the Science Center and Becky is hosting a BBQ at her house this evening with 3 other families from the message board - I'm so excited!

Pictures will have to come later after we get back home; I forgot the cable to be able to download the pictures! Oops!

Tomorrow will be another day on the road, unfortunately for Kayla it's not the road back home!
