So, we’re back home. Home. HOME. It’s so nice.
Yes, the Mediterranean was lovely. Yes, we enjoyed the sunshine. Yes, the Roman and Medieval ruins were fascinating.
But. But.
There’s no place like home. Especially when you’ve got a 20 month old.
The major problem, I found, was the Benjy seemed to spend a whole lot of time like this:
Stuck in the stroller (that, by the way, is a stroller we borrowed from a friend, as ours was too massive to bring with us. I promise he doesn’t normally ride around in a pink stroller. :) )
He did find ways to entertain himself:
But I tell ‘ya. It was not nice sticking him in that thing for the whole day. And he protested. Oh, yes, he protested. By the end of our trip, he would keep his body stiff as a board as we tried to belt him in. And scream.
(The screaming, by the way, is new. We call it “Phase 2 Benjy”- not a welcome addition to his personality).
So, whenever possible, we’d let him out. And then spend the next few minutes chasing after him (Admittedly, Olli did most of the chasing. I played the pregnant card whenever possible).
So, we did the best we could, but it is so nice to be HOME, with a park nearby, and an actual backyard, and toys and everything.
Home, home, home.

It looks like you’ve taken my husband’s dream vacation! (minus a baby-stuck-in-stroller)

Love the photo of Benjy holding both feet in the air. So cute!
As we say in Kansas, “There’s no place like home!”
Wow, is he a little yogi or what? Oh does he look happy being ‘set loose’! Though you all looked like you had a blast, there is no place like home. Hope you all are recooperating!
Home is good!
He looks as if he’s made of rubber in the one shot!
