I am just SO proud of Hannah these days. I mean... I'm always proud of her but she has really been put through the ringer these past couple months. a 5 week trip up to canada (which we drove) and then two weeks home and back on another week long trip to florida (which we also drove)
and throughout this whole thing not only has she NOT been grumpy but she has been totally sociable and happy. She has met more people in the past two months than probably in her entire life and she has not once played strange or anything. She is her usual happy outgoing self. and on top of being completely out of sorts she is still learning all kinds of new things and is saying at least one new word everyday.
But to top it ALL off.... she was stuck in a carseat for a ten hour trip to canada (20 hours total... there and back) and a 16 hour trip to Florida ( 32 hours total there and back.) of course we stopped over night during this trip to florida but that is still about 8 hours a day stuck in a car seat.... and has she complained ? not one bit. She has been perfectly content to sit in her car seat all those hours... and not many of them were spent sleeping. I think SHE has handled the drive better than we have.
I'm just so proud of her. She is such a trooper and I don't know how we got so lucky as to have such an easy going child like her. So on the way to florida she got to have a whole bowl of ice cream all on her own becuase she was so good and today she got a couple of pieces of chocolate for being so good. Gosh I love this little girl
