This week Henry and Eleanor escaped for some warm weather fun.\u00a0 Neither particularly enjoyed the ocean \u2013 Eleanor several times asked me to turn off the waves \u2013 but both enjoyed the pool.\u00a0 Henry liked the beach, and got a big kick out of burying his feet in the sand and then finding them again.\u00a0 Eleanor asked for a beach with \u201cno sand\u201d :)\u00a0 Henry also got a kick out of the baby pool that had some fountains in it \u2013 he would put his hand in the fountain, splash himself, and then giggle.\u00a0 This was Henry\u2019s first international trip, and his first time in the Caribbean.\u00a0 He wasn\u2019t particularly fond of the airplane flight.\u00a0 He didn\u2019t get much of a chance to work on his walking this week \u2013 so we will have to focus on that next week.<\/p>\n

Eleanor learned to say \u201cDominican Republic\u201d and \u201cPuerto Rico\u201d (our layover spot), and was an excellent traveler.\u00a0 She took the airplane flights in stride, and liked listening for the Captain to make announcements.\u00a0 She liked the fish and flamingos in the pond next to our hotel, but was surprisingly unimpressed with the family of peacocks that hung out near our room (once right on our patio!).\u00a0\u00a0 She loved hanging out with her cousins and family, and doled out lots of fist bumps.\u00a0 In the pool, her favorite activity was to search out a raft that we could borrow and then float around on it.\u00a0 She didn\u2019t like sunscreen or bug spray, but loved that Grandma was always ready at the end of lunches and dinners to explore the dessert table.
