My Dad invited us to visit him at the Westin Hotel in Princeton today. He was going to be working there for ETS and thought the kids would enjoy the indoor pool and staying over night. We arrived a little after 3 pm and immediately prepared to go swimming. David could not wait. He had his swim suit on in 2.2 seconds. Poor little Ava had to wear her onzie - I do not have a suit that fits her ;( I was not going to be seen in a swim suit in late January as pale and out of shape as I am. Thank goodness Steve is a trooper! Once they were all ready, we headed down to the pool. The indoor pool was pretty nice, but if you were not swimming, it was HOT. I was sweating just sitting and watching. Steve took Ava in and she had a great time. David was happy to find that he could touch the bottom. Steve had both David and Ava on him at one point taking them all around the pool. It was not long before Ava got the chills and wanted out. I took her out, changed her diaper and clothes and tried my best to occupy her. By this time, David has discovered the jacuzzi. He and Steve had a real blast in there. I thought for sure it would be too hot, but apparently I was wrong. I was losing the Ava battle, so I took her back up to the room and left David and Steve to soak in the jacuzzi. The heat must have gotten to the boys, because they were back at the room shortly after us. Once Dad was finished his work for the day, we traveled to Bordentown for dinner at Chickies n Pete's. Unfortunately the kids fell asleep in the car on the ride over, so dinner was not very relaxing. The food was still delicious. Even David ate his chicken fingers and enjoyed the honey mustard sauce. Ava loved my cheesesteak, but overall could have done without going to dinner. Back at the hotel, we got ready for bed and watched a movie. I gave Ava a bottle and attempted to put her to sleep in the pack n play. It took a good while, but she finally went to sleep. However, she did not stay asleep. She was up at about 2 am. I tried shaking the pack n play, rocking her and changing her. Eventually I let her run around the room and I layed on the floor to try and get some rest. Wouldn't you know she fell asleep on the floor? Although she did go to sleep, I barely slept. I was cold, uncomfortable and worried about her.

Indoor swimming- what fun this time of year! My outlook is if they are asleep- they are comfortable enough. Just cover with a blanket. :) Sorry to hear about the dental issues- I know how awful they are and I can't imagine dealing with it at 4 and 1/2.
