Summer's flown & all the other true Cliches

Labor Day was the earliest it could possibly be this year and the summer has gone out with a bumpy bang. It's finally gotten unbearably hot and the transition back has not been fun. We took our first family trip up to Maine to see family which was great but also not quite the vacation we had been imagining. The ride up was almost 9 hours all told and while not as bad as it sounds was also not exactly enjoyable. Like many other things it's been checked off the list of things we CAN do. My grandma ran a B&B into her late 80s in Damariscotta so I've been lucky enough to get up to Maine every summer of my life and I hope the same will be true for JWS.

Also while we were up there his top two teeth cut through and are still making their way. Of course it always seems everything always happens at the same time so while his sleep was not great the week we were away the night we got back to Brooklyn it was as though there had been no regression or issues the previous 10 days. Maybe he's now too old to be in the same room with us? Like most things things makes me both happy (proud) and sad (scared) but overall I'm happy to report things do seem to continue getting better. I'll have a rough morning (or day) here and there but it continues to amaze me how much more we are able to love one another.
