I think yesterday Gideon experienced the most fun ever in his entire life. Hung out with his favorite people, saw his first riding-mower, ate lunch next to an indoor swimming pool, used his first vending machine, used his first pay-parking machine (he hit the "help" button, oops), rode on several elevators, ate two desserts (chocolate mousse cake & apple pie ala mode) after dinner -- and is currently spending his first night in a hotel. He couldn't sleep. I let him stay up until the ungodly hour of 10 p.m. watching cartoons hoping he'd fall asleep, he didn't. I turned off the light for an hour, he giggled the entire time -- way too excited to be here. Finally he fell asleep at 11:20 p.m.

It's going to be a rough day tomorrow with the dinosaurs.
