Overheard on Road Trip

“I’m so sorry Aunt B, he just fell off the chair, I didn’t mean to do it” – Henry, my 5 year old nephew on why Ardun was on the floor and not in the chair where he was two seconds prior

“Give him some icing, it won’t kill him” – my entire family at a cousin's wedding while my 6 month old is being fed cream cheese icing (I know it won't kill him, but I'm not fond of giving him dairy at this age)

“Is that baby in your tummy?” – 6 year old girl in elevator at the hotel, I was wearing Ardun in a ring sling

“Wow, he made an ugly face!” and as I turn to see what Henry is talking about “Don’t worry Aunt B, I only gave him a tiny amount of cookie and then he sucked the chocolate off my finger, but he didn’t like it and made an ugly face.” – Henry in the car while we are driving home. I thanked him for sharing his food, but reminded him Ardun doesn’t need cookies yet.

“Aunt B, let me help and get your nursing cover for you.” Henry helping me feed Ardun at the wedding, I love this one.

“Wow, your baby is really small, what is he, 3 months?” – random woman in the pool at the hotel, I’ll remind you, Ardun is 6 months and 16.9lbs

“Where the heck is your mom?” me, asking the same 6 year old from the elevator while we are in a pool she can’t touch the bottom in. The answer: “I don’t know, somewhere over there.” SERIOUSLY???

“NOOO” – from my sister, Jenny, about a thousand times to her 15 month old son, Jack

“WOW, Mommy fail, your car seat wasn’t latched AT all today Becky.” – Jenny to me after a three hour car ride. Yep, MASSIVE MOMMY FAIL!

“What were you doing Aunt B?” – Henry to me after seeing me wear my nursing cover in the car while Ardun was next to him. “She was cold.” – Jenny to Henry “Ahhh, were you pumpin’ Aunt B?” Henry to me when he saw the milk. How does he know this stuff?

“Can we rip out that bathtub and put it in your truck?” – Jenny to my Dad after taking the most amazing bath at the hotel.

“Jen, is this movie inappropriate for Henry?” – me to Jen while watching the Hangover “Henry, close your ears and go to bed, I love this movie.” Jen to Henry

And P.S. Rachel and Mark have begun the journey across this country to California, so she will be MIA for a little while. We already miss them and Kansas City mourns losing and amazing couple and awesome little girl. We love you guys, travel safe!
