We just got home from our weekend in Hattiesburg. It was a busy but very fun weekend. We went up because it was USM's homecoming. Austin and my dad go to all the games but this was the first and perhaps the only one Colby and I would make it to this year.
I left Friday with my parents and Colby. We hoped to get out around 12:30 and have plenty of time in Hattiesburg that afternoon to relax. It ended up taking us 2 hours though just to get out the city. It was very frustrating we spent over 4 hours in the car. Thankfully though Colby was a trooper and never fussed. He also stayed dry the entire time! He is doing so well with that! Anyway once we got there my parents had to do a quick grocery run for us. After they got back we went out to eat with Austin's parents. Austin was on his way up by that point he couldn't leave until after work that day. It was nice to visit with Austin's parents and mine. Colby was really good too! After dinner we decided to take Colby back to the apartment playground so he could burn off some energy! He had the best time! They have a really big slide that has turns to it...Colby must have gone down that thing 50 times! He just giggled and laughed...he's truly going to be a daredevil! We all had fun seeing him have a good time! I now know where we will be taking him when we go to the apartment haha. After he played we took a walk around. It was nice outside and fun to look at the Halloween decorations. Afterwards we bathed Colby and by that time Austin arrived. We got Colby tucked in bed and I was honestly a little worried that he wouldn't sleep...it had been awhile since the 3 of us have slept in the same room. Plus this was only the 2nd time he slept on his new little blow up toddler bed! But he did great! We didn't hear a peep out of him all night! WHEWW so glad!
The next morning we got up and ate a good breakfast then Austin, Colby, and I headed out the the USM homecoming parade. We weren't going to get to take him to the game so we wanted to atleast take him to the parade. He loved it! This was only his 2nd parade experience. He went to Mardi Gras this past year. He loved the parade though...the cars, trucks, police, and firetrucks were all up his alley! He was very good during the whole thing! After we rode around campus to see all the Homecoming decorations. We also stopped by Austin's parents so they could visit with us for a little bit. We wanted to get back to the apartment though and rest so we didn't stay long. We ate lunch then all ended up laying down for a nap and Colby slept almost 3 hours! I was so proud of him this trip how well he slept!
For the game it was Austin, me, his sister Wendi, and my dad. Colby stayed back at the apartment with my mom. Austin's parents and Shelbi and Maggie went over there to play too for some of the evening. From what I hear they all had fun and Colby did really well. They said he played with his cousins really well! Its fun seeing them grow up together. Shelbi is 6 , Maggie is 4, and Colby is 2. They are stairsteps! The game was fun except the fact USM lost but it was nice to relax and watch the game and visit with Austin and his sister. Again we all slept good that night...I was worried once again how Colby would do especially since he had been put down by my mom and we weren't there but he slept all night!
Today we got up pretty early to head home. We wanted to get in in time to relax and get some house chores done before the Saints game. Colby was pretty good. We played outside some and I think he was glad to get back to all his cars/trucks. We were all sad about the Saints loss though hopefully they will do better next week! Colby has been letting us know when he needs to potty and even going to the potty when he has to poop although I think that one is going to take some time to perfect. Tonight he went a few times and had a small case of diarhea...just hoping it was something he ate and not the beginning of getting sick! Last October he had his first ear infection so far we have just had small colds so I am praying it stays that way! I always get worried though after being out of town b/c that is usually when we come home sick!
