Clark Baby

Hi Everyone. This is Laura. I'm home from my exotic Southern Caribbean Vacation and we all had a wonderful time. I'm not giving my mommy a lot of time to get pics from the cruise uploaded yet - but they'll be up eventually. I just wanted to say we're all well and we're home.

Here's some things about my trip:

I did not sleep through the night at all. In fact, some mornings I was up at 4:30 and 5:30 am... and that was after being awake 2-3 other times in the night. Yeah, mommy and daddy got sleepy. We all took quite a few naps in the afternoons!

I did not eat a single vegetable on the trip. Who do they think they are not serving frozen foods? They think everything has to be fresh. I showed them. Not a single veggie in 10 days. But I chowed down on my frozen broccoli when we got home.

I really like climbing stairs! We were on the 8th floor and most of our food was on the 12th. Mommy decided on day 1 that it'd be "fun" to take the stairs instead of the elevators. She thought it'd help prevent a 10 pound weight gain from all the good food. Mommy and daddy let me climb and go down a lot instead of always getting carried.

I did not take a bath. Yet, I learned how to say "bathtub". My mommy kept pointing out our window and saying we were in a "big blue bathtub"... so, now I know how to say bathtub. And yes, when I got home I ran into the bathroom, pointed to the tub and proudly exclaimed "bathtub"... of course, it doesn't sound that clear - comes out more like "batub".

I also learned "beep beep". Sounds like "bop bop". You'd think I picked that word up while we were driving the streets in NYC, but surprisingly we heard more "bop bops" in St. Maarten than we did in NYC.

Oh, and if I had my choice of clothing to wear while we were in Tortola - it would have been this - the sun was out and it was raining. Got to see plenty of nice pretty double rainbows. Yes, my mommy has pics, but like I said - not giving her a lot of time yet to work on them.

I still am not sleeping well since we got home. The hour time change on the 9th night of the cruise threw me for a loop. I was getting up at 5:30 each morning for 5 mornings and then today I slept until 6:30. Although - that does not mean I'm sleeping through the night here at home yet... I've been up 3-4 times each night since getting home. Last night I was only up once in the night. Hopefully tonight I figure it out and we'll all get some good sleep. Afterall - it'd only be fair to let my mommy and daddy get one good night of sleep before we all start back to our daily routines tomorrow. (Oh wait - daddy already did go back to work on Thursday!)
