The weekend at the hotel was a success! Alex was very happy with the abundance of water. Every time we were within eye sight of a pool, he would pull on my hand and just repeat, "Wahkah? Wahkah? Wahkah?" I got lucky though...no swimsuit for me! Travis took him in most times, and the other times his uncles were already in the water. Although each time he got out of the water, he came to me, which resulted in wet shirts and wet jeans. But no wet swimsuit, so I was a happy camper. And the monitor reached from our room to the pool area. Freedom!!!
Alex was also quite amused with the arcade games. Especially this dinosaur grabber thing. He never actually won anything...mostly because we never actually put tokens in the machine...but he loved pulling the lever and watching the tray of toys spin around at Mach 3. His cousins were much more successful. The ability all of those kids possess at winning balls of all sizes is nothing short of amazing. And being the awesome cousins they are, Alex got to bring one home. Which he spent about 20 minutes trying to sit on last night. It was one of those balls that are stretchy, so when you squish them on one side, the other side squishes out all huge and gross looking. This lovely attribute apparently makes it easier and much more amusing to sit on this particular ball. But then sitting on it evolved in to laying on it, and laying on it evolved into body slamming it...which evolved into a popped squishy ball. He handled it breaking much better than I anticipated. But I think that was solely because when it was all flattened and wobbly, it made it easier to whip it at the dog.
We have total control in our house.
