I really don't have too much to write about so my apologies that it's been a while. I've been traveling a lot. I'm heading out to Las Vegas tomorrow so I thought I'd do a quick update before I'm gone for the next week.
Mer is pretty much potty trained and doesn't have accidents. We're still working though some struggles with pooping but she is doing great! She seems to be in a much better mood after getting her tubes put in last month and her appetite has gotten better it seems.
Some days we struggle with her but hey - she's 2.5. Some days she whines and dawdles and insists on doing everything her way. But other days she's the sweetest little thing I've ever seen. She really is a joy to be around. The other night she sat on my lap during book reading before bed and then after we turned the lights out, she just wanted to lay on me and cuddle. I really love this age. I'm going to miss her a lot next week.
As stated earlier, there really isn't too much going on at the Carlson household. Some of you know this but we are officially taking a vacation in May - without the child! I had enough frequent flyer miles for two free tickets to Europe so Paris it is! I was able to get a non-stop flight and we will be spending five whole days in Paris. I've been spending hours researching where we want to stay and what we want to do. I think I've finally found a place to stay that's reasonable (and let me tell you - Paris is EXPENSIVE). I've found that it's not uncommon to see hotels charging $300-$500/night. Oy. After I return from Las Vegas, I will be planning out our itinerary - I can't wait!
Here are a couple pictures of Meredith. Greg took these and of course she is happy to whip out her cheesy smile for him. She never does that for me.
