We are so excited for our trip to Las Vegas. We leave in exactly 10 days. We leave on Sunday, August 9th and return on Thursday, August 13th (our actual anniversary). We are staying at the Bellagio. We are going to the show Blue Man Group and the rest is up in the air...we have a list of all the things we would like to do so we will plan it out when we get there...no strict itinerary for this vacation!
Originally my parents were going to take care of Peter while we were gone. That way he could keep up his routine of daycare and therapy. Well that all changed last week because my mom fell on our stairs and dislocated her right ankle and broke it in 3 places and sprained her left ankle badly. She had surgery on her right ankle last Wednesday -- they put 2 plates and 8 screws in. She remained in the hospital until Monday of this week. Now she's at home laid up...and will be for quite awhile.
Since my dad is caring for her around the clock, he wouldn't have much energy to take on Peter for 5 days. A long time ago Ben's parents planned a trip up here to visit us August 14-16. So we asked Ben's mom to take the train up on Saturday, August 8th and stay with Peter while we are away. And then she will go home at the end of the weekend visit with Ben's dad. She agreed and we feel very fortunate that she is willing to help us with this! Our trip is already paid for so we couldn't hardly cancel it...Plus we have a ton of vacation to use at daycare so we will save money by Peter saying home with her that week. He will still have his 6 ABA sessions and his teachers at daycare said Paula could bring him there for Speech on Tuesday and Thursday. So his routine will basically stay the same -- he'll just get to spend a lot of time with Grandma. I'm pretty sure he will get spoiled... :D
Our days continue to be busy...Ben works long hours and I juggle my job, Peter and helping my parents now as much as possible. But it will all be worth it when we relax at the Bellagio in 10 days...
That's all for now...have a great weekend, everybody!
