AJ and Brooke headed to Florida for a visit and because we weren’t sure that Alex would be able to travel yet, he stayed home with me.  We got some alone time mother/son bonding and it was fun to spend time with him at a time in his life which I was one on one with Brooke at the same age.  We had a blast!  We spend several days at the pool, I took Alex to the beach but it got rained out and so we played on the playground and I made it up to him by seeing the animals at the farm and letting him enjoy some chocolate ice cream, went out to dinner, we went to a Norfolk street fair, and he got to work in some cooking (something Brooke usually monopolizes).  We both had a lot of fun but were very happy to see Brooke and Daddy when they got home!
