After all the driving and one very fun, sunny, warm afternoon in the sun and sand, Jack was exhausted and slept like a rock in his very large bed/bedroom all by himself!
I tried to get Jayden to take a morning nap in his carseat so I could have some "down time" on the beach while Jack and Daddy played....... however, after walking back and forth for half an hour, or more, I lost track, to try and get him to sleep. He woke up the minute the stroller stopped moving. :( Oh well, I was hoping that trick would work again like it did for Jack in Florida. Instead I walked along the beach while Jayden slept in my arms for another half an hour. At least he got a little nap (however uncomfortable) and I got to stay out in the sun rather than sitting in the hotel room while he napped.
Jack was a little apprehensive of the waves at times, but overall he did really well. He liked to "jump" over them with mom or dad!
Jayden wanted to so bad to play with his big brother, but most of the time Jack did not want to be bothered, or to share his toys :( We could see Jayden fight for what he wanted a little bit though - he would pull on Jack or push him arm off when Jack tried to push him... at least he's starting to defend himself a bit!
We showed Jack how to get up next to the edge of the water and let the waves fill his bucket... he was so cute! Sometimes though, because of the different waves and tides he was a little short - it was funny to see him just squat there when that wave wasn't coming anywhere near his bucket! Overall Jack was really good about waiting for one of us before he ran down to the water, and staying close by while playing.
In the evening we checked out the sand/salt water pool outside our hotel. There was a normal swimming pool part and then this really shallow part with sand/salt on the bottom. Both boys loved it! Jayden and I just walked around in the sandy part, but Jack and Daddy were swimming all over :)
Monday afternoon Jeff went into a nearby Urgent Care center to get some medicine for a sinus infection. It took a little longer than expected - the boys and I ended up waiting in the car for an hour!!! But at least Jack took a much needed nap.........
...too bad I then had to stay put in the car trying to keep Jayden happy and entertained, and quiet!
