X-man's state list

X-man's been to: Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Maryland, D.C., Texas, California and now... Missouri. 

We're sitting at Zeno's Steakhouse and Motel in Rolla, Mo., post my cousin's wedding but before the reception. X-man is very thankful for the pre-school room at the First Street Methodist Church, where he and I spent the 25 minutes before the ceremony and the 15 minutes during the ceremony and the 10 minutes after the ceremony playing with Little People and cars and trucks. 

We've just finished our Happy Meals and now X-man is playing on the floor with his bus and his Cars cars. 

Melissa and I are alternating changing Mom's bandages on her burns. Mom's eating regular food these days though, which is good. But she has formed a new attachment to the Hazelnut iced coffee from McDonald's. 

It was a long 4.5 hour drive down here, but we made it okay. X-man, Uncle Chris, Aunt Melissa and myself have been in the hotel pool twice. X-man shows no fear of the pool, which freaks me out a little. He seems to know not to jump off the ledge without me there to catch him, but will step off a stair into a deeper section of the pool without thought.  So, the three of us are all over him all the time. We also played at a park full of dinosaur climbing parks and slides.

Yay for your mom being back on solid food.

Yay for hotel pools and yay for X-man getting in the water.

Yay for your sister and BIL helping you out in the pool.

And really, this is first time X-man has been to Missouri? I would have figured you guys would have taken him to St Louis, at least to the zoo, by now :)
