I took Amelia to Barnes & Noble today. At first, she quietly played with the trains. Then she kind of strolled around, touching all the books. The stroll turned into a run. I let her be free, keeping close behind her. She wasn't bothering anyone and she wasn't making a mess, UNTIL about 15 minutes into her 'run' she started pulling books off the shelf and turning into a little monster. That was our cue to leave. It's like she knows, she just grinned as I scooped her up, cleaned up the mess, and bee-lined out the door with her.
I have been dying over these Dora slippers that my friend Julaine sent a while back. She wore them all day yesterday, and they didn't even fall off!
I'm already nervous about my trip alone with Amelia in the airplane. Especially now that she is walking and we can't get her to sit still for 5 minutes, let alone 3 hours. And she doesn't really watch any movies yet. I'll have to bring lots and lots of books. I'll also get a taste of what it's like in 3 or so weeks when we visit Wisconsin, with Juan there to help! Only 3 weeks away, yahoo!

Totally understand that anxiety about taking her on a plane by yourself--having a practice run with Juan will be helpful in calming your nerves I think! When we moved, we all drove--I was so nervous about how Cameron would do for 3 straight days in the car, but he ended up doing really well! I'd be nervous to do it again though--which of course, we'll be doing again :) Good luck!!
That sounds so nice to just show up and have all the boxes in your apartment ready to unpack. It will be fun getting all of your stuff out again. I just love little Amelia. She has such a fun personality and it will be interesting to hear how you keep her entertained. She loves to run around!
