Daniel and Lauren invited us to go with them to Sea World on Friday. I was hosting a baby shower for one of our friends at our house on Saturday morning so I wasn't sure if we would be able to go. Thankfully Lauren offered to come help me Thursday night and my mom also helped me by sewing my curtains up that I had just bought so I would have them hung before the shower on Saturday. I was able to get enough done that I felt like we could go on Friday and take Layton and Cooper. That night before Thursday night, Layton woke up almost every hour so Clifton and I both woke up exhausted Friday morning. We debated about whether or not we should try to go but we decided we would go because we weren't sure if we would have another chance to go as a family with Daniel and Lauren. Layton was so fussy all morning. We were those parents with the bad kid at Seaworld. He threw so many fits and refused to ride in his stroller but wouldn't walk and hold our hands either. Clifton kept looking at me and saying we should have stayed home. He was fine if we were riding a ride or doing something but there was a lot of walking around to get to different areas of the park and he was so impatient. He enjoyed the first 5 minutes of the Shamu show and then he was restless and ready to leave. We made the best of it and once we got to the water park Layton turned into a different child. I was surprised he lasted as long as he did with no nap but he loved the water park. We went to the new Sesame Street area for the little kids and the larger water park. They have so many neat areas for smaller kids to play in. He had a blast. Finally about 4:30 we got him out and changed him into dry clothes. He ate a few goldfish and I looked at the stroller and he was out. He slept a good hour and a half and in the car some too. He woke up happy and laughing. I'm glad we went even though Layton was difficult. He ended up getting really sick the next day so that is probably why he was acting the way he was and we just didn't see the signs. Poor baby we wore him out that day at Seaworld too.
