Cyrus's Spring Break Vacation (without us!)

Cyrus stayed back in Richmond while we went to Colorado for Spring Break. He spent the nights with Jill and Doc since my parents were also on Spring Break in Florida. I know it's a LOT to ask of someone to take in a 3 year old for 6 nights and we could not appreciate them more. On Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, he spent the majority of the days with Alison and Emma & Georgie. Alison is a life saver. Not only is she my best friend here in Richmond, she is the most amazing mom ever. She is an inspiration to me and I love her so much. She agreed to take Cyrus on (whole - heartedly might I add) when she already had her two crazy wonderfully wild children to deal with. Cyrus was in heaven. Anytime he can play with E&G he is thrilled. She had a full week planned for them including playdoh day, painting bird houses, the Children's Museum, the Fire station, Houligans, Sweet Frogs, the candy shoppe (Cy's first experience there, he loved it), and on and on. Between Doc & Jill, and the Anders, Cy had a wonderful time. We FaceTimed almost everyday and I spoke to him at least once a day, usually twice. He took it like a champ. I know he was getting lonely for me and B at the end of the week but he held it together. I was so proud of him. There was no WAY I could have been without my parents for that long when I was his age. I didn't even start sleeping over at other people's houses until middle school b/c I couldn't be without my parents! I'm glad he did great. It was a good warm up for Costa Rica in June as I will be gone for 12 days. But, he'll be with Brad the whole time which makes a big difference I think.
