Long Week

Well, David had the week off and we planned an impromptu vacation at the beach.  I found a great deal on a hotel and we went for 2 days.  I thought it would be great.  Amanda loved the beach last time we were there and so I thought it would be fun for her and it was the first day but for some reason the second day she was all upset and scared.  I think Jonathan may have freaked her out a little because he said he got pinched or bit by something.  I don't doubt he stepped on something but I don't think that he actually got bit there was no real mark.  Anyway after that Amanda was afraid to go in the water.  Jonathan had a great time after we got him a pair of water shoes.  I am glad he had a good time we even invested in a body board. and he had a blast playing in the waves.  Amanda didn't have much fun.  I wonder sometimes if we cater to her too much but I am trying not to do that so much.  It is hard because she can be so needy.  I tried to get her to go in the waves and she wanted to but every time a wave approached she got scared and ran screaming.  She wanted me to give her a piggy back ride in the water.  Amanda told me how far to go in and she seemed to have fun.  I tried not to push her and at one point David offered to take her back tot he room. She just wanted to go to get a drink.
