We had our Mancini Family Reunion in Connecticut this weekend. It was the first time that we've had Aidan out for a full weekend and sleeping in foreign territory. The last attempt was around Christmas when he was still comparatively stationary. Now that he's hitting stride, this was a different story. I call this a dry run because we look at every outing like this as a learning experience for Disney. I think we just learned Disney is going to be harder than we hoped. 

Napping was out of the question this weekend. He refused until he just about passed out from exhaustion. Going to bed later without a nap didn't expand his night time sleeping like you'd think either. He woke up at the same horrific hour as he does every morning as if he needed to start his shift at the coal mine. 

For those who haven't had to deal with a tired 18 month old, imagine being caught in a sleeping bag with a claustrophobic badger. Its pretty close to that without the rabies concern.

We're home now and he's sleeping peacefully. I did manage to get some shots of him in between the carnage. Click on the photo above to go to the photo album or head there on your own from the links to the right.
