First time to travel with both kids, Yousef (2) and Mona (7months) has been quite an experience.
The nights have been hard but the help of family during the day has been amazing! For the first time on a family trip, Yousef has really enjoyed a vacation. He played with the cousins, enjoyed playing outside, going to the mall and just hanging out. The day has come when Yousef comfortably left the room to go play somewhere I was not. I could not believe it!
It's so strange watching him interact with his older cousins and try to hold his place in the group, not as a baby, but as an equal. With the typical tantrum here and there of course.
I never grew up with cousins around but it seems to be like so much fun! I am looking forward to the years of video games and movie nights, hopefully by then the tantrums would be gone!
