Before I left for vacation i started getting that guilt feeling of leaving my child for the first time to go on vacation. Like are parents supposed to go on vacation when they have a 2 year old, is my baby going to miss me too much, Am i going to miss her too much, is she going to sleep peacefully without me there? so many questions filled my head.
So, you know what I did? I planned a few activities (more than usual), for us to do before my departure. One of our trips were to The Museum of Art and Design. I cannot believe it took us this long to make it here, and that we hadn’t visited sooner. However, i am glad we went when we did, since we were able to a few exhibits which were on it’s last days.
here are some pictures from our trip to the museum below
This Forbidden fruit exhibit by Chris Antemann was so beautiful
I’m just loving her interaction and excitement while at the museums, she goes “ohhhh mommy look over there”
Oh, and by the way Alani did okay, for the first time, while mommy was away, there were very few meltdowns on both ends, but we made it through. I feel like this trip has helped the both of us. Parents it’s okay to need a break, and take one every now and again, without feeling guilty, as long as your child is in good hands, it’ll be just fine. This trip has also given Alani a little more strength, on days that she would usually cry or get upset that i’m leaving, whether it’s to go to work, or whatever the situation is, now she’s just like “Bye mommy see you later”
