We made it to the beach! I'm asked all the time whether the boys are similar or different in temperament, and this put the nail in the coffin - they are different! Eli loves the beach! He crawled through the sand, picked up the driftwood, played in the surf and loved every minute of it. Owen, on the other hand, had a difficult first day at the beach. He would watch the waves and start to panic as the water would get closer. He didn't like sitting in the sand (so he'd start crying and rub sand in his eyes and mouth!), and if you tried to put him down, he'd burst into tears. It took him about 45 minutes to warm up to the idea of being there - just enough time for us to be packing up to go home for dinner. Oh well, tomorrow's another day!
