A Tale from Texas



On the way to Houston, Jax missed his opportunity to nap because of our flight time. He was just too excited on the plane to sleep. He didn't want to miss a thing, and that included his free drink and snack tray. There was no chance to nap once we landed because then he was caught up in the excitement of seeing family and being in a new place. Once we were in the car and headed towards the hotel, he finally dozed off in the backseat. We loaded him into a stroller during the check-in process, and when we were finally in the room, we tucked him into bed.

About an hour later, Jax woke up, and I immediately handed him the gift bag that his Aunt had put together. Talk about waking up to a surprise. He and Baylor received t-shirts (including the Texan football shirts in the picture), homemade cookies, drinks and snacks, and some toy cars. Excited about his presents and still somewhat dazed from his nap, he eventually looked around the room. After a long pause, he looked at me and asked, "Is this my new house?" Anh and I burst into laughter and then explained that we were in the hotel.

I guess we could have played a cruel joke on him and answered "yes," to the question. Wonder what his reaction would have been?
