Leaving for the beach today, Penny Rose fell asleep about 5 minutes into our trip. We got caught in about an hour of bumper to bumper traffic and she woke up right after we cleared it absolutely LIVID that we were not at the beach yet. Sorry I can't bend space time girlie I do be trying
She was refusing to speak to us unless it was about the beach
"What do you want for dinner"
"I wanna go to the beach"
"How are you feeling??"
"I wanna go to the beach"
"Did you have a good nap?"
"Beach"
Did we go to a fucking Cracker Barrel for dinner because all penny is willing to say other then "beach" is "pancakes"
Yes yes we did
Had to stop for the night because we're so so tired, stayed about 2 hours from where we're going-
Jump cut to it being 5:30AM and two tiny eyes at the side of the bed are whispering
"I wanna go to da beach"
We made it to the beach and within 15 minutes she
-sprinted into the ocean
-came in a centimeter of catching a seagull
-joined a fully adult soccer game
-convinced a group of children to attack her father with squirt guns
We're here for a weeks folks
After a solid three hours of just chaos (and my husband and I tag teaming in and out to idk just survive) she stopped, whispered "I need to eat" and then started sprinting towards the hotel rooftop restaurant, I assume, being led by smell and instinct alone
We did manage to get her back to the hotel to lay down for an hour but she did in fact yell EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE A CAT (just that sentence) for that whole hour
Jesus Christ she's joined a bachelorette party
I think we successfully tired her out because she didn't come to the side of the beach and demon whisper BEEEEEEAACH until 7:45 this morning
She's currently shotgunning frootloops and waving at anyone who walks into the lobby
I need a coffee IV
Being a mom to the most extrovert extrovert to ever extrovert is so fun and also so tiring lol
My husband is taking her for a beach walk while he drinks his ghost energy drink and I'm going to get around and then we're going to take her into the city for the day and hope there's enough there to keep her occupied pray for us
Got a voice note of Penny just screaming
I HAFFA GO TO THE OCEAN
hoping my child returns and doesn't give in to the call of Posiedon
SHES FOUND A SECOND COMPLETELY DIFFERENT BACHELORETTE PARTY!? HOW!?
As my husband just pointed out after seeing this post
"She did find them and they were NOT happy that she had to leave, we were harshing their vibe, Penny was not"
Took her on a nighttime beach walk, during low tide when there is a lot of sea foam
Smash cut to penny galloping down the coast screaming DADA THE OCEAN HAS BUBBLES
She's eating a corn dog at 8:45 pm because we straight up couldn't catch her / convince her to leave until now
10:45 pm and I think I'm safe I think she's asleep and I just heard the tiniest
"Ooooooh yeaaaaaaaaaaah" from her bed as she finally ends her day long rendition of everybody wants to be a cat
Can't wait for day 3
I guess she technically slept in cause she's still asleep
She woke me up at 2 am telling me it was time to go to the beach
Kicked her father out of the bed at 5 am
Woke me back up at 6am to ask me if I was done with my sandcastle
And is now still snoring
Went to a cafe that had something called "The Large Fruit Platter"
It was carnage
Broke out on to the balcony buck ass naked
Penny is about to have a full fledged little kid meltdown, she is warm, she is tired, she has skipped her nap and we've had to tell her she unfortunately can't go fishing today (we have no fishing poles- she's never been fishing in her life).
I can see the waterworks coming and sometimes you gotta feel the feelings so I just brace myself
As she takes in that first breath to scream, she stops and instead demon whispers "ITS THE MOON!!"
And now she's just, doing a weird little moon dance around the parking lot.
Kids are so amazing and strange.
Tried to fully crash a beach date twice husband finally had to haul her off still yapping to the poor couple who were fully dumbstruck that she has literally no apprehension about anything or anyone
Okay imagine my 34 pound tiny terror standing over this thing yelling DAS A GOOD BOY! Cause that's what was happening.
Waking up to our last day of vacation to Penny Yelling HEY DADA I FELL INTO DA TOILET was both jarring and hilarious
Took her to the Aquarium, she tried to become one with the manta rays. We sprinted the entire thing twice in an hour. She "wants to be a fish"
Tried to lick someone's dog back, caused a table of elderly folks to lose their minds
This is happening, the lore of this spirit is developing as we speak.
Girlfriend just passed right out no warning or nothing she's finally succumbed to the call of the sandman. What a vacation
Just the 5 hour trek home tomorrow people, we survived
Penny woke up at 5:45 am by jumping into our bed and chanting ONE MORE BEACH WALK ONE MORE BEACH WALK and who are we to deny her?
This has gotten even better.
Currently planning this years beach trip
We ARE taking grandparents this time as back up 😂
