Out here in Paradise Papaya and I are doing great. Of course, all the time we’ve spend traveling then adjusting left my blog quite empty. But, never fear, we are back online!!!!
The flight over was great, I used my Mom’s miles to upgrade to first class and it was worth it! I had room to nurse Papaya, ate great food and had friendly neighbors. I think not sitting in each other’s laps as I usually do in coach made the difference in people’s friendliness. One older couple who were traveling to visit thier son on his very first port call, in Guam, really enjoyed Papaya. They asked to hold her and would walk her around showing her all the neat things to see. It was nice to have a break to go to the restroom by mysel!
Of course, I caught a cold on the plane. It was not an awful one, but it is the first time I’ve been sick as a Mom. No time to sleep the day away and get better, there was a princess to attend to. In addition, my coughing and sneezing scared her when she was nursing so it took a bit for her to latch back on. Luckily, in my opinion due to the breastmilk, Papaya did not get sick at all. The same can’t be said for my Mom who took the cold right off my hands and then suffered it herself.
Once we were all better we started to really enjoy our time together. We gave Papaya her first non-breastmilk food…..PAPAYA! She thought it was interesting but did not know what to make of that new taste, or the fact that food was in her mouth without a boob. We then started rice cereal with breastmilk, but she got a diaper rash so we are taking a week off then trying again. I’m hoping it is coincidence and not an allergy.
Since she’s been here she’s met;
Grandpa and Tutu of course…who love her BUNCHES!
Great Uncle Sherman and Great Aunt Elaine who live in Kamuela but were on Oahu passing through.
Uncle Pono who likes her but is a bit freaked out by to much crying.
Her Great Great Grandmother - Tutu Warner! They spent a lot of time smiling at one another!
Great Uncle Benny, Great Aunt Christine, Uncle Christopher & Uncle John
Adventure Dad’ ex-CoWorker Dave Adams, his wife Sandy, daughter Kathy & sons DJ & Zach.
Adventure Dad’ ex-Coworker Eric Eck and his girlfriend.
Papaya Mom’s long lost friend Angela who we ran into at the NEX and spent hours catching up with!

Sometimes when I am with Papaya I wish I could freeze time and take a moment to write a poem about her.
