In late September Lochlan had his weaning party and the next day he and I traveled down to Portland for a long weekend. The trip was similar in many respects to the trip Liam and I took to Portland for the same purpose three years ago--we stayed at the same hotel, we rode the same trains, went to the zoo, even went for a hike with Jen. However, my boys have very different personalities, and it was fascinating to observe these differences in an identical setting. We had a lot of fun, and the weather was fantastic. If we'd had a bit more time it would have been great to get out on the river, but we'll save that for next summer.
Lochlan did really well, not too much crying and he was a joy to be with the entire time. I'm hoping to continue the tradition of having entire weekends with each boy as they get older.
