Holidays with A Toddler … The Dream vs the Reality

“He’ll get to try lots of different foods as it’s all prepared” … He opts for a bowl of olives. Every. Damn. Time. 

  

“He’ll relax nice at the pool … Surely he could do with kicking back and chilling” … Yeh right, he prefers to have us running around like headless chickens as he threatens to jump in to the deep pool flashing us a cheeky grin

  

“His early morning starts will work well on holiday” … Most days he woke up past 10.30am and we just about made it down for breakfast! 
 
“We can get some poolside down time while he naps” … Nap? What nap?!

  

“We’ll get to have lovely family dinners” … He would prefer to hang out with the waitress 

  

“He’ll eat lots of fresh fruit for snacks” … An ice lolly (or two!) all the way 

  

“He’ll love the play zone at the local soft play centre” … Escalators all the way!

“We’ll get to lounge in bed and watch movies” … He spent the whole time by the phone calling whichever short dial he could or dancing to the answer phone tone 

“It’s a great chance to get fab family photos” … After a million takes and there’s STILL one person that isn’t looking at the camera!

  

“We’ll get to use all the amazing facilities at the hotel for kids” … No thanks, pool please. 

  

“We’ll get him used to the high chair at restaurants again” … Depending on his mood

  

“He’ll love the play zone at the local soft play centre” … Escalators all the way!

“It’s a great time to take a break from social media” … Yeh right, he does way too much cute stuff to not share right now #BloggerLife

“He’ll love playing in the sand at the beach!” … As long as he’s not sitting on it
