I was a little confused when we went to the airport on Thursday morning and instead of Lovie getting out of the car and saying goodby... you two got out of the car...then instead of unbuckling me to go along with you - you what? hugged me and kissed me goodby!!!!
Well...I sucked on my pacifier for a minute and then thought about it and I guess it's okay if you want to go away on a "special" weekend to celebrate Daddy's 30th birthday. Even though it isn't Daddy's birthday yet. But that's okay cause all the way home Lovie told me all she was going to do with me to make this a special weekend so frankly I think being home "alone" with Lovie is a whole lot better than going out to that California place and eating at restaurants and walking along a beach where the water isn't even warm. Plus she told me Cookie is flying in tomorrow!
We went home and after naptime - we had a yummy lunch of grilled cheese and then went outside and played ball with Ruby. We also took a walk to the duck pond and you know how I love that. I waved frantically at Hudson's house when we walked past but there was no sign of my good buddy!
The next day Lovie bundled me up in a hoodie and took me to the grocery store. I introduced everyone there to my Lovie and was very helpful taking things from Lovie and putting them in the shopping cart.
And then we went home for a nap and a lot of playtime! I read to Lovie from my new book about Handy Manny. I played and played and played with my jack-in-the box that my Uncle Adam's girlfriend Megan gave me for my birthday. I played hide-n-seek and catch with lots of different balls and then I helped clean up the kitchen by taking things out of my special drawer...and I practiced my piano!
But just in case you think I was always my sweet adorable little self....I want you to know that there was one time that I got really mad at Lovie because she wouldn't let me have the cookie cutters just cause she thought they might be ssomething called "sharp"!
I forgave Lovie and then we went to the airport to pick up Cookie!
Cookie loves to see me at the airport!
While you were gone, Ruby was pretty good but she pouted a bit under my chair when I wouldn't share any of my yummy food. I was a very good eater for Lovie & Cookie. They praise me a lot!
I helped a lot around the house too....I looked for cobwebs on the ceiling but didn't find any. I helped with the laundry too! And as usual I loved my bathtime and even helped put up the toys after I splashed as much of the water onto the floor as possible!
The next morning after my nap, Cookie and Lovie surprised me and took me to Odessa to a traveling petting zoo. We saw camels, tigers and monkeys but they were in tiny cages and didn't look very happy. However I did love the llamas "in pajamas" according to Cookie....and the goats which worried me a bit because they acted like they wanted to nibble me! My favorite part was the pony ride though. I was waving to everyone and trying to pet the horsie and really really loved riding!
When it was time to go eat lunch, I wasn't very happy about leaving the pony...but I obeyed.
I was too tired to last long in the restaurant so we went home after I ate and then all three of us took a nap. Cookie slept outside on the hammock but he made me go to my crib.
We played some more after our naps and of course took a long walk...fed some more ducks. And I tried to get Ruby to play ball with me. I also tried to bat the ball when Lovie threw it to me!
That night my other grandparents, Honey & G-Dad, came over to visit so I joined them in the living room for dinner. I am one lucky little boy to have all four of my grandparents love on me so much!
My Lovie said I had something called "cheek droppage" so she gave me a fast bath and rocked me - I was very tired and I think I might have been asleep before she put me in the crib! Sometimes that happens with my Lovie!
The next morning, we decided to not go to church because I had a bad cough and didn't want to give that to any of my friends in the nursery. So Cookie and I made what he makes best - Cookies! And then we watched a little football on tv before he had to drive back to the airport.
I gave my Cookie a big kiss goodby....Lovie got one too the next day (but there wasn't anyone to take that picture) and Lovie always cries a little too even though she knows she will see me again in about three weeks!
So Mommy and Daddy if you ever want to leave me home "alone" again, I just want you to know that it is okay with me as long as you leave me with my Lovie and Cookie. They minded all your rules and seem to be very happy taking care of their little grandson!
Love, Will
