Those are my favorites...

Tonight we went to Gramma's house. Well, it didn't start out that way. First, we went to the park for about an hour and went up the stairs and down the slides (about a million times...hopefully this will count as some activity points for me). Then, we went for yogurt (don't worry, sugar-free/fat-free...it's like eating flavored ice). While we were eating our yogurt (and Grant eating his "Nem N Nems"), Grant says he needs to go see Gramma. I asked him why he "needed" to see Gramma...he says, "To see these toys." Oh, good enough for me.

So, we call Gramma and make sure that she is home. She is. She is excited to hear from us (and Grant "needed" to see his Gramma...it had been two whole days). So, we go over. We stay for dinner (with little convincing). Grant helped fix salad and rice pilaf. Gramma always lets him help her cook. He had several "Nem N Nems" and played with "these toys."

During dinner, Grant tried something that I had never seen him eat. He decided that this was his favorite. I was happy to see that he liked the "trees." We all were cheering him on. However, I do believe there might be a close second with these (especially on top of this).

Lickin' the Whisk

Tonight Grant and I made pudding...guess what kind! :)

I Big Boy Now!

My sweet husband took my son out for some errand-running today. Scott asked for some tasks, so I sent him off to about six different stores to return merchandise we had purchased at Christmas and never needed (extra gifts). Scott is getting Grant "out of my hair," so I can work on these two, new subjects I am going to start teaching in one week!!! I am totally excited. I was finishing off the Economics syllabus when the phone rang...guess who?
"Hello," I said.
"Mommy, I big boy now," Grant stated with pride and excitement.
I asked him, "What makes you a big boy?"
"I go peepee like Daddy."
"You went peepee standing up, like Daddy?"
"Yes, I stand up and go peepee."

Now, I must admit, I am really proud of my little guy. He went potty standing up. He did this a couple of weeks ago with the crew at Disneyland. We (Gramma, Aunt Kris, Lisa, and me) helped him (in the family restroom...that's how we all fit) go potty standing up. We all clapped and cheered him on, but then no mention of it until today! He had done it again. This is cool. I'll see if I can find the picture of all of us in the restroom together. We were laughing hysterically that I had my camera for the event! Hey, that's what senior yearbooks are for...right?

Hey Sarah!! Long time, no see

Well, finally we got together with Sarah. It was fun! We went to a Mexican restaurant and then for dessert...McDonald's Playland. What is better to a two-year old then an ice cream and McDonald's Playland....well, as you can see a Cherry Dum-Dum sucker. Look at those tonsils.

What American City Are You?

You Are Austin

A little bit country, a little bit rock and roll. You're totally weird and very proud of it. Artistic and freaky, you still seem to fit in... in your own strange way. Famous Austin residents: Lance Armstrong, Sandra Bullock, Andy Roddick
