The things kids say . . .

I had the pleasure to spend some time on Monday with WP. His dad was called back to work so I was able to assist him. WP went home with me and as the time grew later and later he had to spend the night. He was ready to go to sleep, but I was. He wanted to watch television. I wanted to sleep, so I stayed in my room and began dozing off, and he went into the living room. All of a sudden he ran back to my room saying, "grandma, grandma I used my senses." I replied "your senses." He said "yes!" I got up and went into the living room, of course the room was dark but he had made his way in the dark and located the remote to turn on the television. We watched a little bit of his show and then off to bed we went, but before we went he had to turn off the television. In order to do this he had to cut the lights on because the room was too dark, so I said to him "use your senses to find the light switch."

Great time at the party.

Today was a GREAT day for KZ and WP. We went to JG's birthday party. JG turned one. WP and KZ had a good time. They both liked the DJ, lights, playing with the other children and dancing. The food was good too.

Spending time . . .

I had a great Saturday. First, I took WP to Tae Kwondo. I think he's getting better at listening and following directions. This is my second time taking him to class, but I feel like I'm distracting him. He likes to look at me while he's practicing. He has to work on that. His mom picked him up from class. He had a play date with two of his classmates.
Later that evening I had a visit from TZ (my daughter) and my two KZs. TZ and I  spent time talking while  KZ and I played several games. We managed to play short games because he wanted to do something else before the game was over. We also watched his favorite video Land Before Time. Our newest addition; KZ2, slept, ate, and got restless as it got darker. He's gotten so round and full. I think KZ2 looks more like his dad, but only time will tell. Their features change so quickly.

Finding time . . .

KZ and haven't had our special moments together, so I have to make sure I set aside time for him. Time is so important and it flies by so fast.

Preschool . . .

KZ is a big brother now and he's ready for preschool. Yes, it's time to move from babysitter to school. He's definitely ready.

Blame it on Rio . . .

WP and I went to the movies on Saturday, and what did we see? Yes, Rio! Boy did we have a GREAT time laughing. It was a good belly laughing movie. Rio made me want to go to Rio. WP decided he wanted to go too.

The phone call . . .

This is the second weekend that I've received a call from WP asking if he could spend a night with me. I feel so special when he does this, and of course I say yes. I picked him up Friday after work. As we traveled to my house I asked him what he wanted for dinner. His reply was "I want a meal" so I said, "chicken, broccoli, and salad, does that sound good."
"Yes" WP replied. So we stopped at Stop and Shop and bought some things and went home to prepare dinner. While I was preparing dinner WP played with his toys and then he wanted to play chess. I couldn't remember how to play because I really never learned the game. But he and I attempted to play chess and of course he made up the rules. Dinner was ready so he and I ate and talked about what I had planned for Saturday. After dinner he read his book to me and then it was bath time. He has 5 minutes to play with his toys in the tub, and then lotion, pjs and straight to bed; prayers, a song and lights out.
