What a bad blogger mommy...I haven't been on to update anything in a bit, and I guess time hasn't been completely on my side. I'm here now though, and here's our latest...
Last week we took a quick road trip to Detroit Lakes - sadly though, for Russ's grandma's funeral. She lived a long and healthy 95 years, though, and we enjoyed being with family. Grayson went down his first water slide, and after the first unsure ride with Daddy, he was hooked. It was fun to watch and hear him yell in excitement. We survived the car ride, though, and Grandpa Bob and Grandma Joyce were quite the troopers to put up with a toddler's demands.
Over the weekend, we spent some great time outside, and we went on a quest for a bike trailer - WOW - what a journey, and an expensive one as well. Our contemplation continues (thanks for the advice, Horwath fam), and we'll have one soon, I'm sure.
Lately, I find myself eager for spring, and looking at things in a new light. When we enter a new place or play at home, I now do the "toddler assessment" - 2 questions:
1. How many ways can Grayson injure himself in the room?
2. What things can he throw, break, or scatter?
It amazes us just how much he's turning into a little boy- in fact, while on a walk with our friend Emily, her 2 yr. old, and her 1 mo. old, we talked about how Grayson is always in motion, and that Maddie wasn't such a maniac - oh, the actions of a boy! We've now become accustomed to the bumps and bruises of life also - I now look for blood or head trauma, and if there isn't any, we're OK. Also, our meal times are quite the stressors - he is becoming an independent kid, and we just have to sit back and watch the food and utensils fly as he learns. I know, enjoy it?!? He is quite the cutie though, as you can tell from the first pic. That "angelic" smile can turn me from mad to glad in a flash.
