We decided to stay a little longer in Indiana. The reception we were going to attend on Saturday was postponed, and Daddy is studying for a test tomorrow. So we stayed until this morning and arrived home around 1:00 today. It was nice to have some extra time to relax and hang out with Gram & Grandpa, Travis & Erin, even though Grandpa gave us all a big scare yesterday. He was having some strange symptoms, which we all thought could quite possibly be stroke-related. So, he spent the day at the hospital along with Gram and Travis, having all kinds of testing done. We are very thankful he did not have a stroke, and are praying that he will quickly be relieved of the symptoms of Bells Palsy that are making him quite uncomfortable!
All week the kids rode the big wheel and bike several times a day. If it was cold and/or wet outside, they rode in the garage. If all three of them were playing, one would have to wait their turn and play with the little broom in the meantime.
Sylvia: Look Mama, no hands!
Sometimes the kids didn't do so well with sharing/waiting for their turn. Once on Friday, Sylvia announced she was going out to ride the bigwheel. She put on her shoes and coat, and a few seconds later Caeden followed suit. Next thing I knew, I heard him screaming, "Get off! You get off! Get off! Get off!..." When I opened the garage door to make him stop, he told me Sylvia hit him. So, I made them both come in, take off their shoes and coats, and sit in the chair with their arms around each other for 5 minutes. They decided they did, in fact, love each other, and could work out a way to share and wait their turn.
Yesterday, Caeden and Gram were putting together a puzzle of the USA. Caeden picked up the piece of Florida and told Gram, "This one is a pewer!" (Or maybe that's spelled pyoo-er? Yeah, that looks better.) She asked him to explain what a pyoo-er is, and he held the puzzle piece like a gun, pretended to shoot it, and said, "Pyoo! Pyoo!"
Last night the little broom was a pyoo-er.
Yesterday morning the kids "helped" Gram bake oatmeal scotchies! Mmm!
Aunt Erin helped Caeden put together his Tootle puzzle--again.
Even thought the weather wasn't (and still isn't!) very springy, we had a great time over spring break. Thanks Gram & Krampa, for letting us stay, and to everyone we got to visit with!
