Busy Little Boy!!

Grayson has been so busy these days! Grandpa came over last weekend to bring over Easter Bunny Gifts (Grandma had been sick). Grayson wanted to show Grandpa his wrestling moves! He is all boy! He loves to pounce on you and say 'ugh' it is too cute. We have been outside a lot lately, which is nice! Back to running all over the yard and playing in the drive way. He loves to walk down to his friends, Palmer and Lilly.

We all went to a cookout at our friends and neighbors on Sunday. All the kids had a blast. Grayson loved Holly's play house! He didn't want to come out for even a second! Grayson's friend Peyton was there also! Last night, we met Grandpa and Grandma and Great Grandma for dinner! Our little social eater had a blast.

More fun today, Jack is coming over for a play date and lunch. Sounds like fun!!! It's great to be a kid!

Love that Easter Bunny!!

Grayson had a great Easter despite the fact he had gotten his first ear infection. That Bunny was very good to him. We stayed home on Sunday since Grayson wasn't feeling his best, we still had lots of fun and time spent with Daddy. Grayson played with his basket all morning long. Daddy even enjoyed Grayson's Easter toys. The night before, Grayson colored some eggs. He was a good helper. We hope our little one will be feeling his normal self soon!

Hope everyone had a very special Easter and remembered what it is all about and not that bunny! Sure is fun though!!!

Picking Flowers and Playing Ball

Grayson sure enjoyed the nice weather we had for a few weeks. Here are some photos of him playing and sharing the flowers he had picked!

We are so proud of Daddy!

Today was the VIP party for Marc's store which is set to open tomorrow, Monday, April 2nd. His store is just beautiful! Grayson was so excited to see Daddy. Grandpa and Grandma road with us and ate lunch also. Grayson hasn't seen Marc for a week!! By the time Marc gets home, Grayson is fast asleep. He did not want Marc to put him down. His face just lit up when he saw Marc. Grayson saw lots of his friends there, Jack, Holly and Palmer! He was just happy to be spending time with his hero... Daddy!!! Marc walked him all around. It was nice that Grandpa and Grandma could join us! They were a huge help!

We sure are excited about Marc's new journey! We have missed him greatly this past week but we know it will all be worth it! He sure is a hard worker!

New Found Freedom

Grayson sure is loving every minute of this wonderful weather we are having. As you can see Grayson loves swinging and playing and checking out his new sandles. Grayson enjoys the fresh air and sunshine even more now that he realizes he has a whole new world right outside his door that he can actually walk around. It seems strange to see our little baby boy running all over the yard. I had to pull out Grayson's new shorts on Sunday. I think our son is better dressed than we are these days, welcome to parenthood! Grayson has been in his wagon, walking up and down the driveway, over and over... walking along the sidewalks and visiting with neighbors, Holly and Palmer. He got out the Easter eggs today and strung those all over the porch.

This past weekend, Grandpa and Grandma came and met us for lunch. That was lots of fun. Sunday was family day with Daddy. We played outside a lot, went out for lunch and did a little shopping. Marc will be very busy these next few weeks, getting ready for the big opening downtown. Grayson enjoys pointing to all the cars and saying 'Ca, Ca' for car. He loves balloons these days also. He says, 'boon, boon' for balloon. He looks like a big boy, my baby has disappeared!

Love that Chilren's Museum

Well, Grayson and I had a wonderful time at the Children's Museum! The Clifford exhibit was really cute and lots of fun! Grayson played in Clifford's area for about 30 min. There were all sorts of fun things to do. Now that Grayson is bigger, he could play with much more compared to last time we were there. He loved Science works also. They have a new exhibit called, "Health House.' It had an actual kitchen made for the little ones so they could open everything and explore. Grayson was fascinated with the refrigerator,as you can see and the noodles. Grayson enjoyed riding the carousel. As a matter of fact, he cried when the ride was over! Pitiful! After about 2 hours we headed back home. We were exhausted from all the fun!

We are both recovering from a serious ick we had gotten. It was a nasty virus. I am hoping with as sick we have both been this past month, we will have super immunity by this time next year. It makes me not want to take him to places like the museum. I think it was too much of a hot zone for this time of year. At least we had a good time. Hopefully tomorrow we can enjoy the warm weather out side for a bit as long as we are both feeling better.

What a Day!!!

Grayson had a big day today! He went to play group and then to the mall with me to do some shopping and eat lunch. Afterwards, we played in the play area in the mall. All this play has worn us out, in a good way!!

Mom's Day Out sign-up was a success. I had no idea what I had gotten myself into. When I arrived, there were moms lined up around the building. One lady had been there since 7:00am. Wow!!! She was there for the pre-school program. I have to say, I feel very fortunate we were able to sign him up. Obliviously, this is a very competitive program!! I heard one mom say she had been trying to get in for 3 years! Grayson will attend on Fridays next school year for three hours! Once we are in the program, we don't have to go through that sign up again. He is automatically enrolled and any siblings he may have in the future! Thank goodness.

Grayson gave me his first real kiss last week. When I was leaving he leaned into me and pressed his lips against mine. Then, he did it 4 more times! My heart melted! The love we have for our children is truly amazing!We are keeping busy with play dates, parties etc. Tomorrow we are going to The Children's Museum. Can't wait!! Friday, our friend Holly is having her birthday party. She will be 3. What fun!!

I just want to read!

Here is Grayson enjoying one of his favorite hobbies...reading. He is our little scholar! His wellness visit went as good as can be expected under the circumstances. At least he only got 2 shots. On a brighter note, Grayson has went from the 25% to the 50%... Yea!!! 'Clap for Grayson.' He weighs 24 lbs. He is catching up for being such a small guy.

He had a fever on Friday all the way to 102. It was awful! He was so pathetic! His virus has since, traveled to his belly. He had to return to the doctor's office today. He was not happy about that! They wanted to check him out. Hopefully he will get over this soon so he can go to his play date on Thursday!

Grayson got his Easter outfit today. He loves shopping, thank goodness! Can't wait to see him in his outfit! Tomorrow is a huge day for us all. I am signing Grayson up for a 'Mom's Day Out' program at the Methodist church by us! I have heard wonderful things about their program. He will go once a week for 3 hours next school year. I think he will really enjoy the program and benefit from it. It will break my heart though to drop him off. Probably more mine than his!
