gmom dino came to visit last weekend and we loved every second of it. I'm proud to say that big guy remembered her, called her gramma, and gave her all the love he could to make her feel extra guilty about moving so far away. Kidding, but he was very snuggly and loving the whole weekend. Proving that he really missed her as much as we did.
Friday was a chill afternoon, followed by a disastrous dinner at panera, in which big guy refused to eat or sit still. But this all made sense (if you read "trip to ER" post) since he was really not feeling well. But following our trip to the ER, we spent all of saturday just relaxing and getting back to normal. big guy refused to nap, of course, but I did get one in the afternoon. Only to be awoken by hubs and big guy to change a poopy diaper. Gmom Dino had gone to lunch with a friend, but was back when I got up. so, we took big guy in the stroller for a walk. We were going to go to the duck pond, but got sidetracked by the bookstore (where we got a new curious george book) and the toy store (where we got a little fire truck with extendable ladder). because in our house, when you are sick you get something to make you feel better.
We made it back home around 4:30 and were preparing to order some food for pick up when big guy climbed into dino's lap. He lifted up his shirt for some belly rubs, which dino obligingly gave and he was out within minutes. We spent the evening with a kid asleep on our laps (eating dinner, watching food network, and talking.) I have to say, it was heavenly! I nebbed the little man around 8:00, then we took him upstairs around 9:00 and all passed out until 6am! we definitely all needed the sleep.
Sunday we were in better spirits, so we headed down to Linvilla orchards to get some pumpkins. We stayed for about two hours. The worst part of the trip was getting trapped in a maze. It was extra pathetic because it was in the kid's playground zone and we were almost in tears about how to get out. but the best part was all the fun we had on the train and picking pumpkins! big guy loves pumpkins, he says, "puh-kins" And he really only likes the little pumpkins, gourds, and acorn squashes. Which he was thrilled to be able to call them acorns, since we pick them up on our walks.
After coming home and napping, we carved pumpkins outside before dinner. big guy and I made a traditional face. His managerial stylings came in handy when scooping out the insides. gmom dino made a thomas the train. which looks totally fabulous. and is recognizable enough that he yells "choo choo" when we visit it every afternoon. Overall, a great weekend!! we miss you :)
