Grandpa and Grandma came for a long overdue trip. And we had such a fun time with them. It was hard to see them go. We sure did keep busy with frequent visits to my sister’s place, the birthday, the swing set and a few other things around the house, but we enjoyed their company. It was so nice to have some extra hands around the house. Maya was always in someone’s lap. Grandma helped with baths and Grandpa loved to feed Maya. Grandma came with me to one of Jayden’s birthday parties and to Maya’s 1 year well visit. My dad helped my husband with the swing set and some irrigation work that needed to be done as a result of the screen room installation. He came with me to pick out the ceiling fan and the carpet for my screen room and he installed some lighting for me in my kitchen. It was so awesome having them around.
Jayden caught on to saying grandma and grandpa and it was just so cute to watch him. He would get into trouble and call out “Grandma”. Or if she wasn’t around, he’d say “Grandpa”. Now they are gone and he asks about them all the time. Where’s Grandpa? Where’s Grandma? Grandpa’s working? Grandpa’s coming soon? One day, he took me by the hand and led me to our spare room. “Open the door.” I wondered why. Maybe he wanted to color. When I opened the door, he looked at me and says “Where’s Grandpa?” Awww. I was so sad for him. If he sees anyone in public that’s a grandparent type, he’ll actually say hi grandma or hi grandpa. Luckily most people laugh. “Look, there’s Grandma. Hi Grandma!” he yelled this morning to the lady who was out walking her dogs. It would be so nice to have them closer. Visits are so nice, but saying good bye is so hard. Luckily my sister popped in on us to see them off and hung out with me after they left.
