thankful. we are so incredibly thankful for you, little bear. every single minute of every single day. we are so grateful for you and what you bring to this world.

 

we are also so thankful that papaw got released from rehab so he could spend the day with us. you were so so excited to see him and mamaw. you have missed them so much while they have been at the hospital. you also got to see teddye and uncle shawn. you were happy to see them too :) we had a great day! we were sad that nana and pap were sick so we didnt get to run by there for dinner. after lunch you played outside (was pretty warm, in the 70's) and played on your jeep and had a first... playing in the leaves! you loved it!

 

 

 

 

a visit to see papaw

we headed up to papaw's rehab center while he recovers from his knee surgery. you haven't gone this long without seeing him in forever. you were so excited to see him and mamaw

looking at airplanes and clouds with mamaw

 

i love papaw's first reaction to seeing you. my how he has missed you, his little buddy.

you and your mamaw. she always calls you, "the bestest boy in the whole world" you get shy and smile :) my how she loves her great grandson. you are very lucky to have your papaw and mamaw in your life.

 

giving papaw a big kiss

then we headed home but you saw mcdonalds and begged to go. so we went. and ate inside. and daddy went up in the playground with you. you were the only boy with his dad up there. very lucky to have him do neat little things for you

potty time.

 

we headed out to see our papaw after his knee surgery. you were so excited to see him and your mamaw. you saw her and told her to rub your back. what she always does. we stayed for just a little bit because of all the wires and that doesn't mix well with a two year old.

 

 

after we saw them it was time..... to go big boy underwear shopping! (or as you call them underpants due to a favorite book of yours by dr seuss) you picked out disney and lego batman! and so it begins. our potty training weekend consisted of gatorade, pretzels, water, tootsie pops, m&m's, skittles, and starburst. and being locked in the house for three days. and tcby runs for extra encouragement. and you have done so well!

 

such a BIG boy! and you look so stinking cute in your big boy underpants ;)
