Family Ties

Brent had a great visit with his grandparents over the weekend, who came to visit. He's been so clingy lately that I thought he would be more standoff-ish, but after a little break-in period he had a wonderful time. It had been a while since we had seen them, so I was proud that he did so well. He even kept on schedule and didn't get too cranky, which really surprised me!

Plus he got to play with their dogs, which was so cute to watch. They were all pretty small, and just his size. He would run down the hallway, and turn around to see if they were chasing him. If not, he would run back and try again. He was a little rough on them a time or two, but the dogs were wonderful with him. It makes me wish that ours were small enough to bring inside to play with him. The two smaller ones would be perfect, but are scared to death of baths. I'm not sure they would even enjoy themselves indoors. We found them by the road one day and it seems they have never really been indoor dogs. At least he can play outside with them this summer!

All in all, it was a great and relaxing weekend. My boy is quite the character these days. I could spend hours just watching his expressions and mannerisms. Yesterday we learned how to blow dandelion seeds across the yard. He loves doing that! And he caught on so quick (though he did try blowing on the yellow ones until he got it straight). I'm just amazed at how much fun, and fun-loving, he is. I hope it helps him to have a wonderful life. I know I am lucky to be a part of it.
