Mother’s Day Weekend
Whew what a weekend it was!!
Friday Teri and the girls came over for the day. We went to a really cool park in Highland Village called Kids Kastle. We had a picnic there and fed the ducks. Abigail took us all down many slides. Then, after everyone took a good nap we went to our favorite ice cream store, Paciugo Italian Gelato. It is very yummy!
Abigail had her 4th birthday party on Saturday so we spend the day at her house and had a great time. She got a swing set for her birthday and Garrett enjoyed swinging and going down the slide. Wee! Oh, he also liked the cake and ice cream and the pizza. He was very busy but Meema got in a few squeezes. By the end of the day we had a very tired little man.
Sunday, being Mother’s day and all Branden left for a business trip. He made me breakfast and gave me my gift. Branden and Garrett gave me a gift certificate for a spa package which I look forward to using. Garrett and I dropped Branden off at the airport and we were off to the Keck’s house once again. We had fajitas and enchiladas from On the Border. Garrett and I went to Nono and Pop’s house to spend the rest of the day. I did not plan on having dinner there but I am glad that we did. From Garrett’s reaction when Nono tried to put him in his car seat he had a great time and did not want to leave. He started crying very hard and saying, ‘Nono, Nono’ and he had a death grip on her shirt. He put his head on her shoulder and did not want me. Finally, I got him away from her and in his seat, he calmed down and we were on our way back home.
We did find out that Garrett does not like to crawl in the grass. So he would pull up on us and walk both holding on to our hands and a few steps without. He is getting very good at his balance. This week he is walking more and more and he is building his courage. We went to Toys r Us today after Kindermusik and he used a gift card that he got for his birthday and bought a walker that he can push. He loves it!! I have posted a few videos of him cruising around upstairs. The only thing that I don’t like about it is that he can not pull up on it, as you will see from the videos. He is also walking around just holding on to one of my fingers. It is very sweet. He has a lot of things to show his Daddy when he gets home.
We had our last Kindermusik class today. Garrett enjoyed the class and I am sure that we will enroll again. I think we are going to take the summer off. I do need to enroll him in swimming lessons.
Check out the new pictures and videos. It may take awhile for the videos to download but just wait for it, it will come up. Enjoy!
