Friday with the Boys

Today Logan came in his 'jammies straight from bed. I love the warm, wet, sweet little guy all bundled in his jacket, scarf, mittens and hat. He's always so excited to be here, and I love dressing him and making his breakfast. Blueberries and bananas along with the Cherrios today! He's trying new words....Beebee, Shoe, Poppa, Toe...it won't be long until he has a language explosion.

Gus came at 9:00. Jenn had to take Louise to the ENT doctor to have her ears checked again. I think it's so much fun when the two cousins spend time together. Gus gets to be the "big guy", and Logan has a chance to learn how to play together and to use some of the big boy toys. They're really funny when they interact. Gus is never quite sure what Logan is going to do...and Logan is often not really careful.
They had their morning snack at the little table "Poppa" made. We moved it to the kitchen so I could keep a better eye on them while I tried to get a head start on lunch. They were so cute eating their raisins and Clementines, drinking apple juice in sippy cups!

Then it was time for serious playing. I was even lucky enough to be invited to a concert on the wooden drum instrument. "Gwamma, we'll play a concert for you!!" said Gus. He was pretty intent...Logan was for awhile, too...but this stick thing works great for all kinds of places....oh...the legos, the hutch, oooo--nooooo...not Gus' head!!! Back to the music and dancing. We put on the CD's and did the hokey pokey
Jenn came back with Carl and Louise. She'll need to have tubes put in her ears in March. We'll get through this too. Lunchtime..sloppy joes, oven frenchfries, carrots. Where did their appetites go? It's just too exciting to have cousins together, and play with the toys at Grandma's house. A few rounds of "Buck Buck Chicken" and now the new variation for Carl.."find the Blue Footed Booby" (yes, that's really the species of this bird!)

Jenn's three were packed up for home...Logan could barely keep his eyes open when he got down for his nap. Up in time for Daddy to come at 3:00. Another exciting and wonderful Friday at Grandma's house!!
