Grandma Sue Brings the Florida Sunshine, Part I

Hi all, sorry about the delay on the updates! The good news is that I’m starting all kinds of fun stuff, more info to follow…

So at first we figured that Grandma Sue couldn’t have picked a worse week to visit, when Ian started throwing up all over the place. He was still very good, almost casual, about it, however, so it wasn’t too bad. It also wasn’t very long before he was healthy and in fine spirits. On top of this the sun came out and stayed out for the majority of her visit, and it warmed up very nice.

Without further ado, here’s how it went!

Ian, Ma and Da all look up Gma Sue’s flight itinerary on their laptops. “Yup, she’ll be here soon!” When she got into town, I took her to pick up Ian… he was very excited to see us! Ian and Ma and I had rehearsed the word “Sue” before her arrival, but we weren’t sure how it would stick. Well a few moments after we were hanging out, Ian suddenly seemed to put it all together. “SOO!” See this image larger.

The 12th of October, still not feeling great at this point, Ian and Da consider something on the television. The thinker, and thinker jr., I guess! A funny moment — Ian whined until Gramma Sue handed over the television remote, and Ian matter-of-factly put it where it belonged… in Da’s lap. See this image larger.

Later that day he was ready for some fresh air. Here Ian explains where thar be treasure. See this image larger.

Ian shows me how to use the wagon appropriately. See this image larger.

“Add a 1/4 garden shovel of cocoa and stir vigorously.” See this image larger.

We aren’t the kind of people to put our kid on a leash. Apparently we reserve that honor for our cat only. Here Ian takes off like a shot, putter and wedge in tow. See this image larger.

“Ah you’ve brought me my drink, this cruise ship has all the amenities!” See this image larger.

A brief pause for a picture moment. See this image larger.

He’s pointing at a plane and saying the word “plane” here. See this image larger.

Peek-a-boo! What else has this kid said? Cow, moo, car, meow, dog, bark, plane, sheep, bah, Barb, Chris, e-i-e-i-o, moo, bird, and borrowing from his parent’s political agenda – clapped his hands… “O-ba-ma.” See this image larger.
