Dresser Drop-Off

Gpa Dave re-finished a dresser/chest that he had when he was a kid… it was also something I grew up with on the weekends at the cottage. He dropped it off on the 10th of September. We also decided to surprise Ian by having both of us pick him up instead of just me. I was pretty much chopped-liver the moment he saw Gpa Dave, and that lasted throughout the evening. I’ll get a picture of Ian and the chest shortly, but for now here’s pics from that day.

This was par the course for the visit. He wanted Gpa Dave to pick him up or be holding him. See this image larger.

When Grampa went out to the truck to get something, Ian had to choose between keeping an eye on the TV and watching where Gpa Dave was headed. This was his middle-of-the-road solution. (Something about the way the carpet matches Ian’s pants, and the wall color matches Ian’s shirt makes this an interesting shot to me.) See this image larger.

“You’re not leaving yet, right?” I think the best part of the visit was Ian’s big smile and speaking the word “cookie” when one was offered to him. See this image larger.

They were making something at daycare that required flour and water to be mixed together… I think Ian ended up using some as mousse. He kinda looks like Kramer from Seinfeld here. See this image larger.

Another shot of the rooster-do. Thanks again for re-finishing and bringing that out, Gpa Dave! (And sorry Ian shared his cold with you yet again… Melissa and I are currently sniffling around the house as well. 🙁 ) See this image larger.

The next day, Melissa went to daycare to pick Ian up and found him waiting by the door with his coat and hat on. Was he hoping for another surprise pick-up? Who can say?
