Sunday with Grayson

Gray spent the day with us today while his mommy, daddy, brothers and sister went to do a special activity out of town. I am sure his mommy will be sharing the excitement of their day with everyone.
Let me just say that having one on one time with my grandchildren is a very special time. Gray went with me grocery shopping and was a perfect little angel. I told him he could pick out a toy for doing so well with potty training, so he spotted the perfect toy that he is holding. It does take batteries, but no problem. We have a cabinet full of batteries. I just hope that this growl and roaring doesn't drive his parents crazy. I told him he could pick out a treat, so he picked gummy fish.... I think he ate too many while I was preparing lunch cause he didn't have much of an appetite for healthy food. I had the best time with him playing connect four. Remember this little game? It doesn't require a battery, or a joy stick. It is a simple little game that he simply loved and even though he wasn't following the rules, he thought he won every game. We didn't have the t.v. on today. We played imaginary games and just had simple fun.
Gray does enjoy cooking. Here he is making scrambled eggs. I save my egg cartons and put plastic easter eggs in the carton and the kids love it. They put the whole egg carton in the stove. Don't try this at home! I had a fabulous weekend. I hope you did as well!

Awww... sounds like you had a really good weekend with your grandbabies :). He looks so proud with his dinosaur too. WTG Gray on the potty training.

I agree that one-on-one time is like a whole miracle of time. Especially with Steph and Audrey... with their four!!!! (note: 4 exclamation points!!!!)

Your day sounded heavenly. And yes, I DO remember Connect 4. Even if the kids don't get the whole idea of the game, the sounds and colors of plopping in the checkers are the most fun anyway! And I'm sure the dinosaur will drive everyone crazy!... but you know what? That's OK too!

It was wonderful to hear of your special day with Grayson!
