Last couple of Saturdays

We went to the store today and talked about green and red apples and asparagus. Griffin helped me bag 1-2-3 jalapenos ah ah ah just like the Count and put the bag in the cart. He said hi to the check out person and asked him “whatchya doing?”multiple times. He is a talker when we are out. Always saying hi to people and we make sure he says please and thank you.

We went to the park tonight and he showed us how big he was by going down the largest slide there. We took turns pushing him on the swing and would tickle him when he sung near us. He laughed for 10 minutes like that.

We talked about the very warm sunset today and he repeated purple and orange and Griffin said the sky was blue. He was very happy to hear that we would be seeing mommy soon and dinner would be waiting. When we got home, he saw the Subaru said “Mommy’s car.”

I got Griffin 2 oversize sponge paddles with 2 sponge tennis balls. I was told to get a balloon for him to bounce on the paddles. We had lots of fun last night swinging at the balloon and chasing it across the yard. Griffin got mad this morning that I wouldn’t let him throw a balloon in a steep area of our yard so he said bye and grabbed his ball and tried to walk in the house. I’m afraid this is going to be a very disturbing trend.

We had 13 kids over last weekend all under the age of 5. The house wasn’t destroyed. We made a fire and roasted marshmallows. He had his first one on a stick. He didn’t want it at first but after watching Dad eat one he decided to try it. He wasn’t disappointed.
