I'm BAAAAAACK

WOW, what a week!! What did you guys do?

I tell ya, if you are ever stressed, a week at Grandma and Grandpas will do you wonders. So much went on since I last blogged at you that I am resorting to the old reporters cop-out...

The Notes Package

- Grandma and Grandpa went all out this time. No more Pack-n-Play homelessness for me, they got a crib from Auntie Audrey. No more squeezing into a bumpo for meals, I got to use Daddy's old high chair. And of course, there was the Jumperoo.

- We watched the Hawkeye football game on Saturday, but it was weird. I got all geared up and stuff, but things didn't seem quite right. We all knew the Hawkeyes were supposed to win, but the other team kept scoring points. Not only that, but they won the game. What a bunch of jerks.

- Grandpa Rich stayed home with me for a few days, so it was nice hanging with him. We don't always get to spend time together when Grandma is around, cuz she always wants to play with me. Can you really blame her? I thought about pushing out a blowout to see how he would handle it, but I figured I would save that for Daddy.

- I got to see my Great Grandparents, which was awesome. I went to Grandpa Don's house one day, and Grandpa Charlie and Grandma Lorna came down to watch me a couple days when Grandma and Grandpa had to work. Grandpa Charlie knows a lot of fun games.

- Speaking of Grandpa Charlie, I got to play with the car that he used to have at his house. He says Daddy used to ride it when he was little like me. In fact, he says everybody in the family has ridden it, but I am the first Great Grandchild to go for a spin.

- Yeah, I was kind of a celebrity again. A whole buncha people came over to the house to see me while I was there. Grandma even took me to the school where she worked, and everybody already knew my name before they even met me.

- Finally, I got into the car with Grandpa Rich and we drove to Des Moines and met Daddy. Then I got in the car with Daddy and drove back to Omaha. It was like a hostage transfer. On the way back we stopped at the hospital and saw Mommy at work. It was really good to see her.

- Even though I had a lot of fun last week, it was good to get back to my own crib, my Mommy and Daddy, and all my friends (well... Sophie). And to top it all off, Daddy got me a hat at the ballgame in Washington DC.

Claire,

We haven't met yet but I'm your big cuz Nicole. I kinda live in the area and would love to plan a roadtrip to come hang out with you sometime. But you should check with your parents first cause they are really busy people. Also, I just wanted to let you know what a huge fan I am of your blog. It's so refreshing to hear eloquent remarks of a pre-toddler. So many kids are already such contrite writers/ thinkers at that age. Yeesh.
Anyhoo, I enjoy hearing about your activities and can't wait to meet you. Maybe in October or January?
Bye!
