Grandparents

Grandparents are great aren't they?  Joshua and Kayla especially have some pretty great ones.  Their Omah and Papa love on them,  play all kinds of games with them, babysit anytime for free, and they spoil this Mama.  They often offer to take Joshua for a whole entire day to give me a much needed break.  They would take Kayla too but I am not ready to let her miss that many nursing sessions just yet.   But still, having just one child is a piece.of.cake. 

I love these breaks.  It allows me to get some much needed chores done that otherwise would take me 5 times as long to accomplish,.  It also allows me to relax a bit which makes me a better, more patient Mom.  It is amazing how fast I can be at running errands with just one child in tow.  I also love seeing Joshua after spending hours away from him.  I end up missing him a lot!

Joshua has a blast at Omah and Papa's house.  He has special toys there, gets to drink all the peach water he wants, and Papa takes him to the swimming pool. 

Here are some pictures of the other fun things Joshua gets to do at Omah and Papa's house.

He gets to play in the water hose.

He gets his full serving of fruits and veggies with the yummy green smoothies Omah makes for him.  He LOVES these drinks.

He gets "healthy" homemade ice cream. 

 

Taste testing the smoothie. 

He gets to read books that were Daddy's when he was little.

 

He gets to have all the fun he wants with play dough. 

He eats his favorite meal...mac and cheese with green stuff mixed in.  And yes he really does like the green stuff.

 

See, I told you Joshua and Kayla have the best Omah and Papa in the world!  We are so blessed to live so close to them and that our kids are able to grow up spending such precious time with them.  It is a win win for all of us.
