Having my husband's family in town was a lot of fun. They arrived late on Friday night. When O and I came downstairs in the morning, grandma, grandpa and uncle (14 years old) were there. O came around the stairs the opposite way into the kitchen and then saw gpa sitting on the recliner. O was definitely shy at first, but warmed up pretty quickly, especially once we got our breakfast. At dinner on Saturday night was the first time that O said "uncle Austin" - I guess he doesn't want to say things that don't make sense at the time as we had been trying to get him to say it before. That gives me more hope that we'll get more names down when we are back in NE in July.
B, gma, gpa, and uncle went to King's Island on Monday while O was at daycare and I was working...hard of course... they seemed to have fun and I hope to go one day - just didn't think it would be much fun with such a little one and how cranky he, and the rest of us, would be by the end of the day.
Gma, gpa, and uncle did some sightseeing while we were working on Tuesday and then O stayed home with them on Wednesday. On Thursday morning, I was trying to get O to give hugs bye since they were leaving early, but he cried and said "no bye" - breaks your heart, doesn't it? He acted pretty good yesterday. When I picked him up at daycare he said "grandma??" and I told him that they had gone bye-bye. He sadly said "bye-bye?" and I told him yes. He then said "ok". We'll see what happens today when I pick him up!
Quinnie's Birthday Countdown!
