Tonight before bed, Eli declared that it had been a happy day. I would have to agree with him!
Last night Grandma C came up to spend some time with Eli (probably her last visit with Eli as an only child), to give Tim a break since he's been taking care of me & Eli this week and to allow me to continue to rest and get better before 2.0 arrives.
Although he went to bed later than normal last night, Eli was still up before 6am. He did not want to go back to sleep so Grandma played with him while Tim & I just lazed in the bed. At 7am, we heard a loud "Daddy, where are you?". Then it was time for everyone to be up and have breakfast. After breakfast, the play-a-polooza with Grandma started and included inside and outside play - the swingset, water table, tee ball, bubbles, trains, you name it. Eli had a blast. They also took a mid day walk. Grandma tired Eli out so much that he took a 3+ hour nap!! During all this play time, I actually did a little sewing project (notice "little") converting two of Eli's pajama pants to shorts. Then I was able to run a few errands alone while Eli napped and Grandma held down the fort. After nap, snack time and more play. We were supposed to go see Noah today for a small birthday celebration but due to Mr. Naphead, we ended up not going. We're sorry Noah and hopefully we can see you next weekend.
Grandma is now on her way home after a great 24 hours with her Eli. Eli loves all the Grandma attention and Grandma sure loves her grandson. I was very happy that Eli was in a good mood and behaved well all day. Thanks Grandma for the help and break!! Of course, there are pictures....
