HERE YOU ARE THE DAY BEFORE THEY ARRIVED!
Name Changes:
We'll start this off with a little explanation. Gma and Papaw have been just that, "Gma and Papaw" since your cousin Ben was born (he's 7 now). You were good with Papaw, you've called him that since you starting talking, but Gma was a different story. You said it once or twice, but you just for what ever reason didn't want to make a habit of saying it. As you might imagine, Gma was NOT okay with you just not saying her name, so she suggested Gigi, and once you said it, you were good to go, So "Gigi" it was. But, sometime during this visit, you decided that "Papaw" should be changed to "Pepaw". The rest is history...
WATCHING SOME TV WITH GIGI
The Big Reveal:
We were so happy that Gigi and Pepaw would be visiting during our 16 week check up for mommy and the new baby. 16 weeks is the big one, when we find out the gender. So, me, you, daddy, gigi and pepaw all headed to the medical center for the appointment. You and your dad and I went in first and were told the big news, then you and daddy went out in the hall to bring gigi and pepaw in so they could see for themselves. They got to see your BABY SISTER on the ultra sound! Your dad was the most surprised, not only is he completely outnumbered, but i think he's already nervous about having to deal with the boys that come along when raising two beautiful daughters:)
The Museum:
We made a trip back to the Childrens Museum. This time it was less crowded, so you got to explore the "city" part of the museum. Your favorite was the grocery store, where you proceeded to fill then empty your bowl with every fake strawberry you could get your hands on! Then we had fun on the toddler floor where you spent plenty of time exploring.
Your Very Own Kitchen:
Everytime we visit gigi and pepaws house, or ben and sydney's house, you love playing with their kitchen sets. They're just your size and you love "mixing up" things in all the bowls with all the different utencils. Now, thanks to gigi and pepaw you have one in your room! You could spend hours in front of that thing. You'll grab anyone who's around and tell them to "sit down" in front of your kitchen to play. It is quite entertaining!
Treasure Chest:
By now, you are familiar with your treasure chest at gigi and pepaws. You know exatly where it is and love to see what's inside. Well, this time, they brought the treasure chest to you, well, sort of. Gigi sent down a big box the week before their visit ( i had to promise not to open it before they arrived). There were all sorts of goodies inside! toys, utencils for your kitchen, and your bumblee bee costume for halloween (more to come on that in the next post!)
The Best Part:
We always have fun with gigi and pepaw and for me to sit back and watch you bond with two of the most important people in my life is really something else. I thoroughly enjoy watching you fall in love with them. It sends happiness through my bones!
