My oldest daughter spent the night with me to help take care of my grandson. She is special needs and hasn't really done much with him and is a bit scared to touch him, to be honest. She wanted to spend time with me so she came over on fathers day and we went shopping and made my husband a wonderful meal that my son mostly cooked as his gift to him.
We all had a wonderful time working together to get this meal done and Martin enjoyed it immensely. Darcy helped me take care of Kristian the next day holding him a few times to allow me to do something else. She had fun making faces at him which makes him laugh in such a cute way.
We all, (Darcy, Tristan and I) decided to go to the park and have a picnic. We grabbed McDonald's dollar menu burgers and went to sit on the grass and eat them. Have a fun picture we managed to take with a bit of juggling with the phone to make sure everyone was in it.
Kristian loved looking up at the trees moving overhead.
We also put him in the stroller and walked a bit allowing Tristan to go play on the jungle gym. We were all hot and tired by the end of the day but it was worth it to get to spend time with my family and be productive for a change.
When Lydia got home from work Kristian was a bit fussy and worn out so we tried to get him set up so he could look at everything like he enjoys doing.
He is more happy being set up on the knee so he can look around. Kristian is very interested in seeing everything and loves to coo and "talk" now. Unfortunately he is also drooling up a storm so a snugly (burp cloth) is required at all times. Of cource grandma loves dressing him up in "appropriate" clothes....
He's such a cutie!
Was such a great day and I'm very grateful that my body allowed me to participate. I did end with some rather bad pain by the end of the day but let me tell you, it was WORTH it! :)
