New Wheels

Despite the gloomy weather and a baby Jack that was feeling a little under the weather, we had a great visit from Grammy and Grampa this weekend. They arrived just in time to help us celebrate Clay's birthday and Jack's early birthday. Both boys were thrilled to have the company for their special time of the year. Upon arriving, Grammy and Grampa showered Clay with his Birthday loot. It didn't take long for Jack to want in on the action, so he was was given one of his gifts too....a farm set complete with noise making animals. Later that evening, Grammy and Grampa were gracious enough to give Clay and I the night off for a little Daddy Birthday celebration. Saturday morning brought another Birthday present for Jack and, unfortunately, a fever too. In an effort to help the little guy feel better we put him inside of his new red wagon while Daddy and Grampa worked diligently to assemble it. Who new one wagon could have so many parts? They sure don't make things easy anymore. It was too bad that after completion, grey skies and rain prevented Jack from taking a cruise in his new set of wheels. It was probably all for the best anyway because he was still fighting a low grade fever. A whiny and tired Jack went to bed early in hopes of feeling better on Sunday morning. I'm sure he dreamed the night away thinking about cruising the neighborhood in his new red wagon. He even woke in the middle of night to tell us all about it or maybe it was to let us know he still wasn't feeling well! However, Sunday morning brought much better spirits and finally a ride in his Birthday present. I'm not fully convinced that he is feeling 100% again, but that ride sure did cheer him up. The whole family joined Jack in his neighborhood debut of his new wheels. He smiled, pointed, waved, and babbled on about how much he loved his new ride... much cooler than a stroller! He even let Cosby get in and take a spin. I have a feeling this is going to be Jack's number one mode of transportation from now on. Thank you Grammy and Grampa for a wonderful visit and Birthday celebration. Jack says he promises to feel better next time!
