Great Grandparent's Weekend

Dear Riley,

This weekend we spent lots of time with your Great Grandparents. On Saturday we went to your Great Grandma and Grandpa Modlin's house. They have a big bucket of toys for you when you come over. But of course you always get distracted by their computer cords and their phone and anything else you shouldn't be touching :-) Grandma made tacos for dinner and you sat in a dinning room chair without a booster seat or anything, like a big boy! Then Grandma gave you some watermelon, which you love! After dinner you ran around and around their house trying to get them to chase you and then when they caught you you would laugh so hard and then take off again. You have so much energy we had to take turns chasing you! You wear us out! And then we told them how you always grab the remote for the tv and change the channel to the mexicana romance music channel and you dance to it for ever. So we had to demonstrate and Grandpa turned it to that channel for you and you ran to the tv and started dancing. You have really good rhythm bub :-) We love to watch you dance.



Today we went my grandma's house, your Great Grandma Karen. She has been letting us do our laundry at her house because our apartment doesn't have laundry facilities. She has a lot of dogs at her house and you like to chase them around with your toys trying to tickle them I think, you say digga digga digga when you do it. You always sweep when we go over there too. You played with the dogs, swept the living room, and climbed onto the lawn mower outside. Then she fed you a few marshmallows :-) After we did our laundry you were cranky so we came home so you could take a nap because you hate napping anywhere else. After your nap you and Daddy played with your big legos and cars while I finished my nap. When we ate dinner you kept trying to feed us your chicken. You are really good about sharing your food, not so much your toys haha. Then after dinner you sat on Daddy's lap while he played video games and laughed at his concentration faces :-) Then we did your bedtime routine. Daddy brushed your teeth and then I read you a book and rocked you in your room and sang you the song that I made up for you. Sometimes I brush your teeth and Daddy reads your book, but every night I sing you that song :-) And I wouldn't change that for anything in the world.

I love you, Mommy

P.S. This is the song:

Hush little Riley, don't say a word
Mommas gonna get you a big blue bird
And if that big blue bird flies away,
Mommas gonna get you a horse and hay
And if that horse and hay get wet,
Mommas gonna get you a brand new pet
And if that brand new pet bites you hard,
Mommas gonna play with you in the yard
And if playing in the yards no fun,
Mommas still gonna love her son.

I know its cheesy but you love when I sing it to you :-)
