WE went to World's of Fun on Saturday (John, Justine, Sammie, and myself. M was babysat by Jessica for the weekend.) And of course we a loads of fun. The morning started off cold and rainy, but warmed up and got sunny later. We were there from 12:30-ish until I think 6:00-ish. It was Great!! Then we went to Bob and Gail's house for Lindsays graduation. We met Gail's side of the family and it was a lot of fun. We learned how to play Mexican dominoes, ate lots of absolutely delicious food (including wonderful grilled burgers, and omlets for breakfast. At least, I had omelets for breakfast. Everybody else had pancakes, bob filled a special order for me! I LOVE his omelets!!), and had fun visiting. John has been smoke free for a week now! I'm keeping my fingers crossed, and hoping he will stick with it. Also his hernia surgery is on the 30th , this Friday. WE're a little anxious about that, but will be very glad for it to be taken care of. And his mom is coming to visit while he's off work (for his surgery he's taking a week off), so we're excited to see her. It's been a busy month for us, but definately fun and worth it.
Ok. So, we've talked to M about strangers a bit, telling her to be safe and what not. A couple of times she brings it up when we say no she can't do something and she says "because there are stangers?" or some such. We haven't talked about it recently, but apparently the message stuck: We were at Wal-Mart, had just finised checking out and J went to use the restroom and M wanted to get a drink from the water fountain -I was still a few steps behind, so M said "Mom will you come a little bit closer?" and I said yes, and she continued "because you wouldn't want a stranger to grab me." I smiled and said "No I wouldn't like that." And she said "You would say 'oh no! someone has taken my child!" At which point I couldn't help but laugh and tell her how much I loved her.
