My Week with Grandma

TJ was lucky enough to have Grandma come out and stay a whole week with him.  It had been the longest stretch since they had seen each other, and both were so excited to be reunited.

Grandma's carryon was stuffed with goodies for TJ.  He loved the stickers and cars from Pa, and the Jake & the Neverland Pirates toy from Aunt G.  His favorite was the 48-piece pirate puzzle from Ga.  He has been able to master the 24-piece puzzles by his third time doing it, so Grandma wanted to give him a little challenge.  It took him a few days, but after that, he was able to do the puzzle all by himself.  He's such a smartypants. :)

On Sunday, we did have to make our trip to Pier 39 so we could have lunch at Bubba Gump's.  It has become sort a tradition TJ has created.  He loves going there with Grandma and riding the carousel.  (The blue zebra, of course.)

In the middle of the week, Daddy took TJ & Grandma to the SF Zoo.  They all had a great time showing Grandma around their new favorite hangout place.

This visit was a little more mellow. TJ didn't want to do a whole lot, but stay at home and play  Grandma. And play they did. I think the two wore each other out!  TJ took a four-hour nap the day Grandma left.  We're already counting down the days 'til our trip to Colorado.  We're down to 18!

A few days after Grandma left, we finally made it out to our first Rockies game of the season.  Too bad we were surrounded by Giants fans, and too bad the Rockies are terrible, but we still had a wonderful time at AT&T Park.

The big news in our home this week: TJ is potty-trained!!!  He's being doing a really good job about it, but he was relying on his pull-ups when he wanted to be lazy.  The week he stayed home with Grandma, we kept him in undies most of the time, and when he went back to school last week, we committed to undies.  He had one little accident the entire week, and he's been accident-free for five days now!  Yipee!!!
