It runs in the family?

Remember a few posts back when I shared this photo...

 

I said, "I forgot what it was like to have a boy or better yet, a boy who climbs."

 

Mindy asked me to get out Tony's photos so she could display some of them at the wedding reception.

 

I found this...

 

 

Yes, that's Tony.  Yes, that is our fridge.  Yes, there is a belt around it.

 

We had to belt the fridge to keep Tony from opening it and feeding all the food inside to the dogs...

 

It worked! 

 

BUT it enabled him to climb up the fridge.  That's where I kept the really good stuff...

 

I wonder why I started to go gray so early...

Should I?

While compiling the photos for this blog post...

 

I realized it's about time spent with Locklan again...

 

But I DO spend as much time as his parents will give me...

 

From overnights, to afternoons...

 

From Tuesdays, holidays and just plain rainy days...

 

Every time I relinquish him to his parents, I tell them that this was the best day ever.

 

Andy called me on it once...

 

He said I ALWAYS say that...

 

But it always is! 

 

He changes every day, learns new things...

 

Oh and the imagination, the new words

 

Like Heptocopter (helicopter)...

 

 

 

He's such a tease...

 

 

But I'll admit, I love pajama time!

 

First he reads me a story...

 

 

 

 

Oh, I pointed out that the book was upside down

He looked down and said,

"Looks fine to me!"

 

 

Then I read to him...

 

 

And then...

 

 

The next day was really fun...

 

Uncle Tony stopped by on his way to the office...

 

 

Locklan loves to feed us plastic food and I don't know why the helmet...

 

After Uncle Tony left, we got out the Play-Doh!

 

 

 

We had to stay in our jammies because the frog...

 

 

The one with a squeaky voice and who lives on my top step...

 

 

Said we could not go upstairs and get dressed!

 

Now do you see why I keep going on and on and on about him?

 

So here's the question:

 

Should I change the name to Red Sock Grandma?
