Oh my Grayson and his tree obsession. Today at church we made it most of the way through sacrament meeting, which was very surprising. With about 10 minutes left he was done with being on our row though, and I had to take him out. He walked around the foyer a little, but mostly waited by the doors wanting to go outside. Eventually someone arrived, and Grayson got through the door, so we wandered outside a bit. He was very happy to know the church also had trees! We were only out here a few minutes before we headed back in for the end of Sacrament meeting.
Rolling back in the week, here's Winry one night at dinner. Apparently the sour cream was a bit much to handle this night, as it ended up all the way up to her forehead!
Winry also grabbed this selfie with Monica's phone. I believe it was this same day that in the morning she made pancakes for breakfast! Monica helped her get everything and mix the batter, and she put it out and flipped them. Monica said she got all of them off the griddle onto a plate until she took that video, and of course that's the time it fell off on the counter!
Grayson got another haircut this past week (and so did Monica!). The girls helped, but he was super squirmy. Things ended up a little rough around the ears as he was having none of that, but otherwise it looks great.
I've been playing the piano more recently, and some of that is due to a piano book I got for Christmas. Brooke really likes one of the songs in it called "Song of Storms." She made up her own dance to go with it, and even showed it to her dance class and her teacher found the song on Spotify.
Saturday morning the girls had a birthday party, so while everyone was out, Grayson and I went for a walk. It was a very sunny and nice day, so we had to take our sunglasses.
We of course stopped at Grayson's favorite tree, and it had a special surprise today, snow! Not only did Grayson get to poke his finger tips with pine needles, but he also got to play with the snow.
The party was Encanto themed, and here's a picture of the girls while they were there. They had a lot of fun. I remember they had to find Bruno (the dad, who was hiding in a closet with a green blanket wrapped around himself) and they did a piñata.
Once the girls were back, I headed out for my run, and then when I got home we all headed to the zoo. We don't typically go in the afternoon, but we haven't been in a long time, and with a party in the morning it was the time that worked. We still had a lot of fun and I'm really glad we went. Grayson LOVED to see the animals!
Well... when there wasn't a big distracting tree on the other side of the path. Sometimes he focused on the trees... Maybe we need to take him to the botanical gardens...
We didn't go around to all the animals like we usually do, but made sure we got to everyone's favorites. Of course that means we saw the vultures, who Winry left with a hug and kiss! Oh, and when we walked up she stood up to see them, and then started singing "Happy Birthday" really loud to them, just cause she was excited to see them.
The tiger was out, which is always a treat. I feel like they usually sit in a corner where you can't see them. He was going down for a nap when we got there, and when we were walking up you could hear him... purring? It was a pretty loud sound, don't know what it was. Here he is with his tongue out.
We also saw the sea lions, and this guy really looked like he could use a pillow.
Today we took Grayson to nursery for the first time! He's a little over a month away from 18 months, and we usually go with our kids for the first month or so to help them get settled. He did pretty well today. I was surprised he sat in a seat for most of singing time. He also didn't seem too attached to me either, so that's good. He'd wander off and play, etc. and he LOVED snack time, which is a shocker (not). They closed things off with a bubble machine, and he just stood there in shock watching it. After a minute or two I coaxed him into walking around and poking the bubbles. Anyway, he did a great job, and it's so crazy he's already getting so big!
