Peek a Boo!

Hello hello!  I think the biggest news for this week was mentioned last week, and that's that Grayson transitioned from a crib to a bed.  He's been doing an amazing job with it too.  He's stayed in his room every time until we come get him, though he does open his door sometimes.  It's usually just to throw out a toy, and then he closes it back up.  He's transitioning nicely, and after skipping his nap the first 2 days, I'm pretty sure he's napped every day since.  He's also really enjoyed getting into Jelly's cat tower, and loves to climb through it.  Poor Jelly, with nowhere to sleep!


On Monday Monica took Grayson and Winry to story time at the library.  As you can see, Grayson may have been a bit tired from skipping his nap the 2 days before.  He's not usually so subdued for these types of events.


Here's Jelly, enjoying one of the few moments of respite that she could on her cat tower this past week.


On Thursday Monica headed off for a weekend with her writers group.  I haven't actually heard much about it yet, but she had a great time.  They stayed pretty close by at one of the girls in-law's house, so the party came to us.  Here's a picture of them all at breakfast one morning.


On Friday I headed to the grocery store with Winry and Buc-ee... I mean Grayson!  I decided to switch up dinner and I needed to get a few things to make homemade pizza.  The kids wanted to trick or treat things, so Winry carried our grocery bag, and I'd hand everything to Grayson who'd put it in after she asked for it.  We had a GREAT trip.


I think this is my favorite monitor picture from the past week.  This is Grayson in his bed reading books.  The first few days when we'd put him in he'd wander around his room.  We got a video monitor that you can move remotely so that we could follow him and keep an eye on him.  Now he mostly just climbs into his bed and lays there.


Saturday Winry had basketball, and I had all the kids.  Grayson actually stayed in the gym and let me watch for about the first half.  We spent the next 20ish minutes walking up and down the hall, then a little while playing with the drinking fountain, and the final 10 minutes me holding him in the corner of the gym getting screamed at because he wanted to play with the drinking fountain (or rather, because he was really tired).  I was able to catch some of what Winry did during the second half through the doorway, but I missed her making a basket, and my attempt to record her scrimmage is filled with screaming from Grayson...


And that afternoon? Right back into his home!  He just loves it in there.  What a crazy kid!


Nothing else too crazy happened this past week.  No electric box or car fires in the middle of the night or anything.  I'm not complaining though, I'd rather things be smooth, especially when I've got all the kids by myself!
