Mod podge letters with Heston
My little grandson, Heston , just recently spent the week with us while his Mom and Dad were out of the country. He was sick the first half of the visit so we did a lot of sitting around, watching movies. The second week, he was back to normal, enjoying all that life has to offer! One morning, after the ritual of french toast and apple juice, we did a little art project that I had been telling him about. We cut out pictures from Dollar Store books of his favorite characters. ( We bought three books there, two were school type book with activities but plenty of pictures on the front and back and on the pages to use. The other one was a coloring book with the Green Lantern and friends all through it.) I bought c

Today, we went on a little day trip with part of our family, a few couldn`t come, but Lara was home and got to go with us, Rebecca, Tommy and Heston too. We played a bit, had a picnic, played a bit more then headed back home. It was a quick little outing but we had a fun time together.
Afternoon with Heston and the alarm
This afternoon, I went to stay with Heston while his Mommie was at an appointment. It was the first time I had been over to his house since he is in his new room, in his big boy bed. He usually says, very loudly, "I ready to get up" after he wakes up. Today was a bit different.... A soft little voice, says....."can I get up so we can go see Grammie?"!! so I walked over to the sound and looked upstairs to see him.. His response, "Grammie, what are you doing here?!"!!
Afternoon with Grammie
Yesterday I picked up my little grandson, Heston, from his daycare, early afternoon, to spend the afternoon with. He was staying with us through dinner and bedtime. It has become our custom, all two times, to stop by the bakery in Homewood and get a treat after I pick him up. Last time we got him a special cookie, this time he spotted Superman cupcakes! So, that was his choice, since he is really into super heroes right now.

Yesterday was a beautiful day with several lessons to be learned for me. I was excited to be having Heston over for the afternoon while his Mom and Dad went to the movies. I had planned several things in my mind to do with him while he was here and after his nap.The nap thing didn`t work out so good. He is now in a big boy bed and can get up and down when he wants to. He yelled down several times... "Is it time to get up yet?" After I said 'Just 3 more minutes" several times in answer to his question..... He says back to me..."IT has been 4 minutes and you didn`t even know!" so... then he has to potty, a while later he says he needs to poop.... then at that point, I am thinking I need to go check things out, so nap time is officially over.!!
Heston Christening
This morning was the big day for Heston. We all got up early to get to Trinity to catch him sitting in the parlor, all smiles with his light-up hammer. He was certainly the center of attention with all the family gathered around smiling down at him. He just looked from one person to the other with his big smile. I think, surely, his cheek muscles must hurt at night from all the smiles he gives away during the day, but I am not complaining! The children`s choir sang as the service started and it made me a little sad to think that in no time, we will be sitting there, listening to him perform as he turns 4. Time flies and I am only too aware of that as I look at him , almost a big 9 month old!!Finally it was his turn to get up in front of the church.
