Finally – I Get to Go Outside!

Mom and I flew on an airplane all by ourselves to go to California. I love that word. California. I am very good at saying it too. I did pretty well on the plane, I think. Mom doesn’t really agree. Her favorite part was when I was crying on the floor and then I fell asleep for an hour. I was still kind of crabby when I woke up. What can you expect? I expected to be on the ground in the big C.A. When I saw Grandma and Auntie Kristie, I was SO excited! We went back to Grandma’s house. Mom and Auntie went straight to the pool and Grandma and I played in the little pool after my nap. It was nice outside.
We spent our days out on the patio watching the golfers, riding bikes, playing in my pool and playing with cars. My favorite was riding in the golf cart. I went on rides with Grandpa, Grandpa and Dad, Grandma and my mom. I can’t wait until I can drive all by myself. Don’t think I didn’t try. I made it roll backwards by myself once or twice.
Dad came for a few days to hang out. He played golf twice and hung out around the house with us. It was super windy when he was there, but he didn’t seem to mind.
Grandma also had her 58th birthday while we were there. We all dressed in green (her birthday make us all Irish for some reason) and had lunch on the patio by the big pool where they have “happy” flowers. Grandma opened her presents – I gave her a picture of me and her from just a few days before. We made an adorable pair. Later Mom and Grandpa cooked a very good-looking dinner. They said it was good, but I didn’t want any. I like chicken, myself. Mom and I went Walmart for fun, where I played my new favorite game, “What’s That?” I think I asked mom about 104 times. She was very patient and kept answering, but it was fascinating. She knew the answers to all of them. She’s so smart. S M R T.
When we got back from Walmart Grandma had the counter covered in cups with colored water. Guess what we did with that water? We colored Easter Eggs! SO much fun, so many opportunities to get messy! I thought I was doing pretty good, by the look on Mom’s face told me otherwise. She kept wiping me up, and I was only in my diaper. She took all of my clothes off before we even started. But the eggs came out BEE-YOO-TI-FUL! We did one for all of us, even Daddy who was not there. We didn’t take them home, but we had fun anyways.
The next day we had to go home. Grandma came to the airport with us. I was not excited about getting on the plane again. Airplanes are fun, the ride is SOOOO long. I did well though. I colored and then I watched the Incredibles. Then Mom and I went into the teeny bathroom to change my diaper and then we started watching Cars. I fell asleep 5 or 10 minutes in and Mom had to wake me when we landed.
Daddy was waiting for us by the bag merry-go-round. I was happy to see him and to be home. I will miss Grandma and Grandpa and California though.
