Jameson’s spoils

 - by Brittany

Saturday was spent shopping with Kevin’s parents. Jameson was completely spoiled by his grandparents. They got him a few toys for his birthday, along with adorable clothes for church. I was really excited he received this toy…

At the expo I went to a couple weekends ago, this toy was present. It’s called a Rody. It bounces like the hop balls we had as kids, but has feet and is more stable for smaller children. Jameson kept trying to take this toy with us, and would get mad when I told him it was not ours. The toy store we went to had them, and Grammy was excited to get it for him. He hops all around on his “donkey.” Last night we even caught him having a converstaion with it. We were visiting on the couch, Jameson was hoping around, and fell over. Then I hear this…

Jameson- “I sowry donkey.” He set his donkey upright again. “I sowry. Soft (as he pets his donkey).” Then he gave his donkey a kiss, hopped back on, and kept bouncing.

Today he has insisted on bringing his donkey up stairs and down stairs with with him. Not so fun for us.

Baby girl was also spoiled. She received a few outfits and shoes, along with this adorable dress…

We had to get Jameson the matching tie. tie.jpg

It didn’t really occur to me to have matching outfits. Usually you match your boys or dress your girls the same. Not that I haven’t seen brothers and sisters match, I just haven’t thought about it. Well, now I am, and I can’t wait!

Jameson had to try out his toys with Grammy and Papa. This alligator is a little scary. You push his teeth until he snaps his mouth shut and then your out.

(Don’t mind me in the background. It had been a lond day of shopping, and I was a little tired and sore.)

We were also able to take Kevin’s parents to the EMP (Experience Music Project). The displays this time were not as fun as when we went on our honeymoon, but I still think Kevin’s parents enjoyed it. They also have an area you can play instruments. Jameson loved this sections. He played on the keyboards with his Grammy for 10 minutes and did not want to leave. Unfortunately our time was up in the booth.

Jameson also loved his Grammy’s iphone. She has downloaded toddler games on it for him, and he never forgets that. She downloaded a new one for him, which Kevin (my husband) thought was too advanced for him. You had to drag the “puzzle piece” to the correct spot. For example, place the cow piece on top of the cow outline. At first Jameson was frustrated, because he couldn’t drag them just right. Within a few tries, he figured it out and proved his dad wrong. By the end of the night, he could finish the puzzle after a minute or two and would want you to start it over. If anyone knows of a touch screen hand held device that’s not a phone, for kids let me know. We totally need one.

The weekend ended with the missionaries over for dinner on Sunday. We had some good steaks, sent them on their way, and then enjoyed the rest of the evening with Kevin’s parents. Debbie got to show Jameson some of the other toys she got him.

This morning Jameson woke up, and the first question was, “Papa here?” Well this was pretty much how every morning has started this weekend. I had to tell him he would be coming soon. They stopped by for about 30 minutes before they had to leave for the airport. Jameson was sad to say good-bye. We had so much fun this weekend, and can’t wait for more visits.

Thanks again for all the treats and fun this weekend!
