The Way Overdue Entry
It's been a week since my mom visited and I am just now getting a chance to sit down and update the journal. Here is photographic evidence of what keeps me from making more frequent updates.
Fortunately for me, my mom cleaned up and organized my nightmare of a kitchen while she was here. She's a champ because she didn't even puke in the sink when she stumbled across one of our "sippy cup cheese" experiments. I was totally tempted to post pictures of the very clean and organized kitchen but I know you come here for pictures of the kid.
Here he is with Nanna at Fairytale Town. He's riding one of the horses pulling Cinderella's pumpkin carriage. I don't remember that her carriage was pulled by carousel horses, but whatever.
I will not post the pictures of Nanna chasing Dax around Fairytale town because in each one she looks like she's making silly faces because she was in the middle of saying things like, "Look! There's mommy! Go to mommy! Dax! Don't go in the lake! Don't! Go! In! The! Lake!"
Dax had so much fun with his Nanna, even though she's named after a yellow fruit that he loves to eat and isn't that just hilarious? No? It is to a 18-month-old kid. For awhile we had him calling her "Diva" which is far more befitting of her stature but might get some strange looks on the street.
We went to the new West Sacramento Ikea, the Sacramento Zoo, Fairytale Town, the San Francisco Zoo, Golden Gate Park, and the beach while she was here. Those are the only times I let her leave the house. All other times she was made to stay indoors and to toil like a seriously underpaid servant. We even made her make a huge batch of chicken and noodles. Dax helped.
By the way, mom? They're gone already. Can you mail frozen chicken and noodles to us or am I going to have to finally make them myself?
