Evan Land
Every now and then I like to take advantage of Grandma's Bragging Rights and share with you some kid stories. We are back in the land of Grandkids, seven of them, and one great grand who is the center of attention when we get together. Even if it's your birthday you share the spotlight with Evan (right Ryan?)
I had the fun experience of babysitting Evan for a couple of hours this week. First thing, he ran into his room and grabbed his stacking boxes and asked, "Wanna play?" So we stacked them all higher than his head and he says, "My foot?" So guess what his foot did?! Then we had a big laugh and did it again!
I've always enjoyed playing or visiting with one grand at a time. No interruptions or distractions. We played, tickled, wrestled, boxed and had a snack. I loved listening to him talk. He'll try to say most anything. We put the stacking boxes on our hands and made noises with them. Then he said, "Wanna fight?" and put his hands up like a boxer. So we did a few gentle punches and he hit my hand. I pretended to cry and he dropped his head and said, "I sorry. OK?" He is verrry dramatic.
At 20 months he is more boy than baby but we still managed a little bit of cuddle time. I needed it because I was pooped after all the playtime.
