Today we made a trip to visit Nana at her new place! I have been wanting to go since she moved, but was waiting until my mom could come with us. I like having reinforcements when taking the boys somewhere out of their norm as I never know what there might be for them to get in to. We had such a great time and I think I have figured out where I get the desire to be the perfect hostess from. As soon as we got there Nana had a small bag of toy horses ready for the boys to play with.
I don't know how old they are and whether they are from when my dad was a little boy or from when us grandchildren were little, but apparently some toys are just classics and always enjoyable by the next generation.
Jax has never had a toy horse before, but seemed to instantly be moving it along saying "Giddy up."
Then Nana had platters ready with plenty of food for us and the boys. She even had ice cream for Jax. I am pretty sure if was the only time he sat still. They were able to run, crawl and just played while we visited. At one point as Jax was running circles around the table and Miles was destroying some crackers (and making a mess in the process), I just looked at Nana and laughed. I said this pretty much sums up my daily life right now: Jax running around like crazy and Miles eating. As a mom to three boys pretty close in age herself, and I sure she had many similar days and loved them just like I do.
Though being a Great Grandmother seems pretty awesome as well.
