Uncle Roman Is Fun!

We all had another rainy week at Grandma's but Roland is good at entertaining himself.  He has a favorite game of bugging Ollie.  In the photo Roland touches Ollie and Ollie touches back. Roland also has started to enjoy his books, especially the car books.   But once Uncle Roman showed up it was all about the Cool Cars!

Another Week At Grandma's!

Roland spends three afternoons at my house and here is a spinet of what Roland enjoyed while we were stuck inside because of Spring rains.   He learned a new task of pushing the car to make it move forward.  Roland and Ollie (the dog) have a special relationship: you chase me, I'll chase you, you bug me, I'll bug you. Roland really enjoyed making fart sounds with his Papa too. Not quite sure where he picked that one up from but I guess its a rite of passage when you're a little boy to be able to make certain sounds.  His favorite new question these days is. "What is that"?

A Boys World!

Finally the weather has warmed up so Roland and I can enjoy some outdoor play.  I have a corner of the back yard that I am making into a truck and car play area. I started with some sand as a test  and Roland gave it a good trial run. Since then I have doubled the amount of sand and will be adding a hot wheels track, a water station, and his train tracks.     The eventual goal is Roland's Hideaway with a small fort and napping loft but that's for another summer.  For now its Stuck in the Sand and Oh No What Happened!

Little Boy!

I looked at these 2 photos that I took today and I could really see Jake's family in him.  Some times he looks like Kasey but as he grows into a boy he is leaning toward his dads looks.  His favorite expression these days is "Oh No, What Happened!"  His favorite DVD's are The Magic School Bus.

Afternoon Fun!

Uncle Roman was visiting this afternoon so we all watched a few minutes of Finding Nemo before we headed back to Rolands house.  We skip over the scary shark scenes.  Its amazing that after not watching this for a few months that Roland knows what is going to happen before it happens, like "the boat," and in the next scene a boat appears.   Hummm. We were also having a bit of fun. I call it chaotic fun when Roland and Ollie egg each other on in a game of chase.

Toy Box

Roland thought that today he would have more fun sitting in the toy box while he examined his car collection.  I think that we have most of Disney Cars collection and Thomas and Friends.  He has also found a new favorite DVD The Magic School Bus. The big black leather chair is his favorite spot to watch a video.  

The Ride Home!

This is what it looks like in the car when Roland and I head back to his home after spending some time at Grandma's.  Roland is laughing with Papa who is being silly and waving Bye Bye.  The other day I asked Roland where we were when we pulled into the driveway and he said Papa's.
