Two Sundays ago Mommy and I met Grannie and Paw-Paw in Lafayette for lunch. Daddy had to stay in Pittsburgh that weekend, so Mommy and I just wanted something to do! She also needed to pick up a few things at Babies R Us, and even thought there's one in Baton Rouge, it's always fun to shop when there's someone to entertain me. So... these were enough "excuses" for her to call Grannie and Paw-Paw to come meet us. So, after church we headed west!
Mommy packed a bag for me to stay overnight at Grannie's and Paw-Paw's house in Jennings. We thought that would help Grannie - she could head back to Baton Rouge mid-day that Monday, since Mommy leaves for work at 5:40 AM and Daddy wouldn't be home.
And, what would a trip to Babies R Us & Toys R Us with Grannie and Paw-Paw be like if they didnt' buy me something? It would be wierd! Daddy tells me I'm very loved, and that's why I get so many gifts. And I know he's right! Initially Grannie wanted to get me a Lenny (from the Wonder Pets) and a new Wonder Pets DVD (she's tired of the one I have!). I got a Lenny - and some other things, too. But most of it was for Grannie's and Paw-Paw's house so when I'm there I have toys to play with.
But the best part is a new Little Tikes Cozy Coupe - yep, you know the one! And that evening when we got to Jennings, I got to help Paw-Paw assemble it! And Grannie (knowing Mommy and her blogging addiction very well) documented the process on film, err digital memory. I was such a big helper to Paw-Paw!
I was very concerned about getting the steering wheel installed. I mean, what good is a car if it only goes straight?
Once the steering wheel was taken care of, I followed behind Paw-Paw to make sure all the screws were tightly fastened. I wouldn't want a wheel or a headlight falling off while I'm driving now, would I?
Paw-Paw did a pretty good job. I only had to tighten a few screws. Then, it was ready for my to get in! I rode around the halls of their house all evening!
After my bath, I got my snack and cup of milk, started my new Wonder Pets DVD, and settled into my seat at the drive-in theatre.
Ah.... Life is good!
