Grandmas are the best



Steve's mom came to visit for the week and we had a great time. She gets along with Maddie so well, and Maddie just eats her up. She can't really say "grandma," but it is a really cute "pa, pa." It just so happens that during her visit, Maddie has really gone crazy with her vocabulary (bike, chicken, snack, bread, park, book, what's that?, moon, plane, apple...).

Aside from being so cute with Maddie, she was so helpful and nice to us- especially to me! She gave me time to take breaks, go to the movies, sleep in... it was heaven on earth. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

Maddie is fascinated with these little twigs in our little park.. and she and Grandma Sue would play with them for quite a while.

As most parents would agree, it is so nice to find something your child likes- because once they find it- they can stick with it for a good hour. (playing with diaper wipes, playing with your wallet, playing with sticks, playing with a random box...) Grandma Sue was patient with her as she dumped these sticks in her hands over and over again.

This post is dedicated to Grandma Sue! Thanks so much for coming to visit- we will miss you and can't wait to see you soon.

I agree! Sue even helped me out by holding Max in nursery! She's great.

Three cheers for Grandma Sue! My Grandma was mean, and only said stuff like "quiet down" and "go outside you meddling kids!!" So, it's nice to see nice Grandmas.

Maddie's hair is tres fashionable, BTW!
