Next day, did the usual routine shopping with Isaac and Matt, love to do this. Then, went back and played with Isaac til nap time, when Matt and I did errands together. That night, they went out to dinner to celebrate Matt's Valentine's Day Birthday, while I baby sat Isaac. We did a project together--brought stuff so he could make them valentines and a birthday card. He got so caught up in it that, had to put on every little dot from the sticker page. Later, we watched a movie.
What amazed me there was the weather! I've been there before in winter, but either because it was a glorious day, or because it's been so grey and cold at home, I was reveling in the weather. The sun was so bright, the air was so clear, and it was warm. The mountains were so clear in the background. I felt almost jubilent, making me wonder if I had SADS in the greyness of Michigan!
Isaac was so cute. two cute things, but mostly for us, I want to remember them.
1) I rented a bright yellow car, and Matt and Isaac rode in it to the grocery store. Isaac said, "Hmm, it's been a long time since I've been in a yellow car." (i'm sure he's never been in one!)
Later, when we were playing, he was making up a baseball game, with a made up bat. I had a big ball, and he wanted me to throw it to him, so he said, "come closer, my dear." ! I asked him where he got that, and he said something about the wolf! He must have just heard the story of Little Red Riding Hood. He has such a funny sense of humor, will all of a sudden say something that sounds silly to him and he'll go" that's so funny."
I miss him already. He told me I was his "favorite friend."
Aww, grandson sounds precious.
