Weeks 2 & 3 with Grandma Kathie

Grandma Kathie came to visit a couple of days after my mom and sister left.  Thank goodness because I wasn't quite ready to be on my own yet!

This was the day she arrived.  Trey was so excited to see her!

Grandma K and Trey had lots of fun together.

I'm so glad Kathie was so helpful with him, he was a little extra needy these first couple of weeks (as was expected.)

I think Trey loved having someone to play with him ALL of the time.

Trey would wake up every morning and want Grandma K to race his cars on the racetrack.  He was pretty consistent with this. He would sit down and pat the floor next to him for her to sit down.  Pretty cute if I do say so myself.

Trey got his fair share of ring around the rosies.  He wanted to do it again and again and again... unfortunately for him, us old folks could only do it a couple of times before we got too dizzy.

 Loving on his sister Kate.  

Trey really was so sweet with Kate.  I was worried how he would act towards her, but he did so great and always wanted to give her hugs and kisses.

Playing some more with Grandma... Trey kept her busy! :)  (Kate was waiting for her bath)

Love my kiddos...

She also did some bonding with Miss Kate.

Kathie was here for a week and was supposed to head home the Saturday after she got here.  It so happened that Jeff was leaving to interview in Texas that same day.  Kathie got up at 5am, got ready, and packed her bags... just about ready to head to the airport when she decided she better stay to help me the 3 days that Jeff was going to be gone.  Bless her heart.  (This may or may not have been due to the melt down I had the night before.)  I had reassured her that I would be fine but I think she knew my state of affairs and decided it was best that she stayed.  I'm so glad she did because Trey got another blasted cold/cough that weekend and was quite miserable to say the least.  I was up more at night with him than I was with Kate.  Between the two of them I think I only got about 5 hours of sleep in 2 nights.  Thank goodness Kathie was here so I could nap during the day.

Thanks again Kathie for staying longer to help me out... we were all glad you did!

Cuddling with Grandma while watching a show... we watched a few too many of those since he was sick and not feeling well.

CHEEEESE!

We took Kathie to the airport Tuesday morning (the same day Jeff got home).

Trey was sure sad to see her leave.

Poor kid gets used to having someone here and then they just have to turn around and leave again.

Good thing she comes back a few weeks later!

That same day I came downstairs from doing something and found this...

Cute little Trey thought it would make Kate happy to share his pretend food with her.

This wasn't the first time I found his toys on her..  once I found his Barney DVD on her head and more than once have found a ball on her lap.

I love that he thinks whatever makes him happy should make her happy too!

It's times like this when I just LOVE being a mom.
