Winnie The Pooh and Cherry Tomatoes.....

Last night Brayden came to visit... actually David came too as well as Allen. Fortunately I had made a pan of beef enchiladas on Sunday so it was a real treat to come home from work and be surprised to see all "my boys" there.... what voila... they had dinner made in an instant! Actually Jerry had it all set up already so yet another treat....

Allen had just returned from a week's get-away to a Ceramics Conference/Class he attended so I hadn't seen him for awhile.... his garden was overflowing when he returned home so he brought a bowl full of cherry tomatoes .... which made for our "salad" with the enchiladas.... don't these look awesome (0h yes and I get to keep the ceramic bowls he brought them in... yippeee!)....



And Brayden loved them!! He just wanted more and more....

Didn't want to over-do it with him so ended with some animal crackers

which of course he loves too!!!

 

It was such a fun evening just enjoying their company... Allen brought Frisco with him so Brayden tried to get him to play too....  kept trying to share his toys with him... wasn't sure how Frisco would react as he isn't around little kids at all so kept a close watch on him.....

We played quite a while with Winnie the Pooh airplane riding toy.. Jerry put in some new batteries and it made a world of a difference.. we didn't even know the propeller lit up!! Must have kept Brayden entertained for a sold 20 minutes nearly just staring at it and pushing the button over and over!!! You can't tell in the pictures but it spins around pretty fast and plays music... you can kinda see it in the second picture here...

Every time Brayden comes, we play with these stacking bowls... and from day one I use to play "peek a boo" through them and look at him through the hole.. to this day Bayden imitates that every time.... without fail!

But it was the Winnie the Pooh that he coming back to...

We snuck outside to play some ball to and were surprised by the sprinklers coming on in the lawn... darn wish I had my camera.. it was just too cute... so we headed back in for a dry shirt (the other one was pretty damp even before the sprinkler attacked us ... as he's been teething some more too lately....

Finished the evening off with some more playing and then started to wind down and get some comfort from his sippy cup... trying to get him off the bottle... slowly... Oh and David bought a gate to put up at the stairs instead of chasing him constantly up and down... darn that's how I was getting my exercise!!!



Pretty much after that he was ready to konk out since he'd gone nearly all day without a nap... so David loaded up everything and hit the road.. just hope Brayden didn't cat nap  on the ride home enough to keep him up all night.... and instead went home and straight to bed... hummm.. guess I'll find out soon enough!

What an awesome evening!!
