We had our three year old grandson staying with us for a few
days while his mom went to visit her sister. His dad has a new job and goes to
work too early to get him off to the sitter or to his preschool on alternate
days so our grandson came to stay with us.
These pictures are to show his mom some of the things we
did. He and grandfather put together a Lego race car. He can look at the photo
directions and know when a piece goes but can’t always manipulate it into place
by himself.
The weather was sunny
but cool and windy. We managed to get him to a place to pick out pumpkins and
then we played at a large playground at one of the city parks. He played “follow
the leader” with a couple other boys.
Later he watched recordings of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and
the episode called “Aye, Aye Captain Mickey” became his favorite. He called it “Hi,
Hi Captain Mickey.”
Another day we went to story time at the Children’s Village
near the Cheyenne Botanic Gardens. Then we walked around looking at the various
windmills and interactive stuff for kids. There was a stone wall with a ledge
and curtain and on the other side a box of puppets. So Grammy (me) used some of
them to make a short play and he loved that.
Then we walked around the gardens looking at statues and
crossing the bridge over the lily pond. We ate Pizza at Pizza Hut.
He also spent time helping grandfather set up the HO train
track on the basement carpet and cooking soup in the play area kitchen.
We had a great time. It is a lot easier now that he is potty
trained!
