Dan and Cicely –
Being a baby and all, I suspect that Austin failed to tell you how much fun he had with Aunt Sarah on Saturday, so I’m going to fill you in. First of all, he didn’t cry for even a single second. He was super shy at first and stood by the front door for awhile contemplating why he was still at home but you guys were not. In fact, when we went outside in the late afternoon, for what I hoped to be a cruise around the block in his wagon, he only permitted me to turn circles in the driveway, afraid you might show up while we were gone, find him missing, and then post pictures of him on all of the neighborhood light poles. Missing: Cute Baby. Says baby with a French accent and hello with an English accent.
While in the garage, Austin found Dan’s golf balls and loved to send them sailing down the driveway for me to chase after. FYI, we did have one errant golf ball that is probably under Dan’s duck blind somewhere. Other activities included jumping on pillows in the living room (you might check the pillow arrangement), reading every book in the house, eating snacks and dinner, pushing Yelmo around in the stroller, and playing with Tupperware.
One other thing. Am I correct in assuming that you don’t use that lamb that makes the soothing noises? When Austin tossed it out of the toy basket, the breeching whale noise came on. He looked at it, looked at me, looked at the lamb, and then looked at me as if to say Is that thing possessed?
Thanks for letting me watch the little man. I had a blast.
Love,
Aunt Sarah
P.S. I stole a Swiss Cake Roll.
For those family members who read this blog, some of Austin’s new words include the following:
Hi Debbie – I’m told this is a teacher at daycare.
Grover
Big Bird – Now this doesn’t sound like Big Bird, but he says the same thing every time you ask. Sounds more little yellow which I’m going with. Let’s just assume this 1.5 year old knows his colors.
