My Little Gardener

Last night we were outside doing our usual nightly outside stuff - watering & more watering - when I noticed Grayson had a poopy diaper. So I took him inside and he had a pretty awful diaper rash so I just let him go outside pantless! YIKES! I never would have imagined ME having a kid outside with no diaper on, never say never!! Anyways, the boy was just like a dog - he peed on everything in sight - he thought it was funny I guess that he could do that. So we just let him be for an hour or so. He loves the water. Most nights he is soaking wet when we go inside because he couldn't stay out of the sprinkler and hoses. But last he actually was watering my plants. I think he comes by it pretty honestly because Pappa could stand outside for hours just watering the grass.

Kid Free!!

So Grayson went to Grammy and Pappa's for the weekend and Casey and I are just wondering around like we have no clue what we are supposed to be doing without Grayson! LOL! My house is nice and clean though! We had an awesome 4th of July. Our friends Dane, Jen, and Maggie came over and we shot some fireworks. Grayson loved them. He even liked the sparklers. We live close enough to the Riverwind casino that we could see their fireworks from our back porch so that was good. Anyways, Grayson got put in real timeout (the one with no cookies) this week at Nanny's (which is what we call daycare). He has discovered the art of kicking! YIKES! So that was probably the biggest milestone this week. We put him in timeout once at home this week too for hitting with his play golf club. He actually sat there (only for one and half minutes) until I told him he could get up. He sure looked sad though:( I'm sure this is just the beginning of many timeouts! We also took a ride on the boats in Brickown. He liked the first half of it and then he was so sleepy that the second half was not that enjoyable.

New Pictures

Here are a few of Grayson's 18 month pictures. They were taken on campus at OU by Sara Biese - Sara's Photo Creations. She does an awesome job! Not much new here. We camped with Grammy and Pappa last weekend at Thunderbird and our friends Jen Price and her daughter Maggie came on saturday to play with us. Grayson loves the sand, he could play in it all day. We had a good time. Jen, Dane, Maggie, and Grammy & Pappa are coming for the fourth so hopefully I can post some cute pics of Grayson's first real experience with the fourth of July business. I just hope he is not scared of them! Hope everybody has a safe and fun holiday!
