Rainy Day Fun

My son brought Ian to me yesterday afternoon after he got out of preschool (mother's day out). Ian was asleep when they drove up and I got him out of the car, he woke up gave me a big hug and said, "Grammy, Grammy!" like he was so surprised to see me. We had to make a trip to Gibson's for some old timey toys (if you have ever been to Gibson's Discount Store you know what I am talking about). They still have one of those old horses that you can ride for it seems like 5 minutes for just a quarter. : ) He didn't quite know what to think of the horse. His dad left after we ate, we got Ian in the tub and then snuggled up to watch "Toy Story" yet one more time! He would look at me and smile and pat my arm and I thought my heart would burst open. He was so tired I thought he would crash before the movie was over but he made it to the end and slept in one of the twin beds since he is a big boy now and no more baby beds for him. I was worried he would be getting up all night but he went to sleep and we never heard a peep out of him until 8 this morning. After breakfast, Hooked on Phonics You Tube videos, reading and a snack we went outside to play in the sandbox. While we were outside it came a downpour. Of course he stayed under the porch until I got on the phone and he got out in the rain and the rest as we say is history. Give a boy a puddle and he will splash in it, stomp in it and maybe just sit in it. He did have fun in the rain. He also had to climb the ladder we had out, what boy wouldn't? He was supposed to stay two nights but Mom missed him too much and wanted him home, (not that I blame her, he is so precious) so I took him home this afternoon. He was so good, I really enjoyed it. I told him on the way home, "I sure do love you and had so much fun playing with you" and he looked at me before he nodded off and said, "Okay" He is one of God's special blessings I am so truly thankful for.
