A Sunday Morning Workout With Our ‘Little Man’

We drove down to Victoria early Sunday morning to have a visit with Carrie and Mason. When we arrived he was motoring around behind a little push-cart toy that he could walk behind just by hanging on to the handle. He was moving so fast I thought he just might be able to come home and help cut my lawn! Once in a while Mason would let go of the handle and just stand there…thinking…but no steps yet! It’s not going to be long though as he’s strong on his legs and rarin’ to go!

After racing around with his push-cart, Mason decided it was time to play on the floor with his toys along with his Grammy and Grandpa of course. This involved mostly chasing and catching him as he crawled off in all different directions to try and get a hold of things on tables that he wasn’t supposed to be getting a hold of. More than once I heard Grammy whispering to Carrie that “when Mason starts walking he’s going to be a holy terror”!! Should be fun.

To get some R&R, we took Mason for a walk to Starbucks – he loves going out

Before we were totally exhausted, Paulette and I decided to take Mason for a walk to the nearby Starbuck’s – we desperately needed some caffeine to keep us going. Our ‘little man’ loved that as he likes to point at things and tell us what he’s seeing in a language all his own. Lots and lots of laughing along the way. At Starbuck’s we gave him some small pieces of a muffin. He ate some of it but most of the muffin was broken into tiny pieces and dropped on the floor. What a mess that was.

Back home, it was time for Mason’s first “horsey-ride” with Grandpa being the beast of burden. He had a good grip on the back of my shirt as I crawled around with him but Grammy wasn’t far behind making sure he didn’t fall off. He sure liked that.

Mason showed us the crawl through tunnel he got for his birthday from one of his little friends. It’s really amazing to see some of the new toys and playthings that the little guys have to play with these days. He spend quite a long time crawling back and forth through this tunnel. He especially loved it if someone would chase him. I could chase him alright but there was no way I was going to fit through that tunnel.

Thanks Grammy and Grandpa, that was fun, come back and see me soon ok?

By noon, Paulette and I were completely exhausted. It was definitely time to head for home after making a quick stop at Costco. We said goodbye to Carrie and Mason giving our little man an extra big hug. As soon as we recuperate and give our weary bones a rest we’ll be heading back down for another workout session with Mason!

Thanks for visiting!
