No Alligator, But Papa Jack And Nana Are Here!

Caleb was pretty upset Sunday evening when daddy got home from work and the alligator hadn't shown up for dinner. However, we were able to tell him that my parents would be here the next afternoon.

Then, the next afternoon the best combination of events that could happen for an almost 4 year old did - we met Papa Jack and Nana at the Imagination Station!! (The toy store in town that sells "Thomas The Train" toys). They have a train table set up with a bunch of the toys and he would stay and play there forever. It was my parents that started getting him his trains and track and is what they get him for birthdays and Christmas'.

The boys have been having a great time and have been taking long naps in the afternoon from all their play in the back yard with Papa Jack. Elton stayed in the swing for an hour the other morning and still wasn't ready to get out. My dad said that when he put him on the grass he couldn't stand or walk at first (equilibrium off) from being in the swing so long. Elton has really taken to Papa Jack and goes to him frequently wanting him to pick him up. You can tell that this makes Papa Jack pretty happy.

Last night, Caleb told them that he wanted them to stay "lots of nights". They will be here for about 3 weeks, so he will get his wish.
