"Wee" Visitor

We had a visitor at our house last night. Those from Scotland might say a "wee visitor". Our little buddy Jackson came to play with Uncle Keith and Aunt Karen for a bit while his folks and grandparents made a visit to the hospital a few blocks away. We enjoyed the time with Jackson. He's growing up so much so fast. They were on vacation last week and it's amazing how much he seemed to learn in only a week.

He's always been a bit hesitant about the dogs at our hosue. We keep them gated in the kitchen while he is here. But, not this time. He walked right up to their gate and just "ruff-ruffed" right back at them and went back to see them often.

Since it was such a nice day we got out the big yard toy that generally just sits in our garage until we can find some little one to come and play with us! My Mom once taught me that if I wanted to enjoy playing with little kids I needed to find some toys that I enjoyed playing with too. My Mother was a wise woman. (I can't wait until Jackson's old enough to build with the Lincoln Logs!). :o)

This is an air filled tent sort of thing that has a big cheese room, an apple room and all connected by a big green worm.

Jackson spotted it and was soon exploring the ominous thing.

Jackson was a little surprised that it didn't bounce back!

After he explored the outside of it a bit he started working on figuring it out. We threw some balls in the door first. They seemed to do OK. The worm gave them back.

Then, once Aunt Karen got inside, he thought he'd go for it. He thought he'd better take snacks along though!

Better take snacks. Who knows when we'll get out of here!

Once he got in he found the balls and found some fun.

Hey! The balls are in here!

We enjoyed throwing the balls back and forth through the tunnel.

Come see us again soon Jackson!
