A Busy Weekend!!

So first off, I forgot to tell you last week that Caeden has officially learned how to drink out of a straw! Last week, we offered it to him one day, but he mainly just chewed on it and played with it. The next morning, we pulled it out again and he just started drinking. I think he now likes his straw cups more than his sippy cups. :)




Now to this weekend....we have lots to report!!  Caeden got to stay at his Nonnie & Grandpa's house (Reid's parents) over night for the first time this weekend.  He has stayed at Nana & Papa's (Ashley's parents) before, but this time was new for him.  He did great!  He stayed Saturday afternoon through Sunday afternoon all by himself and was such a big boy!  Of course, mommy and daddy missed him TONS...but we enjoyed the much-needed break.  Saturday evening we grilled out and ate dinner together without having to rush and make sure it was done by Caeden's dinnertime.  Then we relaxed and ate together whie having an adult conversation...we didn't have to stop every few bites to feed Caeden...so nice!  We finished the evening off by going to Chili's and impressing the waitress by each eating our own dessert (I'm pretty sure most people usually share a dessert!)  Ha!  When she came back to our table a few minutes after bringing us the warm cake & ice cream, her response was something like..."Wow! You must have really liked your dessert!"  That was when we realized that not only did we each order our own, but we also had completely clean plates!!  Ha!  I'm dreading my Weight Watchers weigh-in this week....

The best part is we got to sleep in this morning!!!  And I mean sleep in past 7:00!!  We took our time getting ready, went to the 11:00 service, and then went to eat lunch at MAD Pizza with some great friends!  We never get to do that because normally Caeden has to take a nap! So nice!  We then went shopping for some of Caeden's birthday presents which was so fun!  Now that he's getting older and doing much more, there's much more of a selection when it comes to things we can buy him!!!  It was so fun thinking about his personality and which toys he would really like. :)  After coming home and relaxing for a bit, we met Reid's parents halfway and picked up our greatly-missed son!!!  It was so good to see him again!

Now for the best part!!! After Caeden ate dinner, we got to show him his "big" birthday present! Yes, it's 3.5 weeks early but we wanted him to be able to enjoy it while there was still some summer left. Both grandparents pitched in to help us buy this amazing playset! And Caeden loves it already! He played on it for about 30 minutes and we still had to convince him to come inside for his bath.  We're looking forward to the fun playtimes he will have in his clubhouse over the next few years!!  We really hope he enjoys it!
