Random Thoughts & Quotes

The weekend before last Megan spent Saturday night at my parents' house.  John had gone fishing with my dad earlier that day and we were at their place a little late celebrating my brother Kevin's birthday so we decided to just leave her be.  It was nice to get a full night's sleep in our own bed and Megan would be dropped off in time for church the next day.  John must have thought I missed Megan because as I was getting ready in the bathroom that morning, he crawled in, opened up my brush and makeup drawer and started tossing things out.  Just like Megan would have if she would have been there.

Last Saturday night we did a grocery run to Mackenthun's.  Megan got a little antsy riding in the shopping cart, so John told me to push it and do the shopping and he would walk with Megan.  They walked hand in hand up and down about 5 or 6 aisles.  She was so proud of herself and did surprisingly well.  If you've ever been to Mackenthun's you know they have a little gifty aread.  You should have seen Megan's face light up as they rounded that corner and she saw all the bright and shiny things!  I think most of the shoppers liked seeing Megan walk, but I'm sure there were plenty of people thinking, "pick that girl up and get out of our way!"

Megan is getting so good at waving hi and bye.  One day before work last week I needed to leave but picked Megan up (who had been laying with John in bed) in order to say goodbye.  As I picked her up, she started waving to John.  I think she wanted to go with me!  Because of her recognition of the word "bye" I also have to watch how I word my sentences.  At our Super Bowl party on Sunday, Megan was holding some toy and I told her to "go by Daddy".  Well, she started waving at John thinking I said "bye Daddy".  Guess I should have said, "Megan, go to Daddy"...

After we got home from my grandparents' place on Sunday we had to do some mad cleaning to get ready for John's parents who were coming over to watch the Super Bowl with us.  John was such a good help during the cleaning efforts and totally initiated and manned the much-needed refrigerator cleaning.  I looked at him and said, "Your parents can come every weekend!"  He instantly knew that I meant they could come because it got them cleaning so he replied with, "I clean for your parents too, you know."  I told him, "Fine, then they can alternate weekends!"
