My Granddaughters turned 1 on the 28th and her party was today &
my Grandson Carter turns 1 on Monday and his party was Saturday. Two
large parties in two days for two wonderful Grandchildren. Carter's
party was a house party with a pool. My three little swimmers loved
getting to swim. Karl & Kyle both had a moment they went under
water for a bit. Karl slipped off Mike's back and went under for a
second, he was very upset at first. He only wanted me, he kept crying, I
talked with him for a while and then he started to cry because he
wanted to go swimming again. I was very happy he went back in so
quickly, then he went down the slide while Karissa caught him in the
water. Mike took Kyle down the slide and on the last second he slipped
and Kyle went under for a second. I took him out of the water right away
but he had to go back in. It sucked that they went under water but I
was very proud that they handled it so well. It makes me feel that I
have helped them learn to rebound from bad situations. Donald would have
stay in the pool all day if we would have let him.
Kyle had a two
breakthroughs during the party one he ate more steak at the party than
he has eaten in the past two months. It was very spicy, a little too
spicy for me but not for Kyle, he couldn't get enough of it. I think
that because he under registers taste that he needs things to be extra
spicy. So I will be making steak strips with that sauce in hopes that I
can get him to eat more meat. My Cherished Daughter Cassie's cousin was
at the party and played with Kyle. Normally Kyle won't go near new
people but he took to this teenager right away. They were joking
around, bumping fists, he pushed Kyle around on the tricycle &
played ball with him. Kyle had no fear and was so happy it made my day
perfect. And Carter was so cute eating his cupcake, frosting was
everywhere. hehe
Jordyn's party was at the park, this was more
daring with the boys because there was no fence. I used small cones to
mark boundary lines for the boys. We told Karl & Kyle they could not
go past them unless we were with them, for the most part they stayed
within the line. Donald learned how to play Boccie and did very well
too. My Dad must have been smiling in heaven watching Donald play today
as Boccie was my Dad's favorite outdoor game. When no one was playing
with the Boccie balls, Karl would sneak over and play by himself. He was
so cute saying ready, set, go and then throw the balls. He was cute
when he would cheer Donald on too. Kyle had a harder time at this party,
out of nowhere he would get scared and start crying. I think it was
mostly when he got too close to the crowd. I am sure ex-family members
(my sisters) thought we stayed to the opposite side of the party because
of them. But the reality is that we went to one side so the crowd
wouldn't overwhelm the boys too much and it kept the boys away from food
& the grill.
Overall it was a great weekend. My Grandchildren are so adorable, I am the luckiest person in the world.
