John Thomas and Sassy's Excellent Adventure!

Carolyn had a meeting on Wednesday night and David was working in Charleston. Carolyn called and asked if I could watch John Thomas on Wednesday night. Not a problem but I did have a lot of running around to do to get ready for Spencer's birthday.

This kid was a trooper- in and out of the car 3 times plus a trip to the grocery store. He really did well! It's so much fun to lag this little one around-- he LOVES people. Women, men, black or white, John Thomas smiles and laughs at everyone. The folks at the grocery store loved him, too. I properly gave credit to his momma and daddy but also stood tall, informing everyone he was MY nephew. :)

We got home, unpacked the car- which nerved me a little... what do I do with him while I'm up and down the stairs? I decided to leave him in the car in his carseat- and started supper. Carolyn packed a kiddie meal with noodles, chicken and peas. Well, Sassy does not have a high-chair but John Thomas's momma sent a cleaver booster seat with us. Feeding this big boy was fun-- he's such an independent kid that he didn't really like me "feeding" him. This is how I know this:

After feeding? Bathing. After all that, finally a chance to cook our own supper. The Witkin's are early supper-eaters, so Carolyn was surprised, when she came in at 8:15, that I was just starting supper for Spencer and I.

I now know why Carolyn and David sometimes don't eat until 9pm!!!
