It’s always fun when visitors come into town… never a better excuse to have some fun!

We loved it!

Thanks again for braving the heat Dave, Paula and Jenny!

Griff found one of my childhood books called “You Can Be Anything.” He loves it because he can move a little boy on a string and make him a doctor, a police officer, a letter carrier, a broadcaster, a teacher, a singer or -his personal favorite- a firefighter. We have to find the fire truck first thing and he makes the siren sound and honks the horn.

From here he has to put on his firefighter hat (thank you Summer)!

He switched professions throughout the day and wanted to be a teacher because he went straight to the color poster. (We use the wooden spoon as our pointer occasionally.)

I ask him, “where is the black camera?” And when he points to it, I give him a sticker to put on a chart. He can point to every single colored object on that poster when asked.

In the afternoon, when we went outside, he became a pilot. 

I’m not anxious for this little boy to grow up, but I love that he is learning and developing new skills each day. It will be so fun, as his mom, to see what he grows up to be.

Griff, you smart sweet boy, you can be anything!
