Stretchy McStretchers

Yesterday James, John, Grandma and I went out to eat at an all you can eat BBQ buffet (Dixie Bones to those in the know). James is just starting to be good at restaurants if you time it right. He needs to have a full tummy, a nap and then usually he can make it through a meal. He is such an active little guy, it can be quite the event as we pass him around the table so everyone can get a chance to eat.

He is really fascinated by liquids, and yesterday he had his first introduction to southern sweet tea....when he spilled an entire large class all over John's pants. He reached, grabbed and spilled. Oh boy, daddy was covered! I think James rather enjoyed all the excitement. John didn't really enjoy the wet pants. And for the rest of the meal we made sure there wasn't anything within James' grasp. It came close a couple of times but nothing else was spilled. On the up side, the food was delicious and we all left feeling a little over stuffed.

Hysterical! Funny timing, this morning we left Ace alone with her cereal for two seconds ... spill all over the place. Don't you love the mess.

I can't wait to get him and Katie together again. She is quite active as well. It almost takes 2 of us to get her dressed!!! We are all getting over colds, but maybe next week we will be feeling better and can do a play date!!!
