DAY THREE AND FOUR OF TEN

LOTS MORE FUN

Saturday we took Riley to watch his Uncle Daniel play football.

At 1/4 and 1/2 time he had fun playing football with Grandmadaddy.

Fun name for a Grandfather - Max became Grandmadaddy when our first grandchild Lachlan (7) first started talking, he couldn't say Grandad but could say Grandma so the daddy was added to Grandma

He is a good little kicker of the football

Must be because he watches his daddy play football every week

Sunday he spent a few hours with his other Uncle Michael and Aunty Chantelle

He loved his noodle dinner with his Uncle Michael

Time Square New York was shut down by a bomb square - Amy and Ryan rang to say that their accommodation was in that area and were trying to get back to their hotel.

We have been having so much fun with Riley, he says the funniest things.

He has even been sleeping well which is such a bonus (for us anyway)

DAY ONE OF TEN

Today is the first of ten days that we are looking after 2 ½ yo Riley. Our daughter Amy and husband Ryan flew to New York this morning. A 14 hour flight to LA then 5 hour flight to New York. Ryan and his ‘team’ from work have won an award and as the parent company is from USA they are going there to receive the award. The company pays for their flights, accommodation, award night and sightseeing for 4 days – how lucky they are. So they are staying on a little longer to see more of the sights and have a bit of a break.

Today Riley was watching a

DVD of Toy Story 2

This is the first time Riley has been away from his parents for more than one night!!!
I am not sure how it will go as he is a very restless sleeper , dreams and talks in his sleep and quite often ends up sleeping with Amy and Ryan.
Hopefully by the end of his stay we will still be sane. You can sometimes forget how tiresome it can be to have such a little man around full time. He does give us so much love and lots of laughs.
Amy and Ryan return home on the morning of Mother’s Day.
