What a fun weekend, good times were had by all! We had, yet another, birthday party for Thayer and this time it was at home and with all his little daycare friends around. What I realized was - he has no little boy friends. none. All little girls. He had 7 little girls at the house playing with him on Saturday. SEVEN! no little boys. Chris and I are thinking that we will take him to one of those little baby play places like Gymboree (sp?) so that he can meet some boys. Not that he does not enjoy his girlfriends, but one day he will need boyfriends around to talk about his girlfriends :) Thayer got some excellent toys too, and we heard them all day on Sunday.
It is fun to watch him, as we slowly leave the room to pay attention to laundry or dishes, as he plays and laughs to himself. What a little man he is becoming. I look at pictures from a year ago and sit in wonderment at how different he looks, how much like a little person he is with thoughts and ideas of his own. What a great joy it is to be a parent. Best thing I have ever done. Greatest thing in my life!
This weekend we are off to Breckenridge, TX for the annual Cooper Brown Scholarship golf tournament. We missed last year because I was not able to be more than a hour away from the hospital, but we are excited for Thayer to meet more friends that he will see on a annual basis. It will be a change though that I usually caddie for Chris and this year I will not be able to. But, I am sure all the old stories will be told, songs will be sung and more memories made. I wonder if Mr. Weatherby is still alive, and if he is, will he share another Jack and Diet Coke with me. Boy, that man makes his drinks STRONG!
