Yea, Easter.
Drove down with Jenna’s parents and Cooper for a few-hours day visit on Easter sunday. Hunted eggs, and Cooper ran around the “Castle Park” with yet more new friends. That kid is EXTREMELY social, and loves to play with other kids. I may have told this story on here before but back when he was about 3 years old, my mom took him to a take-out Mexican restaurant to pick up some food. As she went up to the counter to order and pay, he finds another family, grabs a chair from another table, slides it over and sits down with them, just chatting it up like nobody’s business. I wish I was that non-shy when I was his age!
Anyway Jenna was fine, she is really doing well. We are still working on getting her to be more independent in preparation for her coming home. She is supposed to do her own laundry, etc. (I may have mentioned this before.)
Going back this weekend for another visit, with Cooper. Was going to go the weekend following this one but Cooper has an all-day field trip that friday and that would mean we’d get there at night and he’d be exhausted. This way we get there in the early afternoon and can enjoy the rest of the day together. Downside is that the next visit will be at a greater interval away due to financial constraints mostly.
