Grandma Gets to Show Off Her Grandson

Chicago Trip - Day 9

In the afternoon, Caiden and I got to drive down to my Mom's office to finally introduce him to all of her coworkers. They've gotten to know him pretty well thru this blog, but still hadn't met him in person yet!

Wouldn't you know it, the moment he walked in, he had quite the audience catering to his every whim. Agnes even found him a beloved vacuum to play with!! He impressed all the ladies with how quickly he figured out how to turn it on and off. Everyone was asking when they could book him to come over and vacuum their houses. :)

What cracked me up the most was watching the president of the company get a kick out of playing with Caiden! He kept giving him high fives and Caiden would keep calling out to him to get his attention again. So cute!

Later that afternoon, I made my requisite trip to SWM and got some fixings for dinner. I made some salsa chicken, cous cous and broccoli for Mom and Dave. It was really nice cook for them and have a nice dinner together.

Mom, Caiden and I headed out for another walk around the block with the dog. Caiden kept asking to hold the leash, so we passed it over to him and he had the best time getting pulled along by her! I so wish I had a video camera with me! He'd be holding on to her leash, she would get eager to move along and give him a little yank, and he'd let out a peal of laughter in delight! It was just the cutest darn thing! While out on our walk, we also encountered six frogs! Most of them were itty bitty little things, but we also saw a tennis ball sized one near the end of our walk! Even Jackie was freaking out over it! Caiden had no problem bending over and picking up one of the little guys. He held it for a few seconds and then gently placed it into the grass. Again - so wish I had the dang camera!

After our walk, I left Caiden with Grandma and went over to Niko's restaurant to meet up with Jerry and Linda who are expecting their first baby on the first of the new year. I hadn't seen them since I was pregnant with Caiden and it was great catching up with them! Always lots of great laughs with those two! I wish we could've hung out longer, but I had to get home to put Caiden to bed.
