A Tale of Two Sisters


It has been a great month for the little guy. For one thing, he got to see both of his sisters. Aunt Rochelle came to visit us from NY and then we went to Atlanta so I could go to homecoming for my alma mater while Jordan spent some time with Aunt Traci. It was so cute watching the two aunts try and get Jordan to like them. Jordan is two years old. He likes everybody and desperately wants everybody to like him. All you have to do is give him attention and he is your friend. I told that story a few months ago about the kid who tried to take the tricycle at his birthday party. Jordan still tries to get that kid to like him.





So anyway, this was Rochelle's first time seeing Jordan in 14 months. He was just waking up from his nap so he was pretty sleepy.






Soon enough he was going full speed and had Aunt Rochelle chasing after him.








I enjoyed the rest.








We decided it would be a great day to go to the beach. I would just like to take a minute to complain about this. It is 90 degrees outside, halloween is in 2 days and I'm friggin tired. Some people may be reading this when it's cold out, but I am jealous. Summer shouldn't last 6 damn months! Anyway, we had a great time at the beach.




This was 2 pm








This was 2:15 pm









This was 2:30









Of course Aunt Rochelle played games with Jordan in the tunnel. Then she played with Jordan at the beach. Then it was time for Jordan to learn some of Aunt Rochelle's games.








I think she learned this one in college. After Aunt Rochelle went home we had a party. One of Jordan's friend's turned three so we had a party for her at our house. However, we had her do the cooking...








What happens when you mix three toddlers, three pots, and three spoons? Nothing that you would want to eat.

Later that week we went to Atlanta to visit Aunt Traci. Sort of. She had to work that week so I actually don't have a lot of pics of them together. We spent the first day visiting the Children's Museum. This is him walking in the museum for the first time.









He loved that place, but I can't really say that he learned all that much. He already knew how to do this.




At the end they had a buy come in a teach the kids how to play instruments. Guess which one Jordan liked the most.




Of course if you have a toddler in Atlanta you have to take him to the aquarium. This was the first fish he saw. He acted like he usually acts. He didn't run away, but he didn't run closer. Didn't scream, but didn't laugh. He doesn't get too far but not too close. You can't see his face but you know he's thinking a mile a minute.




This was too cute. There was a tunnell around the back of this tank for the kids. However, Nama had to go back there too to show Jordan where the camera was. Otherwise he would have just run right through the tunnell without even slowing down. Thanks Mom.




And of course Aunti Traci got to spend a day with Jordan too. When you are a parent you expect your siblings to spoil kids rotten. I expected Traci to give Jordan Ice Cream, and soda, and stuff like that. Apparently, she was content feeding my son a crayon.

It's not my fault the boy is a picky eater. Hot dog? Noooo. Crayons? In a heartbeat. And remember this when it comes time for pre-k: he has a taste for paste too.

There is no better spiritual rejuvenation to me than watching the same videos of ya'll over and over again! And while Jordan is the star of most of them, I mean all of you: hearing any of your voices, catching a glimpse of any of you...it warms this 400-miles-away heart to my soul. So I guess I'm just dropping in to say: I LOVE THE MESS OUTTA YA'LL!
