We were very fortunate to have my mother come out the day after Lyla was born. She stayed for 3 weeks and was a huge help. The first week she was a huge help to me at the hospital and driving me back and forth. The second week she took Ramsey and I since had to teach a course in Moab. We never would have imagined that this course would get in the way of having the baby! And the third week, she was here to help us get settled after Lyla's homecoming.
This was on mother's day. I arranged for my mom to participate in Lyla's bath and have the opportunity to hold her for the first time. It was a wonderful evening!
Grammy spent most of her time entertaining Ramsey. Ramsey is still pretty obsessed with garbage trucks and dumpsters. He literally screams with excitement when the garbage truck comes. He also likes to walk around and look into the dumpsters to see what is inside. And if they are full, that means the truck is coming soon!
They also had a ton of fun going to the playground, riding bikes, reading books like Wacky Wednesday (and acting it out), and playing hide and seek. But best of all, Grammy gave us a huge head start on the potty training. We now have a potty tracker on the wall. Ramsey gets a sticker every time he goes potty. We hope he gets the hang of it soon!
