Fun time at the lake!

A family that comes into the Nut invited Davey & I to their lakehouse this weekend. We had a great time and Davey had some bonding with Stacey & Oliver Cooper. They are super generous and complimented Davey several times on his good behavior. He seemed to really enjoy getting away and the boats were his favorite. He had been on a pontoon boat- but not a speed boat. Couldn't tell if he liked it or not, but he wouldn't go out on the sea-doo with me- not the dare devil quite yet. He played with their dog, Buzz, and formed a like him/scared of him relationship thru the weekend. When we were leaving he started to cry and I asked him what was wrong. He said, "I miss buzz." I told him we would see him again. We were pirates seaching for a treasure on the lake, and found the best treasure, friendship, with the Coopers. (pictures to follow)

Davey & I spent the day together. I can't remember when I laughed and smiled more in one day. He is past full sentences and on to stories. When he runs out of things to say the "make-up" words start flowing. He has also uses his hands and turns them over and over above his head. (I'll try and get a picture of this)
We went swimming at Six Flags early and then came home and spent time playing our favorite things including flash cards, puzzles, reading books, and of course playing trains. (He now lets me touch the trains, b/c I come up with fun stories, like Sir Topum Hat goes to the hospital, the bridge colapses, Gordon has a wreck)

Davey runs the Base!

We went to the Braves game last night. Of course Davey's favorite part was riding the Marta to get us there. We went last year, but drove and parked for an outrageous amount of money. This year, we did what the locals do. Marta to a shuttle and back. He enjoyed the game and all of the activity of the fans. The "wave" started and he couldn't quite get the hang of why everyone was standing up and sitting down. He loved the music and the tomahawk chop. The stadium has a whole kids area where they can run a base. Well Davey took matters into his own hands- he decided instead of waiting in line, he ran in front of about 7 kids in line and jetted off down the sideline. The funny part was that he turned around and headed back, a security guard grabbed him and I was screaming "that one's mine!"
We had a fun time and Davey was very proud of himself!

Took Davey to Dallas for a tradeshow. I had researched a steam train ride from Dallas to Ft. Worth. Can you say "loved it"! I don't beleive he stopped smiling the entire time. It took about 1 1/2 hours each way and it was 103 degrees in the shade. But he was in heaven. Getting off the train proved to be drama b/c he simply wanted to live on the train.

My little engineer! Any train, Anywhere!
