Grandma, you make me nervous

We had a fun filled weekend and of course, it included time with Tizita. We started the festivities on Saturday with a birthday lunch at John's mom and dad's in New Berlin. We were celebrating his mom's 79th birthday.Tizita helped Mamaw open her gifts and spent some time visiting with Pops.After we left John's folks we spent some time at Alissa and Nathan's. Courtney, Paul, Alissa, and Nathan were planning a night out on the town so we got to bring Tizita home with us for the night.

On Saturday night, we let her direct the activities. She told Gigi (Great Grandma) to lay on our bed, told me to sit in the rocking chair, and told Grandpa to lay in the bed with Gigi. He refused to lay down with his MIL so I was telling Tizita to have him lay on the floor and to go get him a pillow. At this point she sort of put her hands to her head, looked at me and said, "Grandma, you are making me nervous!" Now, what two and a half year old talks about being nervous? Is she amazing or what? Anyway then she told us to all wake up because we were going to the zoo. Gigi and I sat on the couch and she looked at Gigi and said, "Move over Gigi, you are sitting by the driving wheel." Who knew? Then Tiz proceeded to drive us to the zoo. The night continued with more silly play directed by Tiz until bedtime. She went to bed very well for me and slept until 7:30 on Sunday.
We went to churh and she enjoyed the children's choir singing "Jesus loves the little children" and "He's got the whole world His Hands." When they were done, she said, quite loudly, "Again?" But, alas, there was no encore!
We went to Perkins after church for lunch. Kev, Pam and Mal joined us. John and I very rarely go to Perkins due to a few bad experiences and expensive menu, but it really was a nice lunch. Tizita had chocolate chip pancakes which she devoured. John and I both ordered off the senior menu which saved us some money. I am a legit senior, John is not, but he looks like one!

Mallory wanted to go to Ebert's Pumpkin Patch for a caramel apple so Gigi, Pam, Mal, Tiz, and I headed out there.Tizita made a little pumpkin with buttons and sequins. She also did some pumpkin bowling and went fishing for a toy but, by far, her favorite activity was the bounce house.'At first, she had no clue what to do in the bounce house, but then a girl about 8 offered to help her and there was no looking back from there. She bounced and bounced and fell and bounced some more. It was so much fun to watch her. I think it may have been the most fun she has had in her life thus far!

So, here is our little pumpkin amongst some real pumpkins.
It was indeed a most wonderful weekend. Tizita has just come so far in one year and I am really sorry I made her so nervous!
Oh, and by the by, Mallory got a caramel apple and so did I and they were yummy!
