This spring has been a wild and crazy one.  We just returned from TN visiting our daughter who was supposed to have a baby on Memorial Day!  We stayed for a week, but nothing happened! She is still waiting! Arghh! I feel sorry for her! 

We had lots of fun getting to know our granddaughter, "Rosy"! She is a go-go girl.  "Nana, nana, nana!"  "Meowmee, Puppy, baby!" This she happily repeated over and over again. "Brrrrm, Brrrm" She would immitate if she wanted to go in the families car to go somewhere.  She inevitably wanted Nana to sit by her.  I sure was feeling "Naniated!"  I had to fill the spot in my heart.  It is so hard to be far away.  I made the most of every second I could stay awake.  I actually found myself quite sleepy while there.  I do not know if my body was letting down, or "Rosy" actually tired me out!

Seth just could not wait for the baby to "come out of Sarah's body"  He just knew it should very, very soon! "When will the baby come out of your body, Sarah?" Poor Sarah, she did not relish that question....Before we left to go visit, Seth told everyone he met that we were going to see his sister and that a baby was going to come out of her. I just get a kick out of hearing him describe things. 

Yesterday he asked a cute question.  He actually had  put a lot of thought into it. Just some background insight.  We are going to go on vacation to hike Yosemite, Tahoe, and Sequoia.    "Mom, how are we going to get to California?"  "We are going to fly" I stated.  Pause.  "Where are we going to go when we get there?"  "Yosemite National Park, Lake Tahoe, and Sequoia National Park." I answered.  Pause.  "Well, we won't be able to travel anywhere."  "Why, I asked?"  "Because our car will be at the airport!"

"Very good, Seth!" I applauded.  "We will rent a vehicle with our friends when we get there."  "Oh,   "Well, I was just thinking that in my heart, he said so innocently"  That just touched me.  Another day with a bright spot.  He was thinking and pondering in his Heart!"  I told him that the heart is your feelings and emotions, your mind is your thoughts.  I don't know if he gets the difference, but at least he is expressing himself. That is one of autisms weakpoints, explaining what they are thinking.  It can come out so impressive, or so tied up in knots!

While at our daughter's, we went out on the boat, of course, on the lake.  It was a pretty decent day compared to the other rainy days.  Seth wanted to wear his hat.  Can you believe he forgot his sunglasses?  Oh, when I told him I couldn't believe he actually forgot his sunnies, the look of surprise that came over his face was humorous!  I was worried that the  wind would blow his hat off and he would lose it in the lake.  He hung onto his AZ hat pretty tight, even when we were stopped.  I will post a pic. 

"Rosy" had never gone out in the boat before.  The wind caused her to shut her eyes and off to sleep she went!  Well, she spent some time in wonderment and putting her feet in the water, first.  I could not believe how much sun we got on us in a short time.  I guess the lake reflects pretty good.  Oh, you can be sure that I put a lifejacket on Seth.  He sinks in the water.  It is kind of a scary place to be. 

I can't wait to post about our trip.  Keep waiting and checking .  I realize I got into a major slump with jotting.  Sorry!

Until Next Time, don't forget your sunglasses, hang onto your hat in the wind, and enjoy the great outdoors,

Nancy Lynne!
