Dennis and Chloe had a wonderful time at Hadden's and Katelyn's birthday party today. Dennis loves those little guys, and he picked out a toy garbage truck especially for Hadden and educated him on its finer play points after he'd opened it. We ALL enjoyed watching Hadden tear into his birthday cake, eating big handfuls of it while Katelyn much more delicately licked icing from her fingertips. They are such cute and pleasant babies!
We spent the remainder of our day at the lake with Gran and Gigi and the Gallmans, watching the guys install new light fixtures and hang a television. The kids played well together and most especially enjoyed spending time with Gigi. Dennis absolutely did not want to come home tonight, begging Dave to go home with them instead. We heard the same refrain most of the way home: "I really want to go to Chloe's house and then go to her Papa's house and play with his toys" (David explained that Chloe had been telling Dennis all about her Papa). And when we said he couldn't, he said he wanted them all to come stay at our house.
Dennis' bag of party favors included a little piece of construction equipment, a kind of front-end loader thing with teeth. He peeked into his bag and yelled with delight "I got a Jaws", and he would not be parted from that toy for the remainder of the day. He also kept track of the pencil and eraser, but there wasn't so much drama over it. Tonight when we were trying to convince him to come to the car peacefully to head home, he asked "are there any special toys waiting for me at home?". I replied that he had hundreds of special toys at home! This didn't stop him from asking to look at the 'boy toys' at Wal-mart on the way home.
