Chase had a major adventure on Friday. He, Mama and Daddy went to the Cardinals' baseball game with Jackson, Aunt Jen and Uncle Joe. Mama says Chase and Jackson had a really good time. Mama bought popcorn for the boys -- a refillable batting helmet full of regular popcorn mixed with caramel corn (Note from Nanaw: Delicious popcorn -- Mama brought some home and Nanaw ate some.) During the fifth inning, Jackson fell asleep in Uncle Joe's arms. Everybody left during the seventh inning -- fortunately the Cardinals won. Nanaw came to visit in the early evening. Chase had just awakened from his nap, and he was sort of grumpy. Eventually, he cheered up -- especially when he started watching his Richard Scarry DVD. He made himself comfy in his Madagascar chair to watch TV. He also decided to play with his rocking horse Seabiscuit -- Nanaw suggested that Seabiscuit could attend Mama's Belmont Stakes party next Saturday.

When Nanaw arrived at Chase’s house for her Saturday morning visit, Chase was in his high chair, finishing his pancake breakfast. Mama told Nanaw that Chase had a great time playing with Jackson Friday evening. Jackson is babysitting a friend’s fish, and the boys enjoyed watching the fish. After he ate his pancakes, it took Chase awhile to finish his milk, but when he was done, Chase and Nanaw went into his room. Mama got him dressed and then he and Nanaw played in his room for a long while. They turned out the light, and Chase crawled into his closet. They played with Chase’s flashlights and the flashlight on Nanaw’s iPod. Chase drew on his drawing device and showed Nanaw how he could change the colors on it. After Nanaw left, Chase, Mama and Daddy were going out to Wentzville to visit Grandma Pat and Aunt Patty. Then they were going to visit Uncle Chris, Aunt Kristen, cousin Cessie and cousin Elias in Silex.

Chase had three major adventures today. The first was a trip to the Train House. Nanaw forgot her phone and iPod so they had to go back to the car to get her iPad so she could take pictures of Chase. Chase spent most of his time playing at the train tables but this time he also played a little in the kitchen, on the school bus and with the puppets. He also sat down at the craft table with Miss Linda and made a mail box -- very cute. Miss Linda was so happy that he sat down there on his own, without any prompting. When Chase and Nanaw left the Thomas Tables room, Chase said "Goodbye, Miss Linda" all on his own -- it was very sweet. Chase and Nanaw rode on the train, and then they left to go to Powder Valley, the second adventure of the day. Unfortunately, it started to pour down rain so they couldn't walk on the trail as they'd planned to do. But Chase had a good time exploring the displays inside the Nature Center, especially since they'd installed several major new displays since last Friday's visit. After his nap, Chase went on his third and final adventure of the day. Mama and Daddy came and picked him up -- they were going to spend the evening at Jackson, Uncle Joe and Aunt Jen's house. Chase was very excited about seeing his best friend Jackson.

First thing in the morning, Chase wanted to watch Cats and Dogs again so Nanaw got him all set up with a big pillow and yogurt for a snack. Thursday's adventure was a trip to the Telegraph Road Library for Story Time with Miss Kim. Today's stories and songs were about bugs, and Chase seemed to enjoy listening, singing and dancing around. (Side note: Yesterday Chase invited Nanaw to his "dance party" -- very cute.) The craft was decorating a bug jar with stickers. After Story Time, Chase played on the touch screen computer at the library. Next, Chase and Nanaw went grocery shopping at Walmart. Chase was in a really good mood and was a delightful shopping companion. When they got home, Nanaw found a spider made out of pipe cleaners that Chase could put in his bug jar. He played with the spider and the bug jar while he had lunch and then when he and Nanaw went downstairs to play with trains. Chase also watched a little bit of frozen. Mama went to a happy hour after work and wasn't home when Chase got home so he said, "Mama went to buy me a special." A "special" is what he calls presents that Mama buys for him -- very cute.

Chase and Nanaw spent the day at home playing and watching movies. After breakfast, Chase brought some of his vehicles from his room into the kitchen and was playing pretend games with them. It's interesting to listen to him talking and making up conversations -- very cute. Chase brought the DVD for the Cats and Dogs movie to Nanaw and said he wanted to watch it. They watched it twice, with Chase laughing and giggling throughout the movie. After the movie, Chase and Nanaw went downstairs to play with the trains. Chase did his pretend game thing again, talking and telling stories. When Nanaw took Chase home, they went outside with Mama for Chase to play. Daddy was golfing and Chase was disappointed that he wasn't home. He said, "After golf, Daddy come home." Chase played with his bubbles, and then had Mama and Nanaw sit in chairs on the patio so they could all play train.

Chase and Nanaw weren't able to go to story time at Tuesday Tails because Nanaw had to go to the dentist. Chase went along and sat in his stroller, playing with Nanaw's iPad. He behaved absolutely perfectly and was very cute and charming -- quite the hit with everyone in the office. After the dentist, Chase and Nanaw stopped by Nanaw's church to pick up a CD to put on the website, and then they went to the library. Chase had fun playing on the touch screen computer and playing with the puzzles and blocks. As usual, he didn't want to leave but Nanaw promised him ninja turtle treats and that did the job. In the afternoon, Uncle Mike came to cut Nana's grass, and Chase was excited and happy to see Uncle Mike. Mama and Daddy went to the Cardinals' game so Chase spent the evening with Nanaw. For dinner, Nanaw and Chase went to get McDonald's, and Uncle Mike ate dinner with them. Nanaw and Chase took Tyra for a walk in the cat stroller after dinner -- Mama would have been horrified. She thinks the cat stroller is embarrassing. After Uncle Mike left, Chase took a really long bath in the deep bathtub, much to his delight. Nanaw kept warming up the bath water so he could stay in a while longer.
