Chase and Nanaw had an exciting evening on Saturday. Mama and Daddy went to the Brew House at River City Casino with Aunt Kristen and Uncle Chappie and other friends so Nanaw got to baby-sit with Chase. Chase was in a wonderful mood -- he was his cheerful, fun self, and Nanaw was so happy about that. He's been less than healthy for several weeks and that's made him fussy and cranky. He's finally getting better. First, Chase and Nanaw went to Walmart to buy kettle corn in the kiosk outside the store -- they were doing a fund raiser for the Children's Miracle Network. Nanaw bought a bag for Chase and her and a bag as a present for Mama. Next, they went to Dollar Tree and Nanaw bought Chase a tiny guitar, some stuff like Play Dough that bounces, and some rubbery guys with sticky stuff all over them. Then they went to McDonald's for dinner. Chase selected the booth for them to sit in, and during the time they were eating, he tried out several more booths and tables -- it was very cute. They went back to Nanaw's house for awhile where Chase played with his new things from Dollar Tree. Around 9:30, Nanaw finally took Chase home -- yes, it was past his bedtime but they were having fun, and Nanaw didn't want it to end. Nanaw put Chase to bed, and he said he only wanted her to read one book, Peppa and the Big Train. He had Nanaw plug in his night light, then said, "Come on, Nanaw. Time to go to sleep." So Nanaw had to lie down next to Chase. They said his "Now I lay me down to sleep" prayer, and he added another name, Holly Shiftwell from Cars 2; he also added Lightning McQueen and Mater.
