Chase took his Thomas pillow to school with him but told Nanaw he wanted to leave the blanket at home because he doesn't use it. Nanaw stayed in Chase's schoolroom for a few minutes and wanted to play with Chase but he didn't want to sit down at any of the tables. He just wanted to watch the goldfish. Nanaw saw the job display for the first time. On the side of the file cabinet are pieces of paper with an assortment of chores, like clean-up and prayer leader. The boys and girls each have a cutout of their hands with their photo on the hand. They sign up for jobs by sticking the hand on the piece of paper. It's a very cute system. Nanaw asked Chase which jobs he signed up for and he said he didn't sign up for any -- but Nanaw isn't sure Chase understood what she was asking. When Nanaw left Chase at school, she told him that she and Tee Tee would play with cars while Chase was at school. When Nanaw picked Chase up, Tee Tee was in the back seat, and Chase asked him, "Tee Tee, did you have a good time playing with Nanaw?" It was very cute. After school, Chase and Nanaw went to the Big Dollar Tree where Chase selected a really cute basketball game with a launcher and a yellow Hot Wheels car. When Nanaw took Chase home, Daddy was going to take him to get a haircut -- next Friday is picture day, and Chase's hair was getting a little shaggy

Tuesday, August 30, 2016

Tuesday's adventure for Chase and Nanaw was a trip to the Magic House. Nanaw thinks this may have become Chase's favorite place to visit, followed by the Train House and the Science Center. Chase got so excited when they arrived at the parking lot and kept saying, "Hurry! Hurry!" He knew exactly which way to go to get to the member entrance. Nanaw had wanted to find some displays and activities they hadn't visited very much but they ended up going to the ones that Chase liked the most. They visited the sand area, the bubble area, the water works, the air ball system, the car repair shop, the ice cream cone stand, the grocery store, the vet office, the pizza parlor, the hospital, the bank, the attic, the ball rolling system, and the replica of the Oval Office. Of course, Chase didn't want to leave when it was time to go but Nanaw told him they would be back there next Tuesday, and they would be bringing Mama with them. Mama is taking off work all next week. In the evening, Mama asked Nanaw to take a family photo for school so Nanaw took about 30 pictures. Mama sent two of them to Nanaw -- one that they were going to use and one where Chase was sticking his tongue out -- very funny.

When Nanaw took Chase to school on Monday, she stayed awhile to play with him and some other boys and girls sitting together at one of tables. They had a big box of cootie pieces that they were putting together. It was very cute, and Nanaw played with the cooties for awhile also. She took some pictures of Chase building the cooties. When Nanaw picked Chase up after school, she asked him if he had a hamburger or cheeseburger for lunch, and he said no. So Nanaw asked him what he had for lunch, and he said, "A burger." What a funny bunny he is. Chase and Nanaw went to the library after school, to return and pick up books. Chase played for a few minutes in the lighted tunnels, which he really likes. When Chase and Nanaw got home from the library, they played downstairs for awhile. Then they played in Chase's room with his farm and with his Cars cars.

Mama told Nanaw that she and Chase had another mother-son adventure on Sunday while Daddy played golf. Mama and Chase had to go back to PetSmart to exchange Sam's harness for a larger one. Nanaw came to visit Chase on Sunday evening. They played kick in the kitchen with Chase's balls -- Chase is a really good kicker so he'll probably get to play soccer when he's a little older. Mama, Chase and Nanaw took Sam for a long walk in his new blue harness. The harness works well, and Sam doesn't choke himself by pulling on his leash -- which makes Mama happy. Chase was really wild on the walk. He didn't want to stay on the sidewalk, no matter how many times Mama told him to. He kept running around, up and down the hills, and always off the sidewalk. He found two huge pine cones that he told Mama he wanted for his collection. He had Mama carry one of them, and Nanaw carried the other one. Nanaw had fun on the walk but apologized to Mama for suggesting that she and Chase go along with Mama and Sam because Chase's rowdiness.

Nanaw went to visit Chase on Saturday morning, and they went to play at the little park by the Columbia library while Mama went to the grocery store. Daddy went to help Jackson's daddy move furniture. Nanaw left to go to the little house after Mama came home from the grocery store. Mama and Chase had a mother-son adventure then. They went to Big Lots for PlayDough and PetSmart to get a harness for Sam so that he doesn't pull his neck on the leash when he's on a walk. Mama said they had a really good time. In the evening, Chase had a father-son adventure with Daddy while Mama went on an adventure for cousin Nichole's 21st birthday. The birthday celebrants rode in a 12-passenger van out to St. Charles. Mama spent the night at Uncle Mike's house and said she stayed up until 3 a.m.
