What an awesome summer it's been so far. I was telling Stephen last week that if I don't write things down I feel like I will forget them... and usually do. I seem to have a bad memory and remembering this stage of Grey's life is important to me so here are a few things I want to remember.
He really loves the people in his life. Lately he goes around the house saying momma, dada, papa, nana, dada, papa, nana, mama, mama, mama. Then he will look at me with a bewildered look and say papa? like where did that guy go? He also loves toter (Walter), Ma (Mia) caca (Melissa), and today for the first time said Grandy (my mom) or a version of it.
We have come to the realization that discipline time is about to start! He's started to look at me and throw his cup off his tray or other "defiant" pushing his boundaries behaviors. I was talking to my friend at work who reminded me that if he doesn't push boundaries, it means he doesn't have any and won't learn any so it's good and just be consistent. I'm just praying I do well with this and raise a well behaved child.
We are moving soon. The house hunt almost wore me out - physically and emotionally. We found 3 houses we loved and put offers on them to be told by 2 that they were no longer selling their house. But our journey led us to a great house that has a lot of potential and room to improve in a great neighborhood. We are excited to be settled into it but for now we have to pack up our sweet Delmar home. I'm a little sad to leave this house. We've been here 6 years since we got married and it's been such a great house for us. I am however not sad about leaving the neighborhood. It's not bad... but not great and people dont really take care of their homes and lawns so a change in scenery is welcome!
We had a wonderful vacation with Stephen's parents in Mexico. We stayed at the Hard Rock Riviera Maya that used to be Adventura Spa Palace (where we stayed on our honeymoon) It was so relaxing and fun. We enjoyed swimming every day, going to the beach, eating a lot of food, going to the spa, getting massages, and just spending time together. Greyson learned to say "hola" while there and would say it to everyone who passed by. He was quite a hit with the people by the time we left.
