"I love you too Auntie"

Such a cool weekend with J! Sunday we went to a church festival and it was actually a festival, not some glorified craft fair.

I was amazed! J rode on one of those flying spacecraft rides for kids, a spinning strawberry and bounced in a bouncy castle! Auntie went on the flying spacecraft ride even though J said he wanted to do it himself. I just couldn't bring myself to let my 3 yo nephew go on a ride that goes in the air by himself. :)

Once we were in the air J did fine and I remembered how much I disliked rides. It seemed to be going slow on the ground but once in the air it was going way to fast and all that up and down, yuck! I got so dizzy and they set these up for little kids! I am such a wouse.

J loved playing the games, they were the typical ones but run by the local Catholic high school kids. J won a fish! He named it "Orange" and calls it "Orange or Orangie". Orange stayed at auntie's house - I just couldn't through that loop to my sister-in-law!

He also one a blown up Blue Clues Blue and a LARGE inflatable sword that he LOVED!!!

I can't believe how much his speech has increased. In May he was just putting two word phrases and now he has blossomed and speaks in sentences. Not many irregular, mostly noun-verb-descriptor but he is doing so great!

When I put him to bed last night, I said, as I always do, "I love you J" and J actually said "love you to Auntie S"! and gave me a hug and a kiss!

How cool and wonderful is this!!!
