First Thanksgiving
Warning: boring mommy documentation post ahead.
The boys' first Thanksgivings were fantastic. We celebrated at Hubby's parents' Thursday, then hosted for my parents, brother and girlfriend, cousin, niece and two great-nephews.
On Thursday, the boys played with their older cousin and generally had a blast. Scampy said his name for the first time, and both babies walked and walked some more. After failing to take a nap all day, Impy fell asleep at the table. Scampy took a nap in early afternoon, and sat at dinner socializing (e.g., happily sitting in his chair, drinking water out of his straw cup, occasionally babbling, and pulling at the tablecloth).
Today, the boys played with their older cousins-once-removed, stole their cousins' binkies (and had theirs stolen in return), and romped around the house (all baby gates were in use to segregate dogs from unfamiliar visitors). Impy fell asleep at the table after fighting a nap all afternoon (he did try some stuffing before he fell asleep with his mouth hanging open - hee!). Scampy took a nap in early afternoon, and hung out binking and drinking water during dinner. He gave Daddy a "what the hell do you think you're doing?" look when hubby dared to offer some stuffing. Scampy does not approve of rampant food experimentation. Later, Impy walked up to Grandma and spit out a piece of kibble -- ptooey! Errrr, yikes.
Both days, our babies were repeatedly bowled over by their older, toddler cousins. Neither cried once -- we speculate that since they're used to dealing with a very sweet but clumsy-pushy 105 lb dog, a few strapping cousinly types are nothing. Despite recent inlaw problems (and permanent drama between my brother and niece), everyone got along swimmingly. Plus, hubby cooked a stupendous dinner.
I'm bursting with thanks.
