Vacation at Grandma's House

Will and I spent the weekend in Covington before we started our respective vacations this week.  We had a fun weekend with visiting the Street Scene car show on Saturday and going to the West Virginia State Fair on Sunday.  On the way home from the fair Will was suddenly able to snap his fingers and actually make a noise!

Will chose to spend his money at the fair on a toy instead of a ride (smart choice - I was proud).  He picked out a beach ball on a stick that he called a punching ball.  The quote of the day resulted when he wanted the ball hung up so he could hit it.  He suggested that mom could use tape to hang it up and mom told him that was a good idea and that she had some duct tape.  Will was quiet briefly then asked "How will we use duck take to tape down a duck?"

Will enjoyed checking out all the cars at Street Scene on Saturday.

Mom's neighbor won this little race car in a raffle at Street Scene.  He came
over and took Will for a ride in it, which Will absolutely loved. 

Today Will went to spend the night with Jenny, Craig, and Brittney, and I left to drive back to PA.  Jerry and I are taking a road trip to Maine and through some of the New England states while Will visits with Jenny tomorrow then mom and Kristen the rest of the week.  I am so excited to have some time alone with Jerry, but it was so incredibly hard to leave Will today!  Even though I know we are all going to have a great time this week, I just miss him so much already!!! 

When I called Jenny to check on Will this evening she told me I left out a key part of Will's care instructions when I sent my email earlier.  (Yes, I have turned into the paranoid mother who sent a VERY long email to mom and Jenny detailing Will's schedule!)  Apparently however, I neglected to mention the very specific way Will likes his peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.  (One piece of bread with just peanut butter, folded in half and one piece with just jelly, folded in half.)  A huge meltdown resulted when Jenny served him a normal peanut butter and jelly sandwich!  Thankfully Will's "Nenny" knew just how to fix the problem and she promptly got out the peanut butter, jelly, and bread and told him to show her how to make one the "right" way.  Of course the fun of spreading the gooey PB&J immediately ended the meltdown!  Score one for Jenny!!
