Memory, Grandparents, Good Times

We were at Publix today when Sawyer recognized a little boy from the Y. He kept yelling out, "Owen, Owen" and pointing to a little blond haired boy walking in with his Mom as we were walking out. He is so good at recognizing faces and names it surprises me sometimes.

Sawyer also seems like have a memory like an elephant. He remembers things that I've long forgotten that happened months before. We had a cobweb on the ceiling in the living room. When Cliff pointed it out, Sawyer told him to go to the garage to get a broom and clean it. lol.. He saw Cliff do this once 6 months ago. He also remembers events that happened a year ago. His brain is like a sponge right now soaking up everything around him. It's so exciting to see him grow into his own little person.

Grandparents were here visiting this past week. We really enjoyed having them here and Sawyer LOVED playing with Nani (his nickname for Grandma)! Every morning he would jump out of bed at 7:30AM and rush into the kitchen to find her. He loves Nani so much and was extremely upset when he discovered she'd left Tuesday morning. He asked me, "Where's Nani?" when he couldn't find her. I told him I drove her to the airport early that morning (5:45AM!) because she had to go home. He cried and said, "Please brush my hair and make me handsome. I want to go to the airport!" It broke my heart to see how sad he was.


While they were here, Cliff and I went out for the 1st time by ourselves without Sawyer! First time in almost 3 years! We went out to celebrate our friends Jen and John's last week in Florida. They moved to Indiana this past weekend. It felt good to be out like old times without having to worry about Sawyer because I knew he was in good hands! This is reason #2 out of 575 why living near family is so important!
