Electric Carts and Target

Friday afternoon Jackie headed back to VT after moms doctors appointment. Mom got the gigantic splint removed and got a regular cast put on. Dad is going to miss the mother of all casts. That thing was HUGE. The good news is now there is room to sleep in the same bed with mom. So 5 more weeks and mom will trade the new fancy blue cast in for a walking cast! We wonder how ugly that thing is going to be?


Friday night was uneventful as usual. We we have neglected to tell everyone about was that Charlotte is now rolling on her own. Sounds great....but in the end it just means she is even more squirmy and wormy. She also loves to now throw her head back. Dad is doing his best to hang onto her and is ever paranoid that he is going to drop her. Mom still cant carry her so we don't have to worry about her.

Saturday morning the Mom< Dad, and Charlie went for a shopping spree at Target. Ha ha ha. They have these lovely electric carts there for old people etc that mom got to cruise around in. It was pretty funny mom trying to drive an electric cart around target. What was even more funny was when mom got stuck and had to back up....suddenly all you could hear was BEEP BEEP BEEP! Dad and mom almost peed themselves it was so funny. Charlotte did.

So our adventure at Target was fun. It was nice to see mom having some fun again.

The rest of the day mom and Charlotte played in the living room together. Dad was busy doing work around the house....mostly trying to fix the driveway. After 8 wheelbarrows full of dirt and sand he was exhausted and only half done. He will finish the rest during the week. At least he got the lawn mowed.

Sunday dad tried to celebrate mothers day for mom again. This time he made breakfast and a gourmet dinner for her. He was also called into the living room by mom to check Charlotte out. She was sitting up on her own!!!

Soon after she took a nap in her swing. Sideways. Not sure how she didn't fall out but she managed to say in the seat.

After dinner dad also gave Charlotte a bath. This is the 2nd time he gave her a bath on his own. She really loves to drink the dirty soapy water. This is the expression on her face after.
