To The Chase!

Aside from watching him sleep, watching him eat (especially bananas...it's so darn cute I tried to get video this morning, but the little goober got full around the time I thought to grab the camera!), and pretty much just watching Nicholas do anything, there is something I love to do with him. We enjoy a good chase. For now this is an easy task on me (unless he heads to the tile kitchen floor...his knees have much more padding than mine). I am a little afraid of what it will be like when he's walking and then running, though...and we're getting close. I've seen (as have others) a few tentative steps lately.

At any rate, our chase routine usually involves me telling him "I'm gonna get you" to which he responds with a big grin and then proceeds to crawl as fast as he can on his hands and knees toward his bedroom (or the living room if the chase starts in the bedroom). I follow going either fast or slow depending on my mood (this morning was slow with some piggie grunts for effect) and when I catch up to him, I either kiss him, tickle him or nibble him (usually while making piggie noises on this last one).

The super cute part of this game is it is quite obvious that Nicholas wishes to be caught. If I don't catch up soon enough, he actually stops, turns around and waits for me to catch up and then giggles incessantly while I tickle, nibble and kiss him. It's so nice to be loved.

Yesterday I hung out with my brother and Nicholas. We had fun...and for dinner Doug's girlie Lea and Mark joined us. Lea is helping as Mark's assistant at the office. It was nice to visit with them.

I guess Mark and I are going to have some couple time on Saturday evening. Not sure what we are doing but a friend of mine who dubs herself Nicholas' rent-a-grandma is going to come watch him. I'm sure we'll make good use of our time.

And, tomorrow is my second Grand Opening Celebration for my Scentsy business. I am hopeful that Mark and I will be able to make some phone calls so that I have a few more attendees than the first one. I guess Doug and Lea are going to come watch little Nicholas since Mark also has a class he needs to attend. It promises to be a busy day, I'm sure.

Finally, I discovered I can do fundraising type stuff with my business so if anyone is interested in something of that sort, please let me know. I'd be thrilled to help with that.
