Last weekend we took Greyson to his first ever parade. It was the 63rd annual armed forces day parade. We have never been to it but learned that Bremerton has the longest running armed forces day parade. While it was kind of rainy and cold, Greyson enjoyed it and even got filmed by fox news! I watched the news and he didn’t make it on TV, but he sure was cute waving his flag and clapping for bands as they came by.
It was a busy day since we left the parade early to go to the beach (well a local beach on the sound) to look at sea critters. We found lots of crabs and even a millipede (OK I didn’t see it but Stacy showed people it and said it was a millipede. Anyway it was something that looked like that). After coming home for a bit we then headed off to Poulsbo for Viking Fest. Needless to say we were pretty tired after the weekend. This weekend we are making plans to stay close to home and relax as we are all feeling pretty tired.
Tonight as we got home from church the radio was on. When Stacy went to pull Greyson out of the car she heard him singing quietly. This is what she heard…..”Her hair, her hair, falls perfectly without her trying
She’s so beautiful, and I tell her every day” For many of you that may not mean much, but it is a popular song on by Bruno Mars that plays on the radio (apparently quite a bit!) and Greyson seems to have picked up the lyrics rather well! It is so fun to hear all the little things he has picked up and to be able to understand many of the things he has been saying for awhile now. Every day we see new ways that he is growing and learning and we are reminded of how tremendously blessed we are to have him in our lives. As the song he was singing goes on to say, Greyson
When I see your face, there’s not a thing that I would change
Cause you’re amazing, just the way you are
And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while
Cause you’re amazing, just the way you are.
