The Grandparents (plus one great-grandparent) was a success. I know they had a great time and enjoyed experiencing Raffi in person, instead of over a web cam. My father and I played a little par 3 golf, while my mom babysat. On Saturday, Doug and I had a date and saw the latest Batman movie. We came home to Raffi taking a nap on my mom, it was so cute. I sadly didn't take as many pictures as I have on previous visits. Of course, there was a lot of eating of food and dessert, especially chocolate cakes (from various restaurants.)
My parents could probably better describe their visit, but Raffi had a blast for sure. He was going a mile a minute talking and running around. He always kept an eye to make sure someone was paying attention to him and loved to play peek-a-boo with the grandparents. Raffi also had some amazing conversations with my 92 year old grandma Audrey. I'm not sure this week can compare with the last, with his favorite audience gone.

Grandma Kathy logging in my report: Raffi is an absolute delight and an entertainment festival. He is so beautiful, cute, amazing, inquisitive, ...darling! Of course I'm prejudiced but truly, he captures your heart. We see qualities of learning quickly and having good concentration skills. On our first evening there, I was sitting on a little stool below Darcy's candelier (spelling?) in the kitchen. Raffi was babbling away, pointing and telling some story of great interest; accompanied with scrunching up his nose and various grunts (remember Cousin It?). All of a sudden, he walked over by me, looked up at the candelier, looked at me, raised his arms for me to pick him up and when I did, he grabbed the candelier. He purposefully planned to get to the candelier by standing on my lap. I thought that took planning and figuring out a solution. Well, it's hard to be home away from The Raf (and his parents too!) but the web cam will have to do for awhile. Just color me enthralled.
