We made a quick stop in Yellville to visit Great Grama Bernie yesterday before stopping in Harrison to hang out with the other Grandparents.
Aylin had a blast in the short time we were there. She loved the doggies (a previous post), especially Buddy. There was lots of "Hi Buddy" accompanied with waving. Bernie also broke out a big blow up Santa just for Aylin which was very interesting. Great Grama Bernie also has an old toy chest with neat treasures and a child's size rocking chair. Aylin enjoyed playing with all of the stuff in the chest, as well as bringing books to Bernie to read. Although it was a short visit I'm glad we made it out that way.
Aylin's also figured out "JOE!" and Linda, who for some reason she calls "Bub-ba". She seems to be a lot less likely to be scared of strange men, too; Robert and his buddy Payton were there, and while she was a little unsure about them, she didn't run screaming back to me (Jeff). We figure that's progress.
