Can't Touch This

This week John's mom has been visiting us from New Jersey. It's been great having her here and Beckett adores Grandma Pat. She "got to" take Beckett to treatment on Thursday and has been helping us a lot with babysitting (we actually went on a DATE), cooking and all kinds of stuff. Today we had a birthday part for John (40th!) at the park. We had great fun seeing everyone and Beckett ran around the park with Ruby and Charlie (the twins of a friend of mine). There were two major hits of the party: My friend Elaine, gave John one of those audio birthday cards that plays "U can't touch this" when it opens up, and Alex, his brother, gave him a card that plays monkey noises when you open it. Ever since we got home, Beckett has been playing with MC Hammer and doing a little dance as he plays it. When I tried to hide it before bed, Beckett forlornly asked for "Purple Card" for 5 minutes before we figured out what he was asking for.

Now he's sleeping with both cards cuddled up next to him and I am waiting to be awoken to MC Hammer at 2 am. (If that happens. I am calling Elaine.)
