Eric's mom came to visit last week. We all had a very good time. We were able to take Maddie to the park and take Maddie to the zoo for the first time! Of course we also walked around town, went to the locks, and cruised the Ballard Sunday farmers' market. Karen was also happy to babysit, giving Eric and I a chance to go out without having to pay a babysitter. Even though Maddie is approaching the age of separation anxiety, she didn't miss a beat and continued to play, smile, and laugh long after Eric and I were gone. It also gave Karen the opportunity to relive the joys of dinner time, story time, and bedtime. Of course there was lots of down time when Maddie was napping and gave us all a chance to chat and catch up. Maddie unfortunately had a cold while Karen was visiting, but she still pulled out all of her big smiles for grandma! All in all, it was a good visit and it reminded us of how much we wish all of our parents could get more time with Maddie.
