Micah spent most of the week with Nana, while I worked my first 5 day week of the year. So while I am busying hoping Micah stops growing so fast, he continues to decide to become a big boy. This week, he decided he is too old for the infant car seat in the stroller and likes it much better if he is strapped in the big seat facing forward. He also is getting way too good at sitting up and pushing around on the floor - mostly backwards or around in a circle (though he did go forward once for Nana!)
Grandad joined in the family fun on Thursday evening, and he and Nana brought Micah to school to see my students this year for the first time on Friday. Micah stayed with me after school for a meeting and sat listening very attentively in my lap. The teachers in the meeting joked that he had better eye contact and listening skills towards the speaker than their students did! He was a very well-behaved little boy.
On Saturday, Micah and I decided to join Nana and Grandad at the outlet mall for some shopping before they headed home. Micah and I both walked out with a couple of things for ourselves :) Then, Grandma and Grandpa Rodgers joined us late on Saturday evening and spent Sunday learning the ropes of Micah's schedule for their week with him. So far, Micah has really enjoyed their dog Kali (and thinks her barking is hysterical) and the balloon they brought him to play with (he loves to shake it). More updates next week on their week with him!
