This morning, we got up and went for a walk down to whole foods down the street. We were trying to get Brandon tired out for Sierra and Rob’s end of summer BBQ. We needed some milk, and we went to get a dessert and wine to bring. I apparently don’t pay attention to start times on evites, because I thought it was at 12pm. We were trying to put Brandon down at home to no avail; 1230pm or so is his usual naptime. We knew he’d be kind of cranky if we didn’t get him to sleep. We decided to be “fashionably” late and arrive at 1245pm or so. Of course Brandon fell asleep on the way over, but it only took us 20 minutes or so to get there. When we arrived, it didn’t seem anyone else was there. That was when I started having doubts about when the BBQ was supposed to start. Brandon had woken up in the transfer from car seat to stroller, so I walked him a bit to get him to go to sleep. Dave reparked the car and then went inside to offer assistance. Brandon was wide awake and said, “Bye-bye Dada” not really knowing what was going on. Dave called me when he was inside to say that there was no one in the house besides Rob and Sierra and when he asked, Sierra said the party was to have started “around now.” It was about one or so by that time. The stroller ride was not working; it never seems to work for me, maybe I’m just not that patient. I even did a few laps up and down the street and looked at some houses for sale. I bent down under the canopy to check him and he was wide awake clutching his sippy cup with both hands. He looked a bit confused since he probably didn’t recognize our surroundings and was wondering what happened to Dave. I went back to the house so Dave could work some magic.
I got to see the amazing backyard and got a tour of all the embellishments that had been made since Rob and Sierra moved in. Some pretty neat stuff – the outside grill, beer “on tap”, the aviary (yes, I said aviary [just no birds there, yet]), the converted SF street lamps and seating everywhere! I asked Sierra when it was supposed to start and she said, “1pm.” (Oops, we were a little early! Dave was right that something seemed a bit off and that maybe I misread the start time). At least it wasn’t way off. So Dave finally came back, but Brandon still refused to go down. He was a little out of it, but that quickly changed as we got him out of the stroller. He started to explore, found the stash of balls hidden behind the garbage and the speaker. Carlos’ 3-year old twins showed up and that was fun to see. Evan and Nathan are identical twins, and I think Brandon probably thought he was seeing double. I don’t think he’s met a pair of twins before. They were playing on the deck, up one set of stairs, down the next. Brandon tried to keep up with them, but wasn’t as quick. The brothers would wait for Brandon to keep up, the rush around and do it all over again. Then at one point, Brandon was too slow and they raced around got behind him. They brought a stuffed Leo toy and a Little Einsteins activity toy. Brandon seemed to help himself to it, and Evan and Nathan were really good about sharing it, luckily. We exchanged toys as we let them borrow the piggy bubble machine. They really got a kick out of that! It was perfect. We got to see other babies – we met Cyan and Chase for the first time and got to see Arianna (who we hadn’t seen since Brandon’s birthday – wow, she has totally changed) and Isabella again. I had a chance to share breastfeeding experinces with Heather, again reminding myself how hard it is and questioning if I could be as diligent the next time around. After eating lunch, we figured Brandon would be ready for a nap. So again, Dave went out to push him around. I got to chat with Yas and Pete about Cyan, and no sooner did I look up than Dave was pushing the stroller into the corner, with just two little feet poking out of the stroller, motionless. Aah…victorious! But just at that moment, it seemed the party had moved to the deck area, away from the back BBQ pit area. Dave and I realized over dessert that we both couldn’t leave the area, otherwise we wouldn’t even hear Brandon. Yes, the backyard is quite extensive and with the music and chatting, he was out of earshot. Luckily there were plenty of other new parents who have trained ears to crying infants and toddlers. Abel was keeping his ears open for us while we checked out the dessert table inside. Brandon had maybe an hour of sleep in before he probably tried to flip over as usual then realized he was stuck and freaked out. I took him out and he was back to the usual quiet self, trying to get re-acquainted with people again. That melted away as he saw the twins again and again with playing on the deck. This time, the three had food stains and were a bit dirtier and dustier than they had been when they first got there. Yes, the joy of having sons. After playing some more with his bubbles, we asked him if he was ready to go. His answer, “No.” Yes, we agreed that Rob and Sierra’s was a great place. Brandon didn’t want to leave the backyard (and neither did we). We were finally able to gather up all our stuff (we almost left the stroller) and leave without too much of a scene from Brandon. Many thanks to Rob and Sierra for opening up their home and inviting us over for good food, good friends and fun. Next time, we’ll stay for DDR and Guitar Hero! It only usually works if we are at home, and we play after Brandon is asleep. We will do Hot Pot Part Deux and have a Guitar Hero gameoff!
