Weekend in Review

We went up to Auburn this weekend, to visit my mom and some old ski buddies.  We stopped by my grandma’s house first, since, as she put it, “I haven’t seen your kid in awhile”.  So, had dinner there, waited out traffic, saw my cousin Marc before he drove down to LA after spending a summer here, and oh, yeah, played Mah Jong.  Marc wanted one last game before leaving. Dave and I took turns playing, but since Brandon wanted to play too, we had to open a separate set to give him a few tiles to play with.  We mostly stacked them on top of each other like any other blocks, but since I had a captive audience, I started teaching him characters.  He comes from a family of MJ players, so he might as well learn early.  We started with the Bok-Bahn (window), which he was good at saying and later recognizing out of a bunch of tiles.  Then he mastered the “bird”, 1 of bamboo.  He sat relatively still while on Marc’s lap, but we warned Marc, to be careful that he knows some of the tiles already and may give them away. 

After we were done taking each other’s money, we left to drive up to Auburn.  It took us 3 hours to get up there!  No traffic, but there was construction so that caused some delays.  We finally got up there, and went right to sleep.  Brandon had already fallen asleep long before, almost as soon as we headed off.  He continued to sleep even after laying him down on the floor.  We had an aerobed that we set up out in the living room.

We are still trying to figure out what makes Brandon scream out at school, but wakes up only mildly upset at home.  So, with the new setting, when Brandon woke up the next morning, he sat up and looked at the fireplace and said, “Hot.”  That was it.  No crying, no fussing, nothing.  So we acknowledge him, and I proceeded to feed him and he was good!  After that, not quite sure what happened, I kept sleeping, but apparently lots of things took place.  Brandon went swimming for an hour, Dave washed and waxed the car,  and I think everyone had breakfast.  I had a haircut that day (finally) and we had old ski friends coming into town for a BBQ.  They are my mom’s friends, but have been around ever since I can remember mostly on ski trips.  They were also bringing friends over, so in total, we had about 12 people there.  While the “grown-ups” talked, we took turns pushing Brandon around on his bike, and kept him semi-entertained outside.  It was pretty warm outside, about 90 degrees at the warmest, but we had a shady patio umbrella and a water mister.  On Sunday, we had breakfast with two of the women who had stayed over since their drive was several hours.  They were sisters.  We ate breakfast outside in the backyard and they were talking about being on a farm and farm animals.  Rooster came up and Brandon, who had been playing with his food, looked up and said, “Cockadoodle-doo!”  We didn’t even think he was listening or paying attention! 

We then drove out to visit Nevada City and Grass Valley.  While we were at lunch, Brandon had crayons and a coloring book provided by the restaurant.  It was perfect!  Kept him totally entertained; well, that, and the crusty bread.  He must have been pretty hungry, because he was stuffing it his mouth, but the crust was pretty hard.  He was also pointing out all the horsies in the mural behind our table.  The sisters drove home from there and then we headed off to find a hike.  We went to Clementine Lake in Auburn and tried to find a trail, but it was scary carrying Brandon over a sloping with slippery rocks.   It may have been better if we had a carrier, but even then, the ground was unsteady and sloped a bit, so it just didn’t seem safe.  So we just looked at the dam from afar, which was still pretty scary.  Long drop!  We bought a pie from a local fruit stand in town, then went back home.  We were trying to wait out traffic on this end too, so we had our small “family get together” since the usual “family night” was cancelled, much to my dismay.   The drive back was uneventful, mostly because Brandon and I were sleeping!  Thanks Dave for getting us back safely!
