Hall of Fame Induction

Mimi and Anna came back down again this week, this time with Granddaddy, for his induction into his high school's hall of fame.

We had a hard time convincing Josiah he needed an afternoon nap. He finally conked out while eating a snack on Mimi's lap. I think our womanly chit-chat lulled him to sleep. Mimi had his shirt made for him; it says, "Big Brother." She had one made for the little brother too!

After he woke up, he gave out some good post-nap snuggles. Granddaddy took him for a walk outside on his shoulders because Josiah had a blister on one foot and refused to wear both shoes or a band-aid ("they're sticky!").

The ceremony was pretty long, so after the dinner, Josiah and I wandered around the high school with another mom and toddler. Josiah was so tickled with this one-year-old. He would throw his toy on the ground over and over, and Josiah thought it was so funny to give it back to him again and again. It's nice when toddlers are entertained by things that annoy their mothers.

We came back in for Granddaddy's acceptance speech and Mimi had some lollipops to occupy Josiah. He would lick it, put it down, take a sip of water, repeat. He didn't even come close to finishing either of the two she gave him, but it sure is a good quieting tool for him!

Dr. Moseley accepting his award. He quoted from E.B. White's Charlotte's Web and thanked the various "Charlottes" in his life.

Grandmother has already been accepted into the same hall of fame as a teacher at the school. Dr. Moseley looks like he's about to kiss his Robert E. Lee statue...sorry about my camera timing :)

Happy Grandparents!
