Well now comes the time when we have fun with JJ. We were at their hotel room and JJ was playing on the bed, trying to figure us out. We bought him some gifts for his first birthday; 2 thick page books, 1 a Thomas the Tank Engine book and Goodnight Moon, a Thomas the Tank Engine stuffed animal that's about as big as him, and a red beanie baby dog that was started by my grandma/his great grandma. He liked the stuff and began to get used to us.
Now it was dinner time. We went to a fish restaurant that was close to their hotel, and a Meijer. My mom realized we forgot to get him goldfish, so after I put my order in I ran to Meijer to get goldfish. But first there was some funny thing, I forgot to look what I wanted to eat. The waitress came and I was like "oops, forgot to decide on something." I chose a cheeseburger. After ordering I ran over to Meijer and first looked at the videogames to see if they had any Amiibo I didn't have or if they had Pikmin 3. They didn't. Then I went to the crackers to look for goldfish. It was buy 2 for $4, so I got regular goldfish for JJ and flavor blasted goldfish for Uncle Pokematic. As I was walking out of the aisle, I realized that maybe I should see if they had baby goldfish, they did, so I exchanged the regular for baby. It was perfect for his little hands and mouth.
So now I'm back at the restaurant, goldfish crackers in hand. I sit down and visit with my uncle because at that point my brother was playing with JJ. Not to much longer after I got back did our food arrive. As Jules says, "it was a tasty burger." After visiting and eating, my brother and I switched places so I could play with JJ. He really enjoyed drinking my water from my straw. He also enjoyed moving my plate around so he could get a good look at it; but I had a hold of it so he couldn't knock it off the table. He stuck his hand in my ketchup. Good thing I was done. He just wanted to try ketchup, so I dipped one of my fries in it and let him have it. He already had enough plain fries from my brother, so he wanted one with that red stuff I dip mine in. He was interested in my bracelets, so I let him play with my paracord bracelet, but I pulled it away when he wanted to start chewing on it. I know where my bracelet has been, and months of not washing it means it was dirty. Yeah.
One fun thing is that my cousin, JJ's dad face timed us because he was doing something with work in Canada. JJ heard his dad and wanted to see the phone. He really liked that, and it was really cute. "I hear daddy, I want to see daddy" was what he was probably thinking. He held on to the phone and saw him, I had to help with moving his thumb from over the camera, and close the home screen and calculator app a couple of times. It was really sweet.
So after dinner we went back to the hotel. JJ now knows us pretty well. When at the Hotel JJ reached out for me to hold him. So I picked him up and he enjoyed it. My mom said the funniest line of the night; "[Pokematic] be careful with the baby, we don't even trust you with the good China." Yeah I don't know if I've said it in my previous Thanksgiving blogs, but at Thanksgiving and similar china plate events, my grandpa and I are the 2 eating off normal plates because we can't be trusted with the expensive plates. I held him well though. Then my brother took him and he enjoyed that. We got a nice picture of us with JJ. After my brother my mom took him and he enjoyed her, but when mom got him close to my dad, he gave the "uh oh, I don't know about that guy" face and then wanted to go back to his mom, K.
That was basically our time with my nephew. He liked us and we liked him. Well this has been Pokematic, signing off and bu-bye.
