This weekend Alexander's friend Gracie had her 1st birthday party. He was of course invited because we (the parents) have arranged for him and Gracie to be married some day. So, with gift in hand we headed to Gracie's grandparents to enjoy an afternoon of snack foods and sugar! We had so much fun. Ricardo and I played corn hole and watched Alexander play around in their beautiful yard and of course watched the dozens of kids run around trying to get into trouble. Thankfully, their house is kid friendly...after all they have like 100 grandkids so Alexander could crawl wherever he wanted and everyone enjoyed watching his wildness. Ya, can't keep a little boy down, that's for sure. Gracie was just adorable with her pink shirt and little black tights. Alexander tried to paw at her at one point. We didn't realize just how much of a boy he really was until we saw him around a bunch of babies and got a glimpse of just how not graceful he was climbing over the kids to get to the toys. BRUTE! And, an embarrasing moment occurred for Ricardo and I...Alexander attempted not once but twice to kiss one of the little girls and it wasn't Gracie. Oh, how mortifying! Poor little Sophia didn't know what was coming. He was going in and when we told him to stop he did but went back in for another smooch. I have never felt my face get so hot and Ricardo actually put his head in his hands out of pure embarrasment. Everyone got a good laugh but now Mike, Gracie's dad, has the eagle eye out on Alexander and Melissa, her mom, is rethinking our arrangment. :)
