Otto Meets His Great Grandmother

Last weekend we drove to Wenatchee with my mother to visit my grandmother. Can't believe she's 92 and still lives on her own. What a joy for me to see her holding him! This was Otto's second time meeting his Great Grandmother and I'm sure he was more aware this time around.

It was Otto's first "Apple Blossom" event, a long standing tradition in my family since Grandma Joan was an Apple Blossom Princess many years ago.

On Saturday Otto went to his first parade. We sat at the beginning under some shaded bleachers. I was a little disappointed that Otto didn't appreciate the horses and bands as much as I thought he would. He spent the whole time looking at a glittery dress worn by a young girl a couple rows ahead of us. I'm not sure Otto could see far enough to enjoy the parade going by. He did quite well otherwise.

The lucky kido also got to meet his second cousin, Amanda, for the first time. He loved her and especially enjoyed drooling all over her. Amanda was very good at getting him to smile and giggle at her. It was fun for me to watch them together.

We of course had to take a 4th generation photo, so here it is: my grandmother, my mother, myself and Otto.
