The grandma world tour made it’s last stop in New York this week to the delight of little Sienna and the other NY Menous. Grandma flew in late Tuesday night and stayed till mid afternoon on Friday. It was a short stay but we had a nice time anyway.

Wednesday

Sienna was so excited to have grandma back. She woke up and asked to go wake up grandma. Having done so, she reintroduced all her stuffed toys. They played a bit then we had breakfast. I wish grandpa was also visiting. it’s too bad he didn’t want to go on the trip..

Later that day, we went shopping..

Leaving Target

We ended up having lunch at Olive Garden. My mom really likes it there. The food was good. We had the best pink lemonade. Sienna didn’t make too much of a mess.

Next stop Home Depot. This isn’t a good place for toddlers to run around in. Too much crap all over the place. People just aren’t paying attention. Who can blame them. It’s a friggin hardware store!!! She did find something to do though….

Thursday

Sienna had her usual gym class. I don’t get a chance to go because of work but since i had taken a couple of days off for my moms visit, we both went to gym class with Sienna.

I can see how this place would be so much fun for kids. There is stuff to climb on, stuff to jump off and scamper across. there is padding all over the place too! Sienna only participates in class when she feels like it. Most of the time, she just running around with that little Italian kid following her, GRRRRRR.

Later, we met up with Lisa’s parents to have Dim Sum.

This was the day that grandma had to go back home. Her flight wasn’t till 2 so she had some time to make us a nice Jamaican breakfast of fish fritters and johnny cakes. They turned out great!!
