This past weekend we had Matt's father and step-mother (Pepere and Memere to Amelia) visit for a few days. As usual I totally forgot to take out the camera, so I have zero pictures. They came in late on Friday, so Amelia didn't see them till she woke up. It took about five minutes for her to warm up to Memere, and about a day to fully warm up to Pepere. Once he allowed her to use him as a jungle gym, she was totally in love. Amelia made them play with her new Legos she had gotten for her birthday. There were a couple of sets she got, so occasionally the elephant went on top of a cupcake, but for the most part she kept the sets separate when she played with them even though we had dumped them all in one bucket.
Everyone (minus me) went out into DC and visited the new monument to MLK Jr, the Library of Congress, the new Capital Visitor Center, among other things. They also went past a Tea Party Rally and Pepere wanted to go talk to them, but decided to stay with the others instead. I don't have a fully itinerary of where they went because I was out of commission on Sunday with a sinus headache and then was in Chicago on Monday for work. Tuesday Pepere tried to see the space shuttle from our yard, but unfortunately couldn't catch a glimpse of it. I was working on and off during they day, so they got to spend almost the whole day alone with Amelia. I think they were ready to go back to RI on Wednesday to get a little rest.
Amelia had a cold the whole time they were here, but we didn't think much of it. At one point she complained about her ear, but the next day it was fine. Of course after sending her to school we got a call to come pick her up because she was complaining about the ear and had a fever. So, we were back in the doctor's office less than a week after being there for her physical. Thankfully she didn't crack her head open, but she did manage to meltdown for about 15 minutes in the waiting room. Because the appointment was in the later afternoon, most of the other patients were high school kids. I'd like to think we did them a service by providing visual and auditory birth control. After an ear infection diagnosis, we were on our way to pick up the antibiotics. I told Amelia that we had to stop and get her medicine, and she said "Ok, go to CVS." I think we may spend a little too much time there.
