Men at Work

Sunday afternoon, I woke up from my nap, and guess who was opening my door with Mommy? GRANDMA ROBBIE!! I haven't seen her since Aunt Hannah's big wedding party, when she and Tom took me for rides in the elevator. I talk about it all the time but I have really, really missed them. We had such a great visit. We played and played. Mom and Dad thought that part was especially awesome.

Tom tickled me and I laughed so much!

And Grandma Robbie and I had some really good talks. She gets me.


Then Tom said he had a present for me. I tried to explain that just having them come see me was my present but Tom said no, don't you want your air compressor? I said, "Cody have an AIR COMPRESSOR?" and everyone laughed and laughed. I'm not sure why. But look at this piece of amazingness:

It comes with TOOLS! More tools!

And it comes with a paint gun! (Everyone giggled when I said "Cody hold the paint gun please?") I think every little boy should have one. It whirs and spins and makes an awesome noise.

The most amazing part is that there is a drill attachment. Tom showed me how to work it and then I drilled EVERYTHING, even my belly button!


Grandma Robbie was a little nervous about the drill but I told her not to worry. I'm a workman. I know what I'm doing. Tom told her to relax because we are men, and we just instinctively understand about stuff like air compressors and screwdrivers and drills. Tom gets me, too.


What could possibly go wrong?

And if you can believe it, there was even MORE. Hannah and John brought me a THOMAS train and some tracks! It is so cool! And a whistle that goes "TOOT TOOOOOOOOOOT!" and a conductor hat!

There were a bunch of parts to put together. I figured it was probably better to let the grown-ups do the work.

Thank you all for such a great visit! I have been talking about you all the time, and I love you, and I miss you, and I can't wait to have another visit!

And another thing .... look at that adoring look for Grandma Robbie ..... aren't we so lucky? Someday he will roll his eyes at us, so I'm loving this time when he thinks we're the greatest!
