Thankfully there was only one short-lived meltdown before Kaden resigned to the fact that plane was full and that he was going to have to sit quietly on my lap for our two flights into St. Louis. Amazingly, he did it!
We began our trip in Warrenton by spending two nights at mom’s house.
Looking deliriously happy to be with grandma!
Between watching all of her animals, playing with Kyle’s old toys, climbing up & down a full set of carpeted stairs, getting to go to Jennifer’s house to play with kids his own age and getting to be cuddled to sleep by grandma, Kaden had a BLAST!

Although Jennifer and I are now vastly outnumbered by small children, we still manage to get together and catch up for several hours every time I come through Warrenton. Seeing her is always one of the high lights of my entire trip.
We had one warm day before the weather got the memo to immediately switch from summer to fall. Mom/grandma decided to fill Kaden’s baby pool one last time before closing it for the season. That morning I sat down with my coffee mug and watched the ice-cold hose water fill the small pool. Before I got a chance to process what was happening...
... a fully-clothed little body was lumbering over the edge, eagar to get into the water.
Although the freezing water momentarily took his breath away, he must have decided the positives outweighed the negatives because he stayed IN to play for a bit...
