Nana 5 Minutes ok?

Savannah had another visit this past weekend! Nana came to visit YAY! She was in New Hampshire for a family reunion and had to be back in Washington DC on Monday so we lucked out and she flew south for the weekend! It's always great to have my mommy time and Savvy sure loves her Nana! My mom stuffed us to the gills with her great cooking and we did lots of swimming. I was so proud of Savannahs swimming skills so I couldn't wait to show my mom all she could do in the pool! It was a super hot weekend (not a shocker since that's the norm in July) so we spent most our time floating in the pool. Since it was such a hot weekend we went for Ice Cream at Brusters...YUM! Did you know you get a free cone if you're under 38"??? Complete with sprinkles??? How cool is that? It was the perfect ending to a perfect day! The 5 min title has a funny story behind it. Savannah is in the phase where EVERYTHING has to be her idea, no matter what it is. She especially doesn't like having to take a nap. So my mom thought of the great idea to set the timer and when the timer would go off Savannah would be able to know it was "time" to do whatever it is we want her to do. So my mom would say "ok 5 min and when the timer goes beep-beep your time is up ok?" This worked like a charm and Savannah would pop right up and head to her room. This 5 min phrase took off and everything she does now is "5 min ok?" its hilarious! I recorded her saying this and it's now my moms ringtone! ha ha! The visits are never long enough and I wish we had them more often but we really made the most of our time. We can't wait for Nana to come back in October!!! We also made muffins for our breakfast one night which was very fun. Savannah is quite the chef, she loves to stir and add in the ingredients...such a fantastic helper. Daddy snapped a cute pic of her excitement while cooking. Love to all and hope you had a great weekend!

Love,
