oreos

Ada spent the weekend at her Grandpa Ott's house while Elliot and I were up in San Francisco for a wedding. We spent the two weeks prior talking up Grandpa's house, and how he had a beach nearby, and had stairs, and how he always had grapes, and of course there was Grandpa - who is just super cool. Ada bought into this and all week leading up to her overnight adventure every time we asked her if she was looking forward to going to Grandpa's house she nodded very emphatically.

The weekend went off without a hitch. Ada slept on schedule and didn't even mention Mommy or Daddy once! Was it the stairs, or the beach, or the grapes? Well I think that had something to do with it, but the real secret was that Grandpa gave Ada almost unlimited access to Oreos. Now, Ada has had Oreos maybe one other time in her life. She has had Oreo like cookies and crackers before, but we try to keep Oreos out of the house because Elliot and I would probably polish off an entire bag of double-stuffed in a couple of days - and THAT is not a good thing.

So when we showed up at Grandpa's house yesterday to pick up Ada she seemed a little torn. Happy and excited to see Mommy and Daddy again but also a little bummed out that she was going to have to leave Grandpa's with the stairs, and the beach, and the grapes, GRANDPA - and of course the Oreos.

For those that want to see Ada in action, Grandpa took a little video of Ada as evidence that she really does love Oreos.
