I was surprised to see Dad again this morning (a Wednesday AND a Thursday?). I made breakfast quite a challenge today. I fought against the amaranth and peaches, but Dad finally won by putting little pieces of strawberry on each spoonful of amaranth. I’m a sucker for strawberries! By the time we were done battling, though, I had food all over myself — from head to toe!
After breakfast I went over to the shelves with the bibs and took them off, counted them and re-stacked them (with help) several times. We sang lots of songs (one of Grandma’s favorites is “5 Little Monkeys”) and I’m starting to know that ducks go “quack.” I’ve also figured out how to open the baby wipes and we spent a lot of time practicing open and shut and also playing peek-a-boo with wipes!
After my nap, we had a difficult lunch. I finally finished the rice noodles from yesterday and I was kind of ambivalent about the guacamole. (It’s important to note that Mom LOVES guacamole and in fact it is her one culinary specialty! But this guac recipe was from my special cookbook and made by Dad; I’m sure I would have loved Mom’s version!)
But the highlight of the day was Aunt Sarah’s arrival! Dad decided to let me stay up past my bedtime to see her. Aunt Sarah got here as fast as possible and pulled in just a few minutes after 7:00. I hung out with her for about 15 minutes before Dad took my upstairs for my bath and put me to bed.
