I got up a bit earlier than I have been the last few days – 6:15 – and Dad got me up at around 6:30. Still no Mom! Mom, we miss you!! I woke up with a huge poop and Dad was so happy! I think he was afraid that two whole bananas in the last couple days might back up my system.
We went downstairs and a few minutes after Dad and I started playing, Grandma Droste came up the stairs! I was so happy to see her and greeted her with a big smile and plenty of claps. Dad had to leave and so I had breakfast with Grandma. It went well, though I didn’t like my egg nearly as much as I usually do and I insisted on holding — though not using — a spoon throughout the meal.
Grandma and played, read, and sang together after breakfast. We even looked out the window, but it seems that most of the dogs and babies didn’t want to be outside in the cold either.
For the last few days, I’ve been allowed to choose which book I read. For my naps, I always pick Pat the Bunny (before bed, I always pick Goodnight Gorilla!) and today was no different (Mom also decided that I get to pick my own socks in the morning and my own pajamas at night – now that’s responsibility!) However, I finally put a stop to this modified pacifier thing. Grandma put me in me crib with this green pacifier with 1/4 inch of the tip cut off and I protested. Not like civil disobedience, either. This was all-out war. I was getting a fully-functioning pacifier! Sure enough, I won. In fact, I got so riled up that I didn’t go to sleep for another hour — after playing with Grandma in her room for a while.
Lunch was kind of boring, mostly because of the potato that Dad cooked. I mean, a sweet potato is yummy, and sweet. A potato is just poo, with a tat in the middle. To make my point clear, I started throwing food on the floor, until eventually Grandma gave me some blackberries, which I devoured.
My schedule was kind of off, but Grandma and I had fun playing wth all my toys, including the blocks, the lion, and the teapot. Again, I rejected the faux pacifier and this time Grandma relented after just a few minutes. I got up a bit after 5:00 and pretty soon it was dinner time. I ate almost everything I was supposed to and then played with Dad until bed time!
Here is a quick video before bed time:
I slept so much more last year!
