I got up around 6:00 but it was a good twenty minutes after that before Dad came in and got me up for the day. We went down to the office to try to be as quiet as possible so that Mom could get some rest.
Here I am dancing…with myself:
I had a delicious breakfast — I still love my oatmeal — and then Mom came down and joined the fun. The first game we played involved playing with my “Rock-a-Stack”:
Then we played hide and seek:
After my nap, it was lunch time and Dad was desperate to get me to eat my parsnip & parmesan dish that I rejected last night at dinner. Apparently he and Mom are big believers in positive reinforcement:
Before my afternoon nap, we made a family trip to Oberweis; it was our first trip of 2009 and I expect there to be many, many more. We pretty much went every weekend last fall until it got too cold for ice cream. I colored with Dad in a coloring book and then explored the joint with Mom:
We got home and I ate a snack and got ready for bed. I took a really, really long nap and I woke so late that there wasn’t too much time to play before dinner time (in fact, we started dinner ten minutes late!). Dinner took a while (the positive reinforcement bit wasn’t quite as effective this time). Dad gave me a quick bath and got me ready for bed.
