I woke up on Thursday and for the second day in a row I woke up to see Grandma Droste! We got dressed and played peek-a-boo in my room with my puppy (who needs a name, by the way!). We watched the birds in the trees and noticed that it was a much nicer day than it’s been in a long time. We knew we’d be spending some fun time outside!
Breakfast was a bit messier than yesterday. I really fought to hold on to my own spoon, which caused food to go flying, but I got (most) everything down. After I ate, I played with my bibs, the dish towels, and the plastic ware in “my” cabinet. Then we walked to Dominick’s to get a few things and Grandma let me buy a new balloon to go with the two that I still have from my birthday! I couldn’t decide between the frog and the rabbit (I mean, come on, they both go “hop hop”!), but I eventually decided on the rabbit.
After lunch, we celebrated the beautiful day by spending time in the yard. I’m really starting to appreciate how nice it is to have our own space to play when we don’t want to go to the park. I worked with Grandma planting flowers but I also played on my slide:
While we were outside, Mom came home! Yay! I hadn’t seen her in 8 days and I missed her so much. Of course, the three of us spent a lot of time playing together the rest of the day. She gave me my snack and put me down for a nap. When I got up, I was so happy to see that Mom was still here! But she was so jet-lagged that she could barely function! So she took a rejuvenating shower while I played with Grandma until dinner. Then it was bed time. I hope Mom’s here when I wake up1!
A year ago was my first night away from Dad!
