Today was a strange Saturday — much like last week. Instead of Dad getting me out of my crib, Mom did. And it seemed like a weekday as she got in the shower, got dressed, and took off. She played with me and read some books before she left me with Dad.
Dad and I came downstairs and played until breakfast time, which I devoured in no time. As usual, Dad goes stir crazy when it’s just us, so we got of the house by 8:30. It was so cold outside! We bundled up and were just about the only people in the park. It got pretty windy, so we went to — where else — Starbucks! Dad got his drink and then we headed home. We played down in the office until 10:00 and then I took my nap.
I slept until 12:00 and then ate lunch. I ate a ton — including all of the leftovers from yesterday and half a zucchini. We played and read until 2:30. Dad was impressed that I now help with the diaper changing process. I get the clean diaper, the changing pad, and the wipes. And then I put them all away when we’re done (except for the wet diaper!). Nana taught me all this!
At 2:30, I helped Dad make brownies. I sat so still and didn’t even stick my hands in the batter, even though it was sooo tempting. As a reward for my help, Dad let me lick the batter off the mixer! Mom got home around 2:40 and we played until snack time.
I demonstrated my tremendous fork skills and really impressed Dad, who hadn’t seen any of the warm-up acts this week. Dad put me to bed for my nap. When I got up Mom was so excited to play with me. We had all kinds of fun, but it was too cold to go outside.
Dinner was kind of rough, as I ended up getting in trouble for throwing food on the floor! After Mom pretended to be mad at me for 5-10 minutes, we played on my mat and had fun. I even started learning new tricks with my big pink ball.
Here are some videos from today:
A year ago, 40 minutes was a long time!
