Today was quite unusual, especially for a weekday. I got up with Mom and she hung out with me until Dad got up and dressed. I played with Dad until breakfast, when he made the mistake of having his bowl of cereal while he tried to feed me. I threw a fit until he let me try his food and then I threw a fit because I wanted to eat his oh-so-sweet goodness! Nana came around 8:00 and Dad went down to the office to work. Nana and I went right out to the park for an hour of fun before coming back and reading a bunch of books.
Oh, before I forget, here are my favorite pictures from April:

Around 10:00 — my usual nap time — Nana and Dad loaded up the car, put me in my car seat (with a pacifier and Puppy) and off we went. I fell asleep, of course, but when I woke up we were in Bourbonnais at Nana’s and Grandpa’s house — where I have only been one other time.
A nice family is moving into their house this weekend and we went to grab a few of our things. I was in luck, because instead of finding an empty house, the new family had already started moving in. And man, do they have some fun stuff!
Dad’s old bedroom has been turned into a veritable fun room, with a huge princess-tent in the middle. And everything was pink! I even got to have a picnic in the front yard — it’s amazing how quiet it is and how loud the chirping birds are.
We left just in time for me to fall asleep on the ride home. When we got back, Nana took me out to the park for a quick evening workout. Mom was home when we got back and she fed me dinner (while Dad interrupted trying to kiss me — I had to put an end to that!). Dinner ended when I threw food on the floor, but the fun resumed with farm-playing, book-reading, and ball-throwing. I bit the ball a couple times (hey, better than Dad’s leg!) and before long it was bath time (three days in a row — what gives?) and then bed time!

Last year I celebrated the end of a poop watch.
