I woke up this morning and totally forgot that it was Memorial Day! That meant that Mom and Dad were home all day to have fun with me. Mom got up with me and we read in my room before I was screaming too loud that Mom was afraid that I would wake up Dad. Mom and I went downstairs and played before having breakfast. Around 8:00, Dad came down looking very refreshed and grateful to Mom for letting him sleep in!
Dad took over and Mom went up to take a nap. Dad and I played down in the office (so that my screams wouldn’t wake up Mom!) until nap time. Dad put me to bed and when I got up I was so excited to see that Aunt Claire was visiting! She was so excited to see me and I didn’t even give her the cold shoulder! We played together and then we went to Feast for brunch to celebrate A/C’s being a senior in college!
There was a long wait to get a table, so I walked up and down the street, hung out with other kids I saw, and had quality time with Mom and A/C. I had a great meal because I got to eat Nana’s zucchini! What more could I ask for?
As we walked home it started raining, so Dad and I (in my stroller, of course) ran ahead to beat the rain “falling on our heads” (in Mom’s words). Where else would rain fall, I wonder?
We all played together until my snack and nap. I shrieked when I got up and Dad got me out of my crib. Mom and A/C had run out to get a movie and — shocker — Starbucks. There were almost home, so Dad and I sat at the front door and watched for them to get home.
I mostly played with Mom and A/C until dinner, which was a disaster of sorts. I didn’t like the lentil burger (that I loved at my birthday party) and wouldn’t even eat the succotash, which is usually automatic. I did like the mint yogurt sauce (that was supposed to go with the lentil burger!).
As usual, I had to help clean up for going to bed:
A year ago, I was playing with A/C, too!
