I got up a bit on the early side today — Dad was in to get me well before 6:30. We played and read in my room until breakfast time, and I was already saying “Grandma downstairs” before we realized that indeed Grandma was already downstairs! We immediately “cookeh eggeh” and of course I devoured it. I also enjoyed eating Dad’s new oatmeal recipe (with Mom’s seasonal suggestion) of apples and cinnamon. I played with Grandma and Mom until soccer practice.
Soccer practice was outdoors for the last time this season. With the sweatshirt under my jersey I look even huger than I would normally be. I improved a bit (I was actually willing to go on the parachute this time), but I was still a bit distracted, as the videos will attest:
I think Grandma was really excited to get to see me play! After practice we went to the park and I ended up hanging out on a bridge with Dad for about 20 minutes while Mom and Grandma got some treats from the farmers’ market (the last one of the year!). I got to taste a cookie and other baked goods that were yummy. We stopped my the house on our way to Crust, which I haven’t been to in forever. I ate pretty well and then we headed back home, a skipping and a jumping:
I objected to my nap, but only for a few seconds before falling asleep pretty soundly. I got up around 3:45 and played with Grandma (including icing and sprinkling the remaining cookies) including trying on my Halloween costume, which is still top secret. If you watch the next video closely, you might get a clue, though! Around 4:30 Mom and I gave Grandma a ride to the train station. The rest of the night whenever Mom or Dad asked where Grandma was, I said “Grandma. Train. Choo-choo!”
It’s Sunday, so of course Dad and I cooked some fish, which I devoured at dinner time. While it was cooking, I played in, with, and around my laundry basket, almost falling over more than a few times:
Finally after dinner I got a bath (it had been three days!) and went to bed.
Last year Mom finally came home!
