2008_10_30 Thursday

Today is a beautiful fall day (finally!!). The air is nippy, but it's not bitter cold. We woke up, had McHardwicks for breakfast, and then moozied to the library for storytime. I've got to figure out a way to keep a hat and gloves on this kid; he particularly hates hats, but he'll tolerate mittens since he can't get traction to pull them off when his fingers are stuck inside!

So, storytime is only 30 mins long, so they squeeze in a couple of songs and a story or two. It's cute, though. Today's theme was Halloween, of course. He was quick on the draw for the black cats, yelling out "meow!" any time he saw one. Afterward, Jonathan completed his second masterpiece. And, we explored the kiddy section of the library, to include its puzzles, train set, and fish tank. On the way home, he gave me the sign for milk (a rare one for him to do), and of course I didn't have any, so we improvised with juice. close enough. And, it seemed like anyone who has a dog in Maplewood was out, so there were lots of "woofs" coming from the stroller. At home, we had a little snack, chased a balloon, read part of a book, and he went down for his nap.

He slept for 4hr 15 min! Boy, that kid can nap! Jonathan got a Halloween card in the mail today from Danielle and Pat. We ate a quick linner (lunch/dinner), swung by the local playground at the elementary school (where we saw lots of airplanes), and then picked up Dave at the train station. They've fed the cats and played out any residual energy. Dinner was cheesy noodles from last night and fruit, and Sir Jonathan is tucked into bed.

I've also uploaded a handful of pictures from the last few days, including a video. Feel free to browse Picasa if you have some time. Plus, you can now subscribe to this blog!!!
