What the?! Jonathan woke up at 8am today. Stupid Daylight Savings. ugh.

It's a pretty drab day so he's dressed in his cammo sweats. We had hearty breakfast of milk, cheese, strawberries, kiwis, fruit yogurt, sunflower seeds, dried blueberries, and maybe a Cheerio/Kix or two. Gesh, he was ready to party this morning! After I got my shot of coffee, we hit the road to pick up a Fisher Price farm set, courtesy of Grandma Cathy for Halloween. We've got all the parts, and the farm itself has sections that make animal noises and sing. Jonathan is loving it. See picture. Plus, we also got tractor that doesn't really go with the set, but we'll pretend.

I got confirmation today that Seton Hall University's Habitat for Humanity will come on Nov 8 to rake our yard for a donation (I shared that nugget with my mom's group too). Hurrah! They're checking to see if it's tax deductable, but either way, a good cause.

He went down for a nap around 11ish and it sounds like he's waking up slowly (it's just after 1). Oh how wrong I was...he got up at 2. We did a warm lunch, and then we got onto my ToDo list. We stopped at one of my freelance gig store reports in town, mailed some letters, deposited a check, got Jonathan into story time again at the library, and picked up a couple of groceries (hoping for homemade soup tonight).

He's back down now for his second nap, albeit a bit later than usual, and he's not off in slumberland yet. Hard to tell if he really slept much for this nap. But, we made it to the train station to pick up Dave. We showed dad our awesome new toy, banged on dad's birthday balloon, and threw some balls around. Jonathan ate dinner (fish sticks, fruit salad, cheese, noodles, black olives, and peas/carrots), and took a bath with dad's supervision, and now is back off to bed (after a book or two).
