2008_12_04 Thursday

We started off the day a bit earlier than usual: 8:15! That actually worked out really nicely, since we went to coop-sit Gavin at 9:30. So, J2 was fed and ready to play. We were there until about noon (Cheryl and I gabbed for awhile after she got home).

Then, I had to swing by a Freecycler's home to pick up 3 bags of clothes for J2. It's all stuff that is way too big for him right now, but I can file it away for later. I rushed home to get him into bed. He was exhausted from all the fun of the morning.

After a very short nap, he had lunch. And, we played inside for a long time. At 4, he went back down for a second nap, which lasted until after 6:30. I had to call Dave to beg off from picking him up (besides it was raining too!). We high-fived as I ran out the door to the grocery store to restock on dairy goods while the boys had dinner.

When I got home, we goofed with Jonathan for a little. He actually said something very close to "Par-dough-ne" (which was first taught by Opa months ago) after he burped. We cried laughing. He's really getting the hang of twisting water bottle caps too. Before retiring, we moved PopPop's Adventskalendar and opened yet another truck from the stocking-adventskalendar. He was so excited to see a new truck (his expressions are priceless), and really worked on ripping open the wrapping.

We think he's starting to say two-word phrases, like 'bath time.' We probably wouldn't recognize the phrases out of context, but it was clear as day as he walked into the bathroom. The boys are bathing (well, one is) and then it's off to beddy-by for one.
