Today was a rainy, cold day. I had had great plans for an ag festival, but we opted out because of the weather. Ditto for pumpkin picking. As we tried to figure out what to do, I took the front of Jonathan's crib off so that he's officially in a "transition bed" now. It's basically a day bed with two short guard rails.
We took Dave to a local shee-shee mall. They darted around other shoppers while I mozied behind them. We had a nice lunch at a burger joint. Afterward, we stopped at a fountain, and Jonathan asked, quite politely, "Mommy, may I have a penny please." with his head cocked to the side and eyebrows as high on his face as possible. How could I resist? So, he threw 4 pennies in.
He took his nap with very little objection, and he managed to stay in his bed the whole time. I had to wake him up at 5:30.
Then, the best thing happened to me in a long time. I took 2 hours for myself to get a mani/pedi, and I feel amazing...and rejuvenated.
After his dinner, we all played in the den for awhile. Jonathan is just amazing with his speech. He poses complex questions and can answer with such detail ("Mommy, I hit the blue train with the red hammer."). I also was pretending to sleep, and he came to me, rubbed my head, and gave me a kiss to wake me up. How sweet is this kid?!
He's also getting good at pee-ing in the toilet. He's not 100% yet, so I see diapers in our future. But, it's pretty neat when he tells us he has to go and then actually goes.

Is a shee-shee mall the kind where you can buy new chimneys and solid/animal free porch columns?
