Jonathan slept until almost 8:00 AM and it was great! We all got up and had a big breakfast and were off to Mishawaka to get some shopping down. At Lowes and Home Depot Jonathan got to ride in the shopping cart shaped like a vehicle. He loved it! He was steering making car noises the whole time.
After we got home we had lunch and all took naps again. The weather was in the 70s so Da Da decided to finish staining the deck. Jonathan sat in his wagon and played with toys and I ran to Linda and Neil's farm to get some fresh hay for the chicken coop. Once I finished cleaning the chicken coop; I was on keep Jonathan occupied duty. He drove his car, rode his tricycle, and I pulled him all over the yard in his wagon. I had nothing left to offer so I sat on the bridge while he moved rocks from one side to the other. I got up to get Da Da a bottle of water and came back and Jonathan was sitting in my spot on the bridge. I snapped the picture above because he looked so peaceful and sweet.
Dinner was more of a challenge tonight. He got on a "NO" kick and after a few standing in the corner threats, we had to actually put him there twice. It has been almost two weeks since we felt like he needed the corner. We really don't like having to do it and only do so as a last result. I think I have mentioned before, only safety and bad manners will make us put him in the corner :-(
Putting him to bed and having breakfast are the easiest things for us. We'll get there with the other 10 hours a day :-P
