Jonathan Day 47

Our normal day starts with hearing JH on the baby monitor either saying "wet" or a booming "good morning", this morning we heard our three very large roosters crowing below our bedroom window.  We're not sure how they got out but it wasn't fun herding them 200 ft back to the chicken coop.

JH started as usual with a banana and by the time we settled down from the rooster fiasco he was done.  He finished his banana and pushed the plate away and said done.  We asked if he wanted oatmeal and he said "NO" so all he had was a banana.  He didn't seem to be upset so Da Da put him in his room to watch Wonder Pets while he painted the dining room and I went to work.  After about an hour Da Da cleaned up and took JH to the park.  They met a mom and dad there with 3 year old twins.  They were really nice so Rick asked them how they have been socializing them and the mom gave him some really good options in the area.  Finally he met someone that lives in the area that was responsive and nice.  We mostly meet very nice people at the park from Chicago that are visiting the area.  There have been one or two locals that were very cold. Not sure if it's the two dads that has put them off.  Not that I care :-)

After lunch Da Da put JH down for his nap and finished the dining room.  He only need to roll out the walls.  It looks really great!! JH woke-up and we took a quick trip to the market to get some things for dinner.  I had a few more meetings and when they were over we played outside for a bit before driving to a town about 20 miles away to get some free rocks.  We found someone on CraigsList that was giving away boulders and while JH sang in the backseat of the truck Da Da and Daddy lifted about 800 pounds of rocks and that was only 5 rocks.  

Dinner was one of the best we have ever had.  I made a greek lemon chicken with mashed sweet potatoes and broccoli.   JH wolfed his broccoli down and immediately wanted "moooore please", Da Da kept directing him to the chicken and potatoes and there was no arguments or NOOOOO responses.  He ate his entire dinner and while Da Da was giving him yogurt (helps him poop) for desert, he was telling JH he had a kink in his neck from lifting the rocks.  So JH was repeating "kink" and giggling and Da Da said that he had a kinky neck and JH was belly laughing.  It was hilarious!!  Something about the word kinky was cracking him up.

Bed was okay.  He has started fussing a little when we put him down the last few night because he wants multiple hugs and kisses (to stall) and we stop at two each.
