Jonathan Day 62

Today just felt different; it felt more right.  Silly that a little piece of paper can make us feel so much more secure.  JH got up with a smile and was a very good boy.  He and Da Da had to take the car in for its 5000 mile check-up.  We have had the car less time than we have had JH and it already has more than 5000 miles on it!  Yikes!  Good thing we got an extended warranty and maintenance plan.

Anyway, JH and Da Da came home about 12:00 PM and I was already getting their lunch ready.  JH ate a sandwich and peas for lunch and finished it all.  He loves his veggies!  We put him down for a nap and I went in and worked while Da Da painted the fireplace in the living-room.  Rick needs to be creative and I have a feeling every inch of this place will be painted during nap times.  JH slept at least 1 1/2 hours.  I think all the driving yesterday was too much for him (and us).

While I finished work he and Da Da went out and planted mums and some Hostas that we got on clearance over the weekend.  We got about $400 worth of plants for $23 :-)  JH and Da Da finished the day at the pumpkin farm so we can get the porch decorated for Halloween.   When they walked in I was talking to Aunt Suzie on the phone and JH had a 3x3 sticker of a pumpkin on his forehead.  It was really cute and when I told Aunt Suzie she did her usual cooing and awing :-)  She may come this weekend to spend some time with him.  We hope :-)

At dinner I had Yo Gabba Gabba on again and while cleaning JH up the show was ending.  Jack Black was a guest on the show and the were saying goodbye (not using his name) and JH said "Bye Jack".  He must have heard them say his name during dinner over our talking and feeding him.  He amazes us every day.  Da Da was changing some screws in the doors to try and get them to shut properly again.  He laid the old ones down and JH picked them up and said "one, two, three" and there were three screws in his hand.

He is in the bath now playing and singing.  Da Da is going in to clip his nails so it may get ugly fast.  Apparently his fingers are too puckered and Da Da is giving up.  I got him out of the bath and a few times ago I said I'll dry you off and you'll be nice and warm.  Now every time I take him out and dry him off he says "nice and warm" over and over.  While putting his diaper on after drying him he said "potty" so I stopped and took the diaper off and put him on Elmo.  He started balling!  Tears and gasps.  I kneeled down and kept saying it's okay, it's only potty and dried his eyes and the tears off his belly.  He was okay and I walked out and told Da Da he's all yours now.  Then we heard JH say "okay, I'll try".  Now Da Da is in there cleaning up after the 2nd poop of the day.  I had to do the first one so it's only fair :-)  While Da Da is putting his diaper on JH is pointing to Rick's freckles on his shoulder and saying "boo boo"  "Da Da has boo boo".

Skip to bedtime:
Da Da is on his 4th kiss and 3rd hug and I can hear JH saying "Kiss Kiss Kiss".  I got away with two and my usual, I'll see you tomorrow.
