Jonathan Day 68

We decided to set the alarm this morning since we have been sleeping until JH wakes and that child sleeps too late.  We all got up at 7:00 AM and watched cartoons for a a while before breakfast.  Da Da went out and watered the plants while I gave JH a banana and two waffles.  He loved the waffles!  I had to go in and work so JH spent about 20 minutes before Da Da came in and played with him.

Mid-morning a back-hoe came in to level part of the yard for a storage shed (workshop) we're having built.  With the basement emptied for a winter play room we needed to get something to store all of our tools and lawn equipment.  I really enjoyed sitting in my office watching Da Da and JH move all around the yard watching the enormous machine make mincemeat of the lawn.  We're having a 10x20 Saltbox shed built that pretty much matches the house (a Da Da requirement).  Once done Da Da will start building the walls and rooms in the basement.

At lunch we drove to MI City to finalize the plans and delivery.  We also grabbed lunch at an Asian restaurant.  The owner/server was very nice and made sure JH had apple juice immediately.  When I stepped away to use the restroom she asked Rick if JH was his brother and he said, "no, he's my son" and she asked who I was and Rick said "he is also his daddy" she said how nice, three generations.  Rick said, "no, he is my partner and Jonathan is our son".  Rick said she had a look on her face and smiled big as she finally got it!  I don't think we're the average family in MI City, Indiana :-)

When we got home JH was wound-up so Da Da ran him around the yard until about 2:00 PM and we put him down for a nap and he finally fell asleep about 2:30 PM.  I was in my office so when I walked out to grab a water at 4:30 PM and saw JH sleeping I knew it would be a long night.  Actually, it's 6:30 PM and he is being a perfect little man.  We'll keep him up until 8:00 PM night to make-up for the late nap.

After a few recorded Yo Gabba Gabba episodes We'll all be ready for bed.

btw - the chickens in the photo above are now in the freezer.  While they were being loaded in boxes to take to the "processor", JH was in his play car saying "bye bye chickens".
