Jonathan Day 69

The alarm went off at 7:00 AM and I went in and woke up JH.  He was in a relatively good mood and happily went to the potty.  I like the earlier wake-up because I get to spend some time with him in the morning snuggling on the sofa watching cartoons.  He is sitting with us much longer now.  He was always so busy before moving on to the next thing, but now it seems like if he's interested he is focusing better.  I'm the official feeder now because we get through meals much quicker, cleaner, and with little fuss.  Maybe it's because Da Da spends so much time with him that he looks at him more like a friend?  Who knows, I don't mind being the bad cop :-)

JH and Da Da went out and did yard-work.  Da Da planted trees (from saplings growing in the garden) while JH pulled the trees out of the pots and the leaves off the plants.  That didn't last long and JH was sent to the other side of the garden to move dirt from one bed to the other.  I went out on occasion to see the progress and it was pretty cute to see him with his plastic shovel moving dirt.  JH got to ride with Da Da on the tractor pulling a yard roller to compact the pad for the shed.  He was between Da Da's knees just talking and singing with a smile on his face.

I had lunch with them and then we tried to get JH to nap.  No luck!  He laid there in bed singing and talking.  After about 1 hour Da Da got him up and they went back to the yard.  Da Da also took him to the park and they played a counting game with the acorns that littered the play area.  It was in the mid sixties today so very nice outside.

We had dinner a few minutes ago and JH is doing his pre-bed potty as I write this.  Da Da asked him if he was done and he is yelling "potty no I go potty".  He's been in there for 10 minutes.  Apparently we have our 2nd poop of the day happening.  Rick came out saying how it's funny that I can't get him on the potty (he resists more with me) and he can't get him off the potty.  I can hear him in there playing with his cell phone.

After the last potty we sat and watched one last Yo Gabba Gabba (see pic above) and he was still and sweet.  Da Da and I put him to bed 5 minutes ago and he gave us our usual hugs and kisses and he's asleep.
