Jonathan Day 76

3:00 AM I heard "sock, sock, my sock, oh there's my sock".  6:00 AM I heard singing and chatter.    I believe we'll all be going to bed early tonight.

We all got up very early, had breakfast, and took a three mile walk around town.  I usually don't get to join in since we all sleep so late.  It was a perfect chilly morning and on our way to town we saw two Peacocks in full bloom across the street walking around one of our neighbor's yards.  JH apparently had seen them before and started yelling hello; he only says the last syllable in words so use your imagination at what he was yelling.  Ugh!

After we got back I went to work and JH and Da Da hit the yard for some play.  At lunch time we went to a local burger place for a change.  We usually eat all meals at home unless it's the weekend and we're shopping or in Chicago.  When the hostess sat us he looked up at her (she was about 19 years old) and said "thank you Jo Jo" and then looked at us and laughed.  He totally knew she wasn't his Aunt Jo Jo but was playing with us.  He cracks us up!!

We got home and he immediately fell asleep.  Da Da cut some large tree branches while I continued my workday.  Okay, any of my co-workers should ignore this next part :-).  At 3:00 PM I had my last meeting so I joined them in the yard and was put to work.  JH helped Da Da move the wood pile from the back of the property closer to the house, while I sawed some large fallen trees.  That much physical work kicked all our behinds.  JH finally sat in his wagon and started his chatter.  When I was done I moved him out and laid in his wagon while he tried to pull me.  No luck!  He eventually laid on me for about 10 minutes while we watched airplanes and the clouds move.  He kept turning over and hugging me.  Usually he only wants to be held or hugged when he wants something :-)  This time I think it was actual affection.

Dinner was fast and uneventful.  After we watched two episodes of Yo Gabba Gabba.  He says "yo bugga bugga" and he KNOWS that it's Yo Gabba Gabba but does it so we say, no it's Yo Gabba Gabba.  Bath, potty, and his usual River Dance around the living room.  He does this thing where he dances around on his tip toes so we call it his River Dance.

He was great when we put him to bed but he's in there crying so I'm off to one more round of hugs, kiss, and I'll see you tomorrow.
