Bright and early we drove in to Mishawaka to score some after Christmas deals. Da Da bought 2500 white lights so he can light the 10 or so trees in the very front of the property. It will be beautiful next year but like this year, I want no part of decorating :-p
JH watched his new 150 minute Thomas video that I scored for $6 last week. Best $6 we have spent in months. This boy loves his Thomas! In fact, Thomas is turned on running behind our dishwasher as I type this. I was washing dished and JH was playing with one of his two Thomas trains (that I JUST changed the battery on), and it made it's way on the side of the dishwasher, and is out of reach. We don't use the dishwasher so it's not a big deal, it's just listening to it run that will drive us crazy. I hope I put in a cheap IKEA battery and not a Duracell.
When we got home in the early afternoon we had lunch and tried to get JH to nap. We laid down and didn't hear him but after about 1 hour I went in and he said "I had a nice nap Daddy". No way! he was too chipper and giggly to have just woke-up. We usually ask if he had a nice nap after he actually naps. Little con man!
Da Da went down and finished the TV wall in the basement and JH and I played all afternoon. He is getting so much better listening and making choices. If he gets too rowdy I ask if he would like to play nice or have me put the toy away? He usually focuses and plays nice. If he brings too many toys out of his room we ask him to pick one or two to return to his room and he does it with little fuss.
We all had dinner a few minutes ago and are getting ready for our hour or so of Nick Jr shows before JH hits the hay. Tomorrow we may have a visit from Uncle Mike to help us install the new basement windows. Either way I'm on vacation still and we'll be sure to have some fun :)
Oops, the picture above is JH making a snow angle. There have been a could of Nick Jr shows this last week where they made snow angles and he just started doing it and said "I'm making a snow angle".
