Jonathan Day 205

JH woke us at about 6:00 AM saying "I have an eye booger", he didn't, and why that got me out of bed I still don't understand.  I guess just knowing that he is laying there awake makes me get up.  Once it gets light earlier he can get up and play with his toys.  I'm really not sure he would get out of bed until we come out but we'll see soon enough.

Da Da slammed breakfast and hit the basement to finish the flooring.  Michael and Ki Ki were kind enough to sit with JH today while I helped with the flooring.  They arrived at about 10:30 AM and went down to help.  Da Da got so much done that by the time I got there to help we only had about 1 hour of work left.  Then we drove to MI City to get the final supplies to finish.

The photo above is one Michael took of the Snowman he and JH made while we were gone.  They had a great time and when we got home after 3:30 PM they had just put JH down for a nap/quiet time.  He laid in his room for about 30 minutes and had played so hard all day he fell asleep.  Ki KI and Michael wore him out today!  I think they will ALL sleep well tonight.  Michael went in to say good-bye to JH and came out with him in his arms and JH was hugging him.  I know he has won over both of them and you can tell that he loves all of our friends up here so much.

SO, I'll say THANK YOU again to Janine, DJ, Ki Ki, and Michael for the time they spent with Jonathan Harper this weekend.  It was great for us to work and not worry about having to stop to go pick him up.  People always say how lucky JH is to have us and we respond by saying how lucky we are to have him.  This weekend I realized how lucky he really is to have so many different people in his life that truly do love him.  Family is what you make it!  It doesn't require blood relations to make a healthy family; it takes love and respect.

I'm going to stop writing now and go watch the monster truck push the choo choo around the train track.
