Jace and I had a nice day. Not a very productive day but it was good. Our morning routine is solid. He gets up and eats, plays while I get a few chores done, we both have breakfast, play a little more, read a story then he takes a nap. I love the nap. I try to organize everything for the rest of the day and enjoy a little alone time. After the nap we get around and have some lunch. Then we are finally ready to get out of the house. It is often 2 o'clock by the time we are ready to do anything outside the set routine.
Today our task was to go looking for party supplies for the little man's upcoming birthday. The Party City near our house was gone! I had a coupon and was ready to shop but there was no store! In the days before baby this would have been a minor set back. I would have just driven to another party supply place. With Jace in tow that wasn't really an option because I could not afford the extra 30 minutes of driving. We ended up checking out the options at a nearby Target. We didn't get anything. On Monday we will try a different shopping location.
Jace watched an episode of the Muppet Show this afternoon. He was mesmerized. He was clapping and dancing (he bops up a down). Elaine and I enjoyed watching him watch the Muppets.
Tonight, as I was getting ready to tuck Jace in, the TV downstairs turned on. We have it on a timer. When it turned on, I remembered that Jace had dumped out his animal puzzle on the living room floor, in front of the TV. The puzzle proceeded to make farm animal noises triggered by the flickering light of the TV. The horse went "neigh, neigh" for 20 minutes. Thankfully, Jace fell asleep. He likes that puzzle but I'm thinking of taking the batteries out.
It is raining tonight. I love the rain. The house will stay cool. I will sleep better.
Today's photo: Waking up from his nap. I went in to get him, he was standing at the edge of the crib and he lost his balance. He fell sideways like a vaudeville comic. The photo was him smiling after the fall like he was a little embarrassed. (I wish the Binky wasn't covering the smile,)
