Today was a conventional Tuesday
in many respects, Daddy and Bodhi both up quite early (5:00 a.m.) enjoying
their breakfast of toast and butter (apple butter and honey for Daddy) and
chocolate milk for you, Ms. Bodhi, and strong black coffee for Daddy. We talked,
Daddy worked on the computer while you colored in the library with Daddy, then
we watched some Nick Jr. before Daddy had to shower, dress and get off to work.
By that time, Buddha you were stirring, so Daddy snatched you from your crib
and took you to the waiting arms of your MommaJ.
After Daddy got off to work,
Mommy finished getting the two of you dressed and ready for your day with Aunt
Ti, where all reportedly went well and the two of you actually enjoyed a good
nap as well (thank goodness, ‘cause you are not sleeping well lately, Ms.
Bodhi). You both spent the morning with
Mommy making potty charts and playing in your room while Mommy took a shower
solo!
Daddy stopped by the house after
work at the college and before going on to his domestic violence intervention
program job as a facilitator, but the two of you were both still at Aunt Ti’s
and Mommy was leaving for work as a volunteer with the Humane Society with her
client.
By the time Daddy again returned
home after 8:00 p.m., the two of you were fully engaged in fun with Mommy in
the back yard, where you were helping water plants and vegetables (and each
other) and sampling Daddy’s tomatoes and peppers, Mister Buddha, and washing
both dogs with Mommy’s supervision and visiting with our neighbor, who you both
love, Ms. Susan. Then, you both were greeted with an especial super surprise by
an unexpected visit of Grandmoo who of course played with both of you outdoors,
and supervised the two of you as you took Allie for her evening walk.
By the time the dust (and
sunlight) settled, the two of you had invested in a very full day of fun, with
the benefit of some water fun in the incredibly hot sun, with a remarkably
special Mommy, special neighbor, and special, special, special Grandmoo (who
promised you both an ice cream taco when you come over to her house, which had
you both beaming as you gave kisses to everyone and prepared to go to bedJ).
When you both settled in for the
night, you were tucked into your crib, young Viking Prince, and you were
alongside him, Ms. Gypsy Princess, in his transition big-boy bed---both
tuckered out from a love filled, fun filled day—another remarkable and special
day’s journey along the mellow brick road.
Well, for about a half hour. After Buddha fell asleep you, little Bodhi,
snuck out of his room and came creeping down the stairs where Mommy and Daddy
were having a super late dinner. Mommy
tucked you back into bed, but about 15 minutes later you were camped out on the
staircase with your huge caterpillar pillow and your blue blanket. When Mommy asked you why you didn’t want to
sleep in your own bed, you responded, “the bed bugs bite.” Mommy lost it and explained that’s just a
saying, to which you responded, “ooooh!”
Daddy then volunteered to lay with you in your tiny little bed so that
Mommy could post the blog J
