And just in time! Today was another Daddy Day and PJ and I went on a huge walk - mostly he rode in his stroller, but for awhile we decided to run up and down hills. He never really walked in grass before, so that was a first and he laughed and laughed - it's bumby or something. Then we walked up a little hill in a park with some pine trees on it. At first he wanted to hold my hand (ok, so he just holds my index finger...), but soon he was tearing up the hill on his own (I kept an eye on him, but he never fell). Then came running down the hill! My goodness that was fun! He would just about lose his footing at a certain point and fall into my arms squealing with glee. He of course didn't want to stop, but Daddy was poopt! After lunch we read a bit and it was time for a nap. He hit the crib sleeping. Part of a parent's job is getting your kid tired enough to take a nap, so you can rest! ;)
When he woke up from his nap he drank 2 big sippy cups of milk! Then we read some more, but soon had to get back outside. The cats even got to sit in the windows with them open and feel the fresh air and hear the birds - it's been a long time; I could tell they were getting anxious for this event to take place, but temps just didn't allow for it until today. We played for awhile and PJ tresspassed on our neighbor John's yard and got a basketball - John didn't mind though it turns out. ;) PJ seems very interested in basketball right now. Maybe it is just "ball" in general, but he likes to watch it on the TV we found out when he was being babysat, by a friend of Jody's whose husband was watching it...that sentence was more complicated than it need be, but I am too tired to fix it.
After dinner we all went for another walk and played outside some more! The backyards have started to air out around here after the dog poop thaw - man the whole neighborhood reeked the other day. Looking forward to that first thunderstorm to clean everything up! I wonder how PJ will react to thunder and lightning this year?
That's enough for now. Tomorrow is another Daddy Day and we might go to the Como Zoo if it opens early enough - I'm not going to risk him falling asleep in the car on the way home! If he even dozes for 5 minutes, that's it for a nap!
