Boy's Day

Maureen went to a meeting at school. If you know her, ask her about it. Anywho, this was the first time that I was alone with the boys for an entire day. Our day was planned out. We were going to go to Joey's gym and head over to the fountain after that for some running around. I say it was planned because things didn't exactly happen that way.

As we were preparing to leave to go to the gym, John threw a hissy fit and wouldn't budge. I gave him two warnings before I took off his shoes and put him in his crib. He fell asleep but woke up when he had to take care of business. Nicholas was a perfect little prince. He just drank a bottle and took a nap.

After that, we seemed ready to go, so I decided to head out to Target to get some sippy cups. Since it was close to lunch, I decided to go to Daphne's prior to going to Target. I was so proud of John. He ate his entire kid's gyro meal and he was patient as I gave Nicholas his bottle. As a reward, I got him a special toy at Target, The Little People Airplane.

When we got home, John was ready for a nap and Nick and I hung out on our bed. I read him a couple of books and gave him a bottle. I started reading The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck to him. I tried to do the voices of Uncle Scrooge and all the characters, but Nick didn't care. He just wanted a bottle. Sure enough, he went out like a light. I was able to watch the end of GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra before both of them woke up and I had to watch Make Way for Noddy. Not that I mind watching MWFN, but once in a while, I do like to watch something where the main characters don't sing snappy little songs about some problem.

While John was having dinner in bed, Nicholas was taking a nice nap. He didn't wake up until after John had finished. He's good like that. He knows that i like to clean up a bit after meals so as not to pile things up. He didn't wake up until Maureen got home. By that time, John was almost ready for bed and Nicholas would be getting his bottle soon enough.
