Today seemed to take forever! JH and Da Da drove up about 4:30 PM and I ran out to meet them and JH looked at me and was smiling from ear to ear. I scooped him out of his car-seat and gave him 100 hugs and kisses.
JH kept telling Da Da that his belly hurt and he had to poop, then when Da Da took him to a bathroom he said "I want to go potty in MY bathroom". SO, when we were walking in the house he said "Daddy, my belly hurts and I have to go poop". OMG, he did the biggest poop I have ever seen come out of him.
We drove to Niles to put in an order for supplies to start ....(yes, we're taking on another project) the conversion of the garage to a kitchen. We stopped for dinner and JH would not eat a bite. Then Da Da got ice-cream and all of a sudden JH was a little hungry. On the way home JH played with his "a balloon" and kept saying "Daddy, look at what I'm doing with my a balloon".
Bed-time was effortless and JH gave us hugs and kisses and was fast asleep in minutes.
Friday -
Today started with me sneaking past Jonathan's room at 7:15 AM to turn on the coffee pot. I made it to the sofa and started to read my emails when I heard "Good morning Daddy, LOOK my aballoon is DEAD"; his balloon was sadly laying on its side on the kitchen floor. He came out and sat next to me while I looked at all my accounts on-line. He kept saying what's that picture, who's that lady or man while I navigated around my account screens. He was snuggled up against me and it felt so great to have him home again.
Da Da dropped JH off at Miss Terry's house at 9:00 AM and we both knocked around the house all day. I had a slow work day so it was nice and quiet and I got my Outlook all cleaned up. Da Da did a little yard work but mostly a quiet day. Da Da smashed his finger on Saturday and hasn't been able to do much until his stitches are removed next week.
When JH and Da Da walked in at 4:00 PM Da Da said that Miss Terry told him that JH didn't potty all day. Now that's 7 hours while he drank and ate all day long! We let him play for a while and then after dinner at about 6:00 PM we made him try to potty and he had a FIT. "I'm tired, I'm SLEEPY, I don't have to potty"; so I told him to go lay in bed until he was in a better mood. After about 30 minutes I opened the door and he was just laying there singing, so I laid with him and he started giggling and being playful again. FINALLY after about 10 minutes he went potty; I swear he went for 30 seconds and it was as yellow as the Sun!! Why? I just don't understand why this boy won't go potty when he has to go! Are we raising a little control freak or ..... is he being raised by a couple of control freaks??
We sat nice for about 15 minutes (one Thomas episode) and then he was too wiggly so after a few warnings it was off to bed. Hugs and kisses and even a sign language I love you and he was fast asleep.
Saturday -
We got up pretty early and went in to MI City to pick-up our new windows and doors for the garage conversion (to a big Kitchen). Luckily we have wonderful friends in Linda and Neil to go with us so we could get the doors home. They have an old station wagon that you could transport a small boat in the back. We had breakfast and JH was mostly good, I think he may have been a little loud but either Da Da and I are immuned to it or just don't care :-)
The day went pretty well but at lunch he wouldn't eat more than a spoonful of mashed potatoes and some of Gramma's corn. That was fine and after trying a nap we got a call from Uncle Michael we all got up and visited for a few minutes. It was nice to have someone drop by, that doesn't happen to us very often and is always welcome. We are living in chaos with both the attic and the garage torn-up. The living room is full of closet systems and plumbing stuff for the attic. SO, while we welcome overnight visitors, please give us a couple of weeks to get the attic done.
We took another drive in the late afternoon and then came home and had a nice dinner. I recycled his uneaten lunch in to a stew type thing and he gobbled it up like crazy. We then gave him a yogurt and a small piece of pumpkin bread. As I type this Da Da is up in his room because he was just crying "I'm hungry", no way is that boy hungry! He wasn't ready for bed and has pulled every trick in the book to stay up a little later.
Sunday -
I woke-up first and as soon as I hit the coffee button (it beeps), I heard little feet running to the door. I tried what Da Da does now and then and hid besides the refrigerator, how he knew it was me I have no idea, "Good morning Daddy".
We had breakfast and waited for the drywall guys to show; at about noon one came and we were not happy. We decided today that we're canceling the scheduled install of the carpet on Friday :-( I guess we'll move up to the attic in November!
In the afternoon Uncle Michael came and we all talked and played with Jonathan. Uncle Michael introduced JH to Angry Bird and (see above pic) it was hilarious to watch them watch Jonathan play.
This evening we played a few puzzle games on my lap top and then he colored Thomas and played a matching game. Jonathan is just over 3 and he navigates my tracker pad on my Mac like a pro :-) Da Da read JH a Thomas book and he wrapped his arms around my neck and I carried him on my back to bed. It's been great having our boy home!!
