After a nice long sleep I got up pretty close to my normal weekend time. I climbed out of bed and went in search of Mommy and Daddy. First I went to the master bedroom because that is where I remember Mommy and Daddy sleeping on earlier trips. When I went it I didn’t find them, but I did find Nana and Papa which was great. They said good morning to me and checked to see if I was hungry. I told them what I wanted and they got my breakfast ready. By then Momm and Daddy had noticed I was up and came out. I wasn’t really eating and was just playing a bit and entertaining Nana and Papa. I’m already so comfortable with them that there were no problems this morning.
We needed some essentials so we went shopping which was fun, but I had to do things my way. When I wanted to ride in the cart I had to ride in the cart. When I wanted to walk and push the cart I had to push and no one else could touch the cart, even to help me avoid crashing in to things.
Lunch time was great because I could eat leftover kalbi from last night, but I think I surprised everyone by not cleaning my plate. I was too eager to go back to playing with my toys. Before long I got lonely so I recruited Nana to play with me and read to me.
Nap time was not fun. Lately I have been very resistant to naps and bedtime. I fought against my nap time today and nothing could soothe me. I finally got to sleep but I pretty much cried myself to sleep.
When I woke up got out of my room on my own. I had my snack and was in a pretty good mood. I had a nice surprise FaceTime chat with my cousins,
Papa had set up the pool outside so we took advantage of the cool early evening weather and hopped in the pool to cool off. I had fun splashing around, using water guns, and t being outside. I even got airplane rides from Daddy.
When relaxing with Mommy after the pool I was goofing around with Daddy and talking about all kinds of pies. Why? I don’t know. It’s just the kind of conversations we have sometimes.
Dinner was really good, but I was more into the watermelons that we had for dessert. We had really sweet watermelon. I had three slices! Even though it was a seedless watermelon I had mommy take out the white soft seeds before I ate it.
After dinner I followed Nana outside and had a mini walk with her. We walked around the front lawn and even pick a plumeria for Mommy.
After we came back in I had Nana read me several books.
Daddy found a board game easy enough for me to play so we had a game with Mommy and Nana. I didn’t win, but it was fun!
I did not want to go to bed again. I fought against it and even when Mommy and Daddy joined me in the bedroom I did not go to sleep. So they changed tactics and Daddy was on bed return duty. Whenever I tried to get out of the bed he calmly and firmly returned me to bed, reminding me that it was bedtime. I cried the first 4 or 5 times, but after that I just calmly accepted it. He must have returned me to bed about two dozen times. It took a while but I finally got to sleep about 12 midnight. I think I was still affected by jet lag and that’s why I wasn’t sleepy. I was rolling around, playing, and just not going to sleep.
My first full day on Kauai was great because it felt very normal. We didn’t necessarily have any special plans and our day was full of just spending time together, and that was awesome!
