I slept in a bit today. Didn’t sleep 14 hours like the first day, but I didn’t wake up until 9:30. But I woke up in a good mood. I called for Mommy and then went out of the bedroom and told Nana and Papa good morning. Daddy woke up right after and I greeted him with a happy and smiley good morning too! The day was off to a good start.
It was a relaxing morning of just hanging out together. I ate my breakfast, watched some TV, and played with my toys. I saw Nana working on my Halloween costume and using the sewing machine. It looked like fun so I had her teach me how to use it. It was really cool and I think I did a good job for my first time. Before I knew it, we were getting ready for lunch. After the big dinner last night and my late breakfast, I wasn’t that hungry, but we still had to eat lunch. We had a smorgasbord of leftovers. We had pizza, sandwiches, chicken, potatoes, and a spattering of other snack foods. Even though I was kind of full from breakfast, I did my best to eat my lunch.
After lunch I worked on a birdhouse kit that Papa got for me. He had heard that I like to use my toy tool kit so I had a go at using the real things. It was a little more complicated than I imagined but I did pretty good. I got to use a lot of tools and paint! I hope a lot of birds come to visit my bird house.
After that I played a bit but started to get into a mood again. I’ve been a very good boy this trip, but I have bad moments when I’m in a mood here and there. Instead of engaging with me, Daddy just went outside and started playing with water guns. I saw that and immediately followed him outside. Mommy had to chase me with my hat and sunscreen to protect me from the sun. We played with water guns and sidewalk chalk for a bit before Mommy, Daddy, and Papa had to go someplace. I stayed home with Nana and we played on our iPads.
When everyone came home I had my snack and then went back outside to play. We were playing for a bit when we started to put together our dinner menu. Papa was already starting the grill to cook the kalbi, but we realized that we needed more ingredients for the salad. So Nana was heading to the market to pick up more vegetables and I said that I wanted to go to. We bought cherry tomatoes, carrots, bell peppers and croutons. (I also picked up a new toothbrush too.) We got home and got dinner ready.
I was in a mood in the car ride home and I was not Mommy. But when we got home I had a talk with Daddy and I realized what I had done wrong. I eventually apologized to Mommy. After mending fences we had a great dinner. I ate everything on my plate and had several servings of the kalbi. After dinner I played a bit before it was dessert time. I had another delicious ice cream cone. But even after that I was still hungry. So I had some blueberries and cheese and crackers.
Then it was bath time and Daddy made a bubble bath for me again. I had a lot of fun playing in the bubbles. I tried to pop all of them, but there were too many. After my bath I decided to skip my bedtime book so that I could go to sleep early. The reason was that I wanted to see the garbage truck pick up the trash the next morning. The garbage truck comes very early, about 5:30 so I would need a good sleep before I woke up early in the morning.
As usual, I had an extended good night session with Nana and Papa. I went into their bedroom and jumped on the bed before giving them a big hug and joyful “Aloha” before I went to bed.
