I woke up after a nice long rest and the only thing I wanted to do was play. Mommy and Daddy had a hard time getting me to sit down and eat, but eventually I did, although it was a small breakfast.
After eating breakfast I got changed and washed up and went right back to playing with all my new Christmas toys. It was like Christmas morning all over again.
I watched my new story projector a bit. It was very cool! Later I even showed Daddy how to operate it and project the stories.
I had some time on Daddy’s phone while everyone cleaned up and put away the Christmas decorations. The house was a little less festive without the decorations but I didn’t miss it too much.
Papa asked me if I wanted to go with him to the garbage dump to drop off the Christmas tree and I said yes. I saw so many vehicles on the way. I saw helicopters, airplanes, excavators, trucks, and even a crashed car. There were so many vehicles for me to see. It was a nice little trip.
We got home and I was playing with Mommy while Daddy was working on getting me some lunch. When Daddy came home I had been in tears but was recovering and felt a lot better after I ate my cheeseburger kids meal.
After lunch it was back to playing with my many new toys.
I spotted Nana using her iPad so I politely asked if I could play too. She checked with Mommy and Daddy and we got the go ahead, so we started to play on her iPad. Nana wanted to get up to get a snack but I wouldn’t let her because I wanted her to stay seated next to me. Then she mentioned something about cookies. So I let her get up and get a cookie if she got one for me as well. The cookie was very yummy, but quite crumbly. I was covered in crumbs after I ate. And my fingers were covered in crumbs too. I quickly ran out of clean fingers to operate the iPad so I ended up having to use my pinky.
Lauren had set up the small wading pool outside so I went out to join her. It was a small pool, but a nice comfy size for the two of us. We played with buckets, balls, and toy trucks. Then we started having fun with the hose as well. It was a lot of fun!
Mommy and Daddy went out with Aunty Chris and Uncle Matt for a bit, but I was fine being home with Nana, Papa, and my cousins. When it was time to come in from the pool I did so without trouble. Papa gave me a bath and I was all fresh and clean in no time.
When Mommy and Daddy came home, we went for a walk with Lauren and Maile. Lauren was in her shark onsie again, which made the walk a little surreal. This time I walked the whole way until I tripped and scraped my knee. Then I got carried a little bit.
After we got back we caught a couple more lizards again and I carried them around like pets again. I like having these tiny little pets. They may not be as cuddly as puppies, but it is still pretty nice.
After it started getting dark we went back into the house and played for a while until it was dinner time.
At dinner I ate pretty well, with some encouragement of knowing that there was dessert at the end. At one point I said that I was full, then Daddy told me that I was too full to have dessert. I told him that I am full for food but not full for dessert. It sounded very familiar to the Japanese phrase, “Amai mono betsu bara” which translates to “Sweet things have a separate stomach”. I ended up eating everything on my plate and then eating a juice popsicle that Lauren made for dessert.
After dinner I played Tomica with Daddy until it was time to get ready for bed. Then without complaint I went through my bedtime routine. Daddy added watching a story on my new mini projector to the end of my bedtime routine and I was really happy about that. Then I fell fast asleep. It was another wonderful full and fun day.
