I got up for the day around 6:00 and as usual on a Sunday, Dad got up to hang out with me while Mom got to sleep in a bit. We came downstairs and immediately started “exercising” — which is what Dad calls the various physical development drills that he puts me through every day. I then played in my jumperoo while Dadquickly threw together a meal that would eventually be Mom’s and Dad’s lunch.
As soon as it struck 7:30, we headed out on our first errand, which was to Home Depot, where we bought two fire alarms (although Dad can’t seem to find them now; maybe we left them in the shopping cart!) because Mom is convinced that the ones we have in our house don’t work. After that we went to a Bank of America ATM so Dad could make a deposit and withdraw some cash for Mom. Finally, we went to Whole Foods to buy some fenugreek for Mom.
We were so productive on our trip that we were done with errands before Mom would want to get up, so, not surprisingly, we headed out to Starbucks (Dad had thought ahead and brought his computer!) where I took a nap and Dad got some work done. When I woke up we headed back home where Dad gave me a bottle.
Dad went for his morning run (on our treadmill) and I hung out with Mom upstairs in her room while she packed for her upcoming trip. They ate lunch, I took a nap, and eventually Dad and I headed out for another set of errands.
I hung out with Mom most of the evening … until 7:00 when all of a sudden Mom got into a funny-looking car and with a really sad look on her face gave me a kiss and rode away! I could tell Dad was really sad, too. I was tired and so was a bit cranky. All in all, it wasn’t our best evening. To cheer me up, Dad decided to take me for a walk. To cheer himself up, Dad made our first stop Letizia’s Bakery, where Dad bought a chocolate chip cookie. We looped all the way around to Chris’s house and back just in time to walk in the door a few minutes before my bedtime. I fell asleep for the last leg of the walk, but I quickly woke up when I realized there was a bottle in front me. I got my vitamins, changed into my PJ’s, and had my bottle before falling asleep around 8:25.
