I woke up with Mom on Saturday and Dad stayed in bed while Mom IM’d with Aunt Claire and the rest of her family. By the time Dad got up, Mom had already logged off because my congestion was making me fussy. While Dad went for his daily run, I hung out with Mom and eventually took a nap. I got up and had breakfast (rice cereal & prunes) and then Mom, Dad, and I hopped in the car and headed out to Oak Brook Center to go shopping!
I have to say that I don’t really appreciate shopping quite as much as I will eventually. I sat in my strolled while we went in and out of stores. Mom tried on lots and lots of clothes while Dad tried to keep my amused. At Anthropologie, we ran into Mom’s and Dad’s friend Janet, whom I had never met before. Dad changed me in public and fed me on a park bench before I finally fell asleep.
We headed home, with a quick pit stop at Dominick’s where Dad bought two butternut squashes. When we finally got home (about 6 hours after we left!) Mom fed me a bottle while Dad put the squash in the over. Mom, Dad, and I went out to dinner — while the oven was on! — at Pontiac, a place Dad has been wanting to go for quite a while. Mom never wants to go out to dinner with me because I’m usually not in my best mood that late in the day, but today everything went really well.
We got back home and Dad fed me my sixth food ever: butternut squash! It was really yummy and…orange! As soon as I finished, Dad whisked me away to Dominick’s where we did our weekly grocery shopping. By the time we got back it was dark outside (what’s going on?!) and I pretty much started getting ready for bed.
