What a Busy Day!

My day began with Todd waking me to tell me goodbye at 5:30 this morning. Yes, he went to work at 5:30 this morning!!! Blaine and I were up at 6:45, and by 8:00 we had eaten, showered, gotten ready, and were out the door. We then drove to the polls to stand in line for an hour and a half waiting to vote.... Todd joined us about half way through the wait. Blaine is such a good baby.....He waited so patiently even though he and I both were ill-prepared for the weather! The forecast was sunny with a high of 78. However, the temperature never got out of the 60's, and it was overcast all day. Fortunately I did at least have Blaine in pants........but no socks on those cold little toes. Anyway, we finally got to vote, and then Todd and Blaine headed home while I went to work. I tutor on Tuesdays, and Todd works from home so he can keep Blaine. But today Todd needed to go back to work before I got home, so after a morning nap, it was off to play with Jayden and Kelso for a couple of hours! Not a problem for Blaine; he loves to be entertained by Jayden, and Jayden LOVES to entertain him. Jayden squeals with joy when Blaine comes over, and it seems to be virtually impossible for her to curb her enthusiam. The funny thing is Jayden has her very own little brother who is only 2 months older than Blaine, but I think maybe the new has already worn off of him!! Anyway, Blaine had a blast crawling through the new tunnel Jayden got for her birthday,


and he even got invited to his very first tea party. Amy pointed out that Blaine looks less than thrilled about this tea party. He's obviously learning early that sometimes its easier to just appease the women!!

I got off work just in time to pick Blaine up and bring him home for a nap. Then he woke up ready to go, go, go. He's such a busy boy! He's started walking behind his push toy this week. It's so cute, and he thinks it's hillarious!! He's also learned how to climb onto his new chair......not climb as in the sitting sense, but climb in the sense that he's standing in the chair. I'm affraid the child has many injuries in his future!! Let's just hope he's not as accident prone as his daddy!
