Father's Day

First day in 5 without a fever! He was up at 4:50 and we played until 6. Then we coslept until almost 8. It threw off his naps, but it was nice having our little man back to normal. Gave Daddy his presents when he woke up. Then we got ready and went to our last Sunday class where LR played with friends. He fell asleep on the way to BestBuy after class and managed to stay asleep despite a transfer into the stroller and another back into the car. He almost made it into his crib when we got home, but he had already been asleep for an hour, so it wasn't a big deal that he woke up.

He had some lunch and it seems that his appetite is back. He ate some cereal and pears. We played for the rest of the afternoon and Daddy has started teaching him all the best wrestling moves by throwing him onto our bed and then falling down next to him. LR loves it. We ran out to scout some two family houses in Winchester and LR fell asleep on the way home. I did manage to transfer him to the crib, but he was only out for another 20 minutes. Just long enough for us to fall asleep for what we were hoping would be an hour nap. Oh well.

We played again until dinnertime. He loves the mylar balloon that came with some birthday flowers I received. Dinner consisted of carrots, stars, pasta and some pieces of multigrain toast. He even tried a bite of broccoli and liked it. Then we put him back into the highchair while we ate a father's day dinner that Daddy picked out and Gigi prepared: chicken marsala, broccoli, and fruit soup for dessert. While we ate, he picked up his sippy cup and drank fast enough to cough and sputter a few times. Eventually the coughing slowed down and Gigi asked him if he were faking it. Then he coughed again and we all laughed. He continued coughing and looking from person to person. He would smile in between and watch us react with laughter. The game went on long enough that we decided we better stop before he got a sore throat. Manipulating parents for the first time: June 18th, 2006. It was adorable though.
