Davis was out of daycare sick today so we split the day with the little guy. I went into work early and Kristen went in to do some lab work tonight. During the day, Kristen and Davis went to the zoo, and while I wasn't looking, she snuck in his first haircut to trim down the toddler mullet that had been forming. Hopefully, she will be able to write a separate post about that experience.
While Kristen was at work, Davis and I had a fantastic evening. We took a little cat nap in the rocking chair, then with a re-charged little one we had dinner and played hard for a couple of hours.
We:
- Had french toast for dinner.
- Went for a walk around the neighborhood.
- Ran the Scooba. Davis sat in my lap for 20 minutes while we watched it work. I love robots. :)
- Built a structure using all 95 of the mega blocks. Davis put 85 of them together and I added 10 or so for stability. He was just amazing with the blocks. It seemed like he made a huge leap forward in his building abilities. When all 95 blocks where used, he said "more". I agree, we need more blocks mom.
- Played chase and hide and seek.
- Had a miniature tickle fest.
- Rolled and threw tennis balls to each other.
Here are a few pictures from the evening. I had to use the little camera which doesn't take as good of pictures with the harsh direct flash (sorry):
