he was so bossy with exactly how he wanted his building to be. what color block and in which spot. when i stopped to get him to do some more, he'd pick one up and put it in my hand telling me to keep building. i stacked the lego car at the top which made him stack his other cars too. dotty came to check it out too.
after i got him to clean up his legos, he started to get his instruments out. he gave me the xylophone, "this one for you..." and the piano, "and this one for you too." then he got his drum out, "this one for me..." and the guitar, "and another one for me." if i wasn't playing when he wanted me to, he'd say: "you play it!" sheesh.
"mama eat strawberry yogurt, i eat peach yogurt." nj kept asking for food so i gave him yogurt that we ate together. he sat on the little stool and i stood next to him. he said, "mama, sit down! come sit, sit here!" just as i was thinking, what are you talking about? he went running into the other room dragging back a chair that he pushed up next to his seat. how sweet! awww, thank you, baby. i love you!
we shared the last of the gigantic bag. there were lots of little crumbs, so this is how he decides to eat them. such a boy! (baba does the same thing!)
nj wanted to color so i sat with him. he asked me to draw some of his cars and trucks, then i asked him to draw something. he didn't know what to draw so i asked him to draw me. he took my hand and put it onto the page. i said, "no, draw me. what do i look like? draw my face." with a red crayon he drew a couple of lines and said, "that's you, look... this your face!" i couldn't help but to laugh.
i was flipping channels and saw that the wizard of oz was on tv. i thought he might like it, hoping it was ok since i couldn't remember if there was anything he shouldn't see. he only watched bits of it, but seemed to like it. he still tried to watch even as he ate dinner. it's cute. the wizard of oz always reminds me of our friends the fongs.
nj was such a good boy today, even though we were home all day. after he ate dinner, he played for a little and then baba showered him. since he missed his nap today, i figured it was ok for him to go to bed early. well, we realized that we didn't change the clocks in the kitchen (on the microwave and stove). and then realized that we put nj to bed at 5:30pm!! oops! we might have an early morning tomorrow!
