A day in Athens
Yesterday was strange, Cyndi & I kept Perrin for the evening. It was rather nice. We took him and Devin out to McDonald’s for dinner, then brought Perrin back to the house for a few hours so Amanda could have a nice evening along (which is a different story which did not play out as planned). Around 8 we dropped the little guy off at home so he could go to sleep. About three quarters the way back from dropping him off we realized that we still had his car seat, so rather then back tracking we just decided I’d spend the day at his house to babysit rather then having him here.
Amanda does not have cable so we watched cartoons on DVD. There is one DVD I actually like of various Looney Toons, though there are several on it that are rather humdrum. Ir was during one of these lame episodes that I took this picture of us with my cell.
A bit later I laid him down for his afternoon nap. He went to sleep rather quickly for me having him at his house so YAY 4 that. He also slept rather well… in fact, well enough for me to screw his heater vent onto the floor so he’d stop pulling it up and using it for a toy disposal. I also fixed the bathroom door which would not latch properly (I’m such the handy man). When it was time for him to wake up I made a bit of a ruckus on my way into his room (he dislikes being woke up, but is generally fine with ‘waking up’ hence the noises).
He woke up utterly perplexed as he could not figure out where he was at first, then could not figure out why I was there with him. He was so confused he held a pillow in front of him (as if in protection) and just looked around. Once the fear and confusion wore off he turned into his normally chipper self…but with a horrible case of pillow head…
The rest of the day was fine. When Cyndi and Amanda got out of work Cyndi and I headed out to run a few errands. Then we called Amanda and ate a nice dinner at Western Sizzlen. After that we went shopping, then it wasback home to feed the cats, dogs, and of course the 52 chickens…
