I slept until 8:30 so I missed saying bye to my mommy.  But I was told that she gave me several kisses while I was asleep. 

I played outside several times today.  We did a bunch of running playing Tag or kicking my big red ball.  I would tell Barbara, "It is time to go inside.  I am tired."  We read many of my new books today, some of them we read two or three times.  I asked for stories but not too many, so every time Barbara was willing to make up a new story.  Also today I mostly let her make up the story line.

I helped do laundry and helped sweep the wood floors.  The rest of the day was spent playing.

I found a little chest with two decks of cards in it and I played with them for more than an hour all by myself.  Barbara did not understand most of the things I was saying to myself, but I was very busy doing hard work.  Barbara asked me if I wanted a snack.  I said, "You fix it and let me know when it is ready.  I'm busy working hard right now."

I would not stop playing to take a bath and Barbara was not going to force the issue.  I did not take a nap.  I was happy all day with only one minor Time Out.  I told Barbara I did not like her and she said she liked me.  That did not make me happy.  But give me a couple of minutes and I have moved on and you would never know I was recently pouting.

Daddy picked me up from Barbara after work and we went out to eat Daddy's birthday dinner with Mimz and Bob Finch.  I ate fish and had some gumbo.  I liked it.  I behaved perfectly at the restaurant.  I pretended to be the waiter.  I would ask everyone what they wanted for dinner.  I watched the waitress carry a tray and I picked up a bread plate and put it flat on my hand like a tray.  I even tried to raise it up by my shoulder like I was carrying a tray.  I am observant.  We went back home to have cake and ice cream.  I helped Daddy blow out his candles.  Yesterday was Daddy's birthday.
