I remembered that Mickey Mouse Clubhouse was going to have a Super Heroes show on TV this morning, so first thing I asked when I got to Barbara's home was could I watch it.
GGF and I stood in front of the TV to watch the entire show.  I was so engrossed in the show I didn't hear Barbara the several times she asked me about eating breakfast.  She decided to wait until the show was over to bring it up again.

Daddy bought me a hand-held airplane whose propeller is a lighted fan.  (I'm holding it in the picture above.)  I played with that fan of and on all day.  I asked everyone if they were hot.  If they said yes, I would use my fan on their fact to cool them off.

Barbara and I were sitting on her bed, covered with a quilt, hiding from some monster.  She said it was just too hot under there.  It took me half a sec to say, "Where is my airplane?"  I knew that airplane fan was the answer to cooling her off so she would stay under the quilt with me.  I am always thinking.  

Barbara had to make a business call and I was super super super good, not making a single peep.  I hoped it would earn me a "surprise."  Barbara said you never know, but don't count on it, so I won't think I always have to get "paid" for doing the right things.
It was nice outside so we had batting practice.  I especially love the huddles we have.  I was running and fell hard on the driveway.  I ended up with a very tiny scrap and maybe bump on my forehead and my hands were scraped a bit also.  We went inside to wash my face and hands.  By the time we finished, I was all better and ready to go play again.

We played the normal "Cars" and "Fireman" games.  I helped take apart a jigsaw puzzle.
Most of the day I was very very good.  But we had one major problem.  I accidentally hurt GGM and I refused to say I was sorry.  I ended up in Time Out and I had a major tantrum during Time Out.  I don't just sit down and take it.  I was crying and negotiating that I wanted Time Out in a different place and I wanted to stand up, not sit down.  I ended up having to stay in Time Out two times.  Finally Time Out was over and I said I was sorry and I played very nicely for the next few hours.  Barbara and I had a talk about how much better it would be for me to do the right thing and not be stubborn.
 Barbara and I played Candy Land. 
I played it correctly and I won easily!  

At the end of the day, when Barbara was tired and I was probably tired to, I was doing to much whinging, talking back, and being a pill, so I ended up in Time Out again.  It need to learn that I am not in control of everything and won't always get my way.  Barbara has decided to reread the book 1-2-3 Magic Effective Discipline for Children 2 - 12.   She hopes to better understand how to help me be a happy boy, one that people will want to be friends with.
