I woke up not really knowing where I was.  In just a few seconds I realized I was at Barbara's home.  I was very talkative while we laid in bed and talked about what happened yesterday and about our plans for today.

I watched an episode of Wild Kratts about spiders and their webs while Barbara got dressed to go meet Kristan and get Anna Kate.  When Barbara returned I was still suggled under the covers watching TV.

I had some oatmeal and a bunch of raisins, maybe half a cup and I wanted some raisins in my lunch too.  I wanted Anna Kate to drive with us to school, but she had to stay home and eat her own rice cereal.  She has a schedule and we try to stick to it as much as possible

After school we stopped at Panda Express to get our favorites, because the workers are at the hosue working on sheet rock and painting ceilings and we wanted to stay out of the way as much as possible.  We all hunkered down in the big TV room, where no repair work will be done.

I played a couple of games on the iPad, then Barbara suggested we play outside.  Oh, that's right.... Barbara has a new trike so we can go on rides.  We rode around the block.  I am much much faster than Barbara is, but we had fun.

GGM was holding Anna Kate, who loves being outside.  If she is ever unhappy, just take her outside.  That cheers her like nothing else can.

Barbara and I played baseball.  We had four balls.  Barbara would pitch all four balls to me, then she would run to gather them up while I walked around the bases.  I beat her back to home plate every time.

Then something happened which made Barbara angry with me.  I broke something that was not mine and I was not sorry and showed no remorse.  Barbara was not angry because I broke something, but because I was not remorseful.    She told me to sit on the sofa in the garage until my mother came to pick me up, which would be in two hours.  I could only get up to use the bathroom, then I had to go back to the sofa.  I sat there for thirty minutes, before I fell asleep.  My mom woke me up and took me home.  Barbara was upset for several hours.  She knew I was just being defensive and probably I was embarrassed with the way I reacted but she didn't know how to help me have an acceptable reaction.

Beckett's retina repair was successful and he has only six more days to stay with his head facing the ground.  Either his mom or dad have to stay up with him at night, to make sure he keeps his head facing down while he sleeps.  Boy, that would be so very very hard.  They have figured out a way for him to watch TV.  That would help, but it still would be mighty hard.
