Bonding

Yesterday, because of the early morning support call, I was able to leave the office early. I got home just in time for lunch. Of course I needed some sleep so I asked Gretchen to entertain Jeanne while I slept. I woke up later in the afternoon and after a while Jeanne came in and asked to go outside. So out we went to the garden and watched some kittens play. We also went to the playground and she played with the swing but it started to drizzle so we had to go back inside and played with her Duplos.

After dinner we sat on the sofa and watched The Hunter. Of course, she really wasn’t interested and was drawing mostly. After the movie, we went through her bedtime routine: drank vitamins, brushed teeth, wiped down, and prepared for bed. I promised to read her a book and I read her Red Riding Hood. And then it was sleepy time. She tossed and turned for a while and asked for water but she generally wasn’t very fussy. Pretty quickly, she quieted down and was soon asleep. That was new!
