Demolition Man

Sept 23 - Today I woke up close to 8am which Mommy thanked me for. Today was one of those nice low key days spent at home with Mommy. Mommy played on the floor with me for a while this morning. One of my favorite things right now is for Mommy to stack all of the shapes from the shape sorter and I will come over and knock them all down. Mommy and I race, I try to knock them down before she can stack all 10 blocks. I usually win.

I practiced my step up and step down off the fireplace hearth pad. I am getting really good and careful to step down and not face plant onto the floor. I have started to test my boundaries too. There are a few places in the family room that I am not supposed to go which makes them places that I really, really want to go to such as the tv stand with all the electronic and under the table next to the couches where there is a surge protector. I know that I am not allowed but it is funny when Mommy says "No" and pulls me away. Mommy is not amused.

I also play more and more with my animals. I like petting my doggies and Apollo and Osiris are getting better about letting me pet them or crawl on them. They are putting up with me pretty well. And Salem is taunting me by flicking his tail. He makes me want to grab it. I was able to catch it for a couple of seconds today but he pulls it away too fast. I will get him good one day.

I spent a lot of time with Daddy once he got home. He chased me away from the tv stand a bunch of times and when he had enough he sat me on the couch and held me for a while in something he called a time out. I wanted to get back down and play but he made me sit there for a few minutes. I cried. But Mommy agreed that it would be best to sit for a bit. But then we got back down and played for a while. Daddy makes me laugh a lot.

I also practiced my standing a lot more, on everything. And I am not holding on as tight so I can practice standing on my own.

After all that playing, Mommy got me ready for bed around 7pm and I was sleep shortly after that.
