Lots of housework

Dec 17 - I slept in til about 9:30am! I told you I was exhausted. And when I did wake up I just played in my crib and didn't make a peep. Mommy came to check on me and I was sitting up, sucking on my pacifier, playing with my blanket. Mommy told me that I was such a good boy and we started our day.

After breakfast Mommy told me that we have a lot to do around the house today. We started in my room and I watched as she straightened up and grabbed my dirty laundry. Then we went to her room and I played with the baby in the mirror while she changed the sheets, got her dirty clothes, changed her closet wardrobe to her winter clothes, put her summer clothes in the plastic bins under the bed, and dusted. She was running around constantly tidying up. Off to do the dishes and put all the clean clothes away. I was a good little helper until I started to get really hungry.

She nursed me and I started to fall asleep. She knew that I needed to eat my lunch before I went to sleep so she put me in my highchair. I just wanted to sleep but she told me I had to eat first. I ate a little and she finally caved. She layed me back in her lap and I went to sleep for a while.

When I woke up Daddy was home and he had wrapped a bunch of Christmas presents for Mommy and me. I found them on the floor but before I could tear into them Mommy picked me up and told me, "not till Christmas." I followed her around again while she finished doing a few more things and cooking dinner. I was playing in the fridge with my lemon and investigating all the things on the fridge door. I found the taco sauce bottle and dropped it, breaking it. Mommy grabbed me before I could "investigate" the glass and brought me into the family room and put me in my highchair while she cleaned it up. It was time to eat anyway. Mommy gave Daddy his dinner and then started to feed me. I was about half way through my meal when Daddy came over and took over so Mommy could eat. After I was done I played with Daddy. I watched him play ping pong and played with my toys. After a long day of being Mommy's little helper it was time to call it a night. I was asleep a little after 8:30pm.
