When I went into his room to pack up his diaper bag for the day, I found that he'd set up this little drive-in theater. Apparently he thought his cars were in the mood to watch Bee Movie so he set it up for them and turned it on. This is his portable DVD player. He knows how to operate it almost better than we do. Not that he's completely techno-savvy, however. I found a calculator hanging out of the VCR this morning and the remote control to our stereo was resting nicely on the DVD drawer that was sticking out of the player. The remote control for the DVD player has been missing for weeks. I'm hopeful it didn't get flushed. I'd like to think it's too big for that. So far he hasn't put any foreign objects in the toilet (then again, he knows how to use the plunger, so I suppose I can't be absolutely certain of that).
We spent the day helping Gran with some projects and shopping for household necessities for the lake place. Dennis was delighted that he got to eat a hamburger for supper and said "burger" and "hamburger" for a while. He said "drop cracker" and "apple juice floor uh-oh" to let us know which objects were no longer in his car seat with him. He behaved pretty well for a little fellow who was strapped into his car seat or a shopping cart for a good portion of the day, but he was so happy to get home tonight. He was a bit drowsy when I was unbuckling his seatbelt and he looked up at me and asked "home?". I replied "yes, we're home" and his smile was big and just lit his face as he sighed "ahhhhhhhhh" happily. He did some major Fisher Price playset playing before he picked out his own pajamas (dinosaurs tonight--he's starting to like dinosaurs) and zipped them up all by himself (and applauded himself for his effort). He tried to negotiate for a showing of Bee Movie when we put him in his crib, but we insisted on night night instead. He still goes to sleep instantly and easily, but he's beginning to ask for objects or movies at bedtime. It's all part of growing up, I guess.
