We stayed at home as long as possible today to let Dennis recover a bit from this very exciting week he's had. He took a very long morning nap, but as soon as he woke up, he was demanding "want to go to lake house, want to see Ju-Ju Steve, want to see Gran Pop, want to see Judy Don, want to go see Grandma Bob, want to see Uncle Denny". (need to teach him how to say 'and')
So of course we went to the lake house to see everyone and Dennis enjoyed a boat ride and some fishing with everyone. We had a big fish fry supper and Dennis was so anxious to eat it that he danced around the place telling everyone "ready eat" or "ready to eat". Waiting for everything to be cooked was tough on the little guy. Supper was late enough that he was sleepy, and that of course means he was completely wired. He ran into things and tripped and fell, and at one point, he slammed into his rocking chair and turned and said to it "I sorry, know that hurts". It tickles me every time he apologizes to inanimate objects! Every time Steve brought in a new platter of fish or hush puppies cooked next door, Dennis piped up "thank you, Steve".
He was happy to have a brownie for dessert, munching happily and saying "hot chockey cake, thank you Daddy" with his chocolate encrusted smiling mouth. David took him home immediately after supper and he kept pulling on me and trying to get me to come as well, but I stayed long enough to finish my supper and visit for a last evening with our guests. Tonight Dennis patted me on the shoulder and said "sweet girl, Mommy". I took it as a compliment even though that's what he says about the dog! He was full of sweetness and cuteness all day--all week, really. It just makes my heart full to bursting seeing him so happy.
