bossy little guy

I had another nice day with Dennis. We played around here and when I needed a break, he went to play in his room for a while (thank you, baby gate). I heard happy sounds for a while and toys crashing about, and then it was quiet. When I looked in on him, he had put himself to bed for his nap. He stayed there over 2 hours! This evening when we were getting supper ready, Dennis called both of us to sit on the couch with him, patting the cushions beside him and saying "sit right here, Daddy sit right here, Mommy". We did so and then he asked "want some chocolate milk? you stay there and I be right back". He went to the refrigerator, opened it, and called out "stay there--want some apple juice?" and then brought us the gallon sized jug of apple juice.

Tonight he took the kind of bath where we were leaning over the tub rather than being in there with him. He delighted in the fact that he could stretch out full length and lie in the water. He wallowed all around, kicking and laughing and playing with all his bath toys. I enjoyed his presence today very much, especially when we went to the playground after supper. He wanted me to play with him on every structure. He'd say "come on Mommy go up steps, go down slide with Dennis". He also accompanied me on my evening walk at the track near the playground and slept in the stroller through the last mile. He woke up and chatted with me in the car all the way home, though, and he's such good company!
