build bob

Gigi bought a Bob the Builder video for Dennis yesterday and today we watched it. Dennis loved it, of course, and wanted to watch it several times ("want to watch Build Bob"). He was calm and sweet today, not too angry about the baby gate though he did spend 15 minutes in bed with us this morning after we heard him calling us. He went back to bed and to sleep easily. David took his crib out of his room last night, and it used to rest right against the foot of his toddler bed. He might have felt a little strange this morning waking up and not seeing the crib there.

He helped me grocery shop today. But I managed to sneak a bottle of Hershey's syrup into the cart that he didn't see (I bougth the Lite syrup, so I can have a little as well!). Imagine his delight when he put his sippy cup to his lips tonight at supper and tasted it. We rarely have chocolate milk at home and it's his very favorite beverage (though he was anxious to try the cranberry juice he picked out at the store). Tonight he put down his cup and smiled so big and exclaimed in pure delight "Choc-key Milk!!!". He clapped his hands. Totally worth the two dollars.
