blueberry giggles

Today was Mommy's day out! I went shopping with a friend today and Mom offered to watch Dennis all day. He got to spend the day playing with his Gran and Pop. They took him for wagon rides and read I Love You Through and Through to him dozens of times. They watched him climb stairs and strew paperwork and push buttons. He made some calls on the speakerphone and switched the tv input away from the satellite receiver and Pop had to figure out how to get the picture back. He played on the computer some. He napped when Gran napped and really enjoyed their company when awake.

He apparently discovered his own little internal rhythm this week, and he's been dancing up a storm. His Gran offered him juice and he danced all over the kitchen. For Dennis, dancing means stomping his feet rapidly up and down. It's very very cute.

And, he discovered that he really likes blueberries today. Gran offered him his own little fruit assortment, and to take away the tartness of it, she even gave him whipped cream. But the blueberries were the only fruit he seemed to like. She said he'd put a blueberry in his mouth and giggle and eat it, then spit out the blueberry skin. He'd giggle for every berry he ate. And after his nap, when the blueberries came back out of the refrigerator, he saw them and danced and giggled.

Dennis has been blessed with some wonderful grandparents all around, and I love that he got to enjoy some special time with two of them today.
