David took over Dennis Detail this afternoon so that I could go to the gym and then have dinner in town with the girls (the local girls, meaning Mom, Becky, and Dianne) lest anyone think I ran out and got some new friends in all my spare time. I was a little reluctant to let him go because we'd had such a nice afternoon. He 'helped' us cook brownies today by putting two plastic eggs in a pot and stirring them with a wooden ruler and plastic knife while the pot sat on his play cooktop, which in turn sat on top of the recycling box. And he read his book to me today. His favorite Gran's house book is called I Love You Through and Through, and he likes to have it read to him over and over. Parts of the book say "I love your happy side, your sad side, your inside, your outside, your silly side, your mad side, your fingers and toes" etc. (not necessarily in that order). I caught Dennis flipping the book pages and saying "jibblejudawgoo side jalubeedoh side side side phoo toe nose ear jubuloobooloo book teeth eye". When I asked him to point out his toes, he went to the book and turned the page to the part about the toes. I'm just tickled that real words are mixed in with the gibberish and that those real words were mostly in the book.
He was very sweet today. He actually took two naps, and it's been a week since he's done that. I am wondering if it's time to switch to the toddler bed since he's now eaten nearly through a big section of the side of his crib. I'm surprised that he's doing this now after he's already gotten so many of his teeth. In fact, all four canine teeth have broken through the gums and are coming in right now, and I can't see how they'd drive him to teethe more than the molars did. We are up to a total of sixteen teeth now, a real mouth full!
He spent the evening playing in his room with his Daddy and I didn't get any more details than that. I suppose they were doing guy things, mysterious Y chromosome driven activities that I'm not allowed to know anything about, most likely involving wheels and destruction. It was probably good for both of them.
