Gran kept Dennis this morning while Mommy and Daddy voted. And after that, Dennis and I spent the majority of our day with Gran. He took a couple of small naps at her house, and we did some shopping at Wal-Mart. We had 'high tea' together, where Dennis enjoyed some Cheetos with his tea. Dennis loves Cheetos. We were in a store on Halloween, and he picked up the bag of Cheetos as if he knew what they were, and he finally finished that bag today. He was orange when he finished, and as I went to retrieve the baby wipes, Gran gave him a marshmallow candy eyeball to eat. He was a sticky mess but cleaned up easily enough.
We also had a nice afternoon visit to the park. We strolled Dennis for the first mile we walked, and after that, Gran played chase and hide-and-seek with him while I walked a second mile. We're unclear who got the better workout! Dennis enjoyed climbing on and off the picnic tables, and pointed out the train as it went by. He was so excited about the train that he walked the walking track in the direction it had gone, saying "bye bye" to the train for several minutes after it was out of sight.
After the walk, we came home to cook dinner, and it was a real struggle to keep Dennis awake until bedtime. He still hasn't gotten used to the time change. He was, however, extremely happy to take his bath tonight, and he was so tired after that he sat still through an entire reading of One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish. Afterward, he went to the bathroom to have his teeth brushed, and then demanded "night night". I hope he sleeps well. Tomorrow when he wakes up, we'll tell him who won the election. I'm sure he's thinking about it right now.
