Dennis played so nicely alone in his room for long stretches of time today. I was able to get some housework done, and I enjoyed periodic visits to his room to play or read with him. On one such visit, I went in and he brought me his Moo Baa La La La book and announced "Sheep go baa!". I told him he was exactly right. And then I called his daddy and his gran to brag about his brilliance.
He wanted to wear hats all day and traded off between his red cowboy hat (which was David's as a child) and his park ranger hat (a souvenir bought from his first national park--the Great Smoky Mountain National Park). He's equally cute in both. I also surprised him with a new shirt that Gran had purchased a few weeks back, part of an entire outfit with owls on both shirts. He was so thrilled to see the shirt, and he proclaimed "who who" several times as he was helping me put it on him. At random intervals for the remainder of the time he wore it, he pointed to his chest and said "who who". I'm glad he was so thrilled with it. I think I can remember loving an owl shirt of my own when I was very young.
He loves the new arrangement of furniture in the living room, which I finished tonight before I headed to the gym. His table and chairs and in there, and I set up his Fisher Price nativity set for him. It's almost the season for it, and it's never too early to hear about Jesus, so we talked about the characters and he played with them, tucking baby Jesus into the stable along with a camel and a sheep (Mary and Joseph watched from the sidelines). It's going to be a wonderful holiday season this year. I'm so excited!
