The theme is the same--more house projects (thank God this will be over in less than a week) and not enough time to devote to Dennis entertainment. He's managing to keep himself amused, though. Today he discovered my guitar and though I returned it to its stand five times, I kept seeing him walking around with it. It's taller than he is! I ran a dust rag over it and strummed a few chords for him, but he was already off doing something else at the time.
He could not stop talking about trains today. He was playing with his toy trains and he enunciates very carefully: "trr-rain", and he uses a very high pitch to say it. He also says this whenever he hears a train whistle in the distance or whenever we cross the bridge over the tracks in the car. He just loves trains! Too bad he hadn't discovered this passion before we rode the Halloween Express, but he'll get to enjoy the train ride in Washington next month.
Today's nativity adventure: I was unloading the dishwasher and reloading it, and when I turned back from the sink, the stable from his nativity set was sitting in the dishwasher on the bottom rack. He was standing there watching to see what I'd do, and I asked him if it was dirty! He laughed, and then took it back out to the living room. I suppose it was a baby prank. He was helping me load it, bringing me his little fork from wherever in the house he took it earlier today and putting it in the silverware basket.
The picture shows how I found him a number of times today. I kept hearing him say "down", and went in the den to discover him on top of the table. He is quite the climber these days. I'd get him down and he'd climb right back up and demand to be gotten down again. I left him for a bit, watching him and not getting him down, and he just sat there looking around. Eventually I figured out to push the chairs farther under the table. Duh. He stayed safely on the ground after that.
