What a fun weekend! And we’re still in the middle of it! It’s Labor Day and we have one more day to play. Saturday Mommy & Daddy’s friend Allison came to visit. She’s a lot of fun. I think she played with me the most. AND… she had a sleepover in my little bed. It was pretty neat to look over at 7am and have another person in my room!

And then yesterday, we packed up the car and went to Lake Geneva to play with Elise! There’s another girl with my name! She’s four and my Daddy and her daddy work together. We went all over the place – played in her house, ate watermelon by the firepit and, best of all, went tubing in the boat! I first tried it out with Daddy, but then I was ready for the real thing. Elise and Elise went around and around the lake until it was too cold, getting too dark and we were too hungry.

The day was so fun that I fell asleep in the car and Daddy put me to bed in my clothes!

Hey! I fell asleep in my clothes too! I didn’t wear myself out going tubing, but I got to ride in the boat and watch the sun set on Lake Geneva. It was beautiful… especially since I was enjoying it with a nice cold formula and good friends.

I’ve been napping a lot lately. I fall asleep in the darndest places too. On the floor of my jungle gym. On Mommy & Daddy’s bed (I was there for 5 minutes and… out). On couches and in my swing too. I sleep and I eat! In addition to my cereal two times a day, I’ve been testing new fruits and vegetables. Green beans… they’re ok. Carrots… like ‘em. Bananas… love ‘em! Popsicles…AWESOME!

Have I ever mentioned drooling? Specifically, myself and drooling in the same sentence. No? I have an explanation for it now… teeth. I got me some. Two of ‘em. They’re not quite showing yet, but the sharp little things are there and should prove to be useful soon when I’m devouring a freshly grilled steak. Watch me.

What an awesome weekend! While Mommy and Daddy had their weekend in Lake Geneva, me and Evan hung out with Nana and Papa and had WAY more fun (if you ask me). We started the weekend with birthday cake – Daddy’s! – and then had more birthday cake at another party. I was hanging out with all the big people and got myself my own dinner too… a hamburger and some fruit. Came home and jumped in the tub. Read some stories and then off to dreamy dreamland. The next morning, Nana made heart pancakes and I got my own spa day – a mani/pedi with hot pink polish. After a nap we were off to meet up with Mommy and Daddy.

And then… the fly. Daddy and I played a round of croquet before a late lunch outside by all the boats at the marina. Sandwiches for everyone and then the bugs arrived. I was having a conversation with my Dad when the mean fly landed on my food. I tried to hit it, but he flew away. I tried to hit it some more times, but I just looked like I was acting silly. I decided to stay with the silly route… it didn’t make me look incompetent that I couldn’t hit the fly.

Another sleepover at Nana and Papa’s for me! Second one of the summer. I totally have them trained… I whine and cry – I get a snack. I fuss – I get a new diaper. I crab – I get a nap. And all they want in return is some big smiles and baby jibber-jabber. Suckers!

So, while Daddy was getting massaged and Mommy was getting pedicured, I was having Nana and Papa eat out of my hand. They had me so busy smiling that I pooped myself out and slept a lot. Being happy is a tiring job! Note to future, employable self: rethink becoming the guy in the Mickey Mouse costume.

Now we’re all home, eating more of Daddy’s birthday cake and sleeping in our own beds. Feels good to be home, but we can’t wait to do it again!
