Well, we've made it through Day Six and are starting Day Seven. At the moment, the Butter Bean and I are hanging out in the bedroom ostensibly watching Baby Einstein about body parts. In reality, I am typing and the bean is watching the ceiling fan. I could have saved myself $45 in BE videos apparently and just turned on the fan that we already own. Live and learn. Still, he seems satisfied and God knows as long as someone isn't crying, I'm good with it. He really seems to be taking more of an interest in everything that is going on around him. Tonight he played with the same ball that Griffith loves to swat. He isn't quite as coordinated as Griffith at the moment, but he is definitely working on it.
Griffith has fallen asleep in his swing downstairs and neither Jay nor I have what it takes to wake him. As my friend Diane observed to Lee, Griffith has quite a temper. Personally I think he just has really deeply felt beliefs about boundaries. Unfortunately, people just keep messing with him and until they learn to quit it, he is going to have to straighten them out continually.
We have no place to go and nothing to do until Monday morning so, with a little luck, we will hang out, read, sing, play and not watch exorbitantly priced videos and grow for a few more days.
