Manly Friday

Today I was able to stay home with Gavin for a change. Typically on Fridays I have to work at least part of the day, or have project around the house to work on (read: bathroom renovation). But today I was lucky enough to not have an overwhelming work load, and the bathroom renovation is a bit of a limbo at the moment.

To say that today was great would be a bit of a stretch. G wasn't feeling real great today. He wanted to be constantly held for most of the day. He was cranky most of the day as well. But I would much rather him be with me on a cranky day than be that much more unhappy with his teachers at daycare. They might not be able to give him the attention that he wants on those unhappy days.

We stuck to his normal routine as much as possible today. G and I were able to fit in a Wal Mart run this afternoon for a few necessities. He scored a cool new orange Tonka truck on the toy aisle. But he really really didn't want to give it to the check out lady so that she could scan it....Then around 5:30 we headed to meet Miranda for dinner. We all went to see the high school theatre group perform their winter musical of Footloose. Gavin was good for about the first 30 minutes, but just didn't have the patience to sit still for any longer than that. So we headed home and he is now sound asleep after a long day with Dad.
