Up at about 8am this morning. He woke up and didn't make a noise. Declan just layed in the playpen looking at Mommy and waiting for her to get off the bed and come get him. It was worth it, because once I walked to his side he was all smiles, best start to the day.
Declan was a good little man and took a wee nap while Mommy and Daddy had breakfast with Grandma and Grandpa. Then we had to wake him up and get him ready for the days adventures.
First we were off to Daddy's old work - HMV on Sparks Street. We parked at the World Exchange Plaza and Daddy carried Declan in his arms rather than in the car seat because...let's be honest, it gets really heavy carrying him in the car seat. Declan was able to see Crystal and Lorenzo and even spie a couple movies he'd like to have one day. Once little man had seen enough of HMV we headed back to the car. Mommy called her boss to see what store she was at and it was Rideau so off we were again to Rideau for one last visit. Little Declan was so good. Each time we were in the car he would doze off for a mere few minutes just to be awaken once more for a new activity. The little guy just wasn't getting any sleeps.
We made it out of Rideau and back to the Grandparents just in time for a diaper change and a quick stretch out on the floor with Grandpa. Very sweet, Grandpa was showing Declan a cute little book about colours and they bonded nicely.
Then we hit the road once more so that Mommy, Daddy and Declan could see Grandpa and Grandma's new house that is being built...more sleep interupted but Declan was pretty good all this time.
Once we got back at 4pm we were joined by Aunt Jackie, Uncle Peter, Aunt Marissa and Cousins Alex, Corbin and Holden. This proved to be a little much for a small guy who had been so good for so long. Cranky pants set in. To get some reprieve Declan lounged in the bouncy chair in the big bay window watching the leaves blow in the trees. He even got in a few winks before waking up to wine during dinner. I think he'd really had enough. Not too fussy or difficult but he was out of sorts. As the night wound down Declan just relaxed with Mommy and blocked out the world around him. He did get somewhat sweaty laying on Mommy so Aunt Marissa got a cold cloth to place on his head and Mommy unbuttoned his jammies. He stared at Mommy for a little while then slowly fell into a deep sleep around 9pm. Now finally some uninterupted sleep. Mommy took Declan to the playpen for bedtime and he is now fast asleep. Now tomorrow a long car ride back to Milton but then little man we promise things will get back to normal for a bit so you can get your rest.
