Daddy ~ Declan Evening

Since Daddy didn't have to work today the three of us had all morning and afternoon to spend together.  Daddy picked up Tim Horton's for us for breakfast and he included an old fashioned Timbit for Declan to try.  Declan, I wanted him to get you the sweet, glazed Timbit but Daddy said it has too much sugar.  Sorry.  I'll get you a sweet one next time.  Anyway - Declan got to try his first Timbit.  Daddy cut it up into four pieces and then I held it out for him to help himself to.  He grabbed for it immediately and started squishing it in his fingers.  He did at one point put a piece in his mouth but it did not appeal to him.  It just sort of hung there for a bit and then he let it drop out and then squished it in his hands.  Squishing.  That's all he thinks a Timbit is good for. 

The rest of the day was pretty normal, some playtime, some songs, some dancing, some books...which he was tearing things out of, some bottles and a bath.

In the evening Mommy was heading out with Grandpa Gale, Auntie T and Madison to go to a football game so it was Daddy and Declan time.  Daddy buddled up his little buddy and they went for a nice walk in the cool fall air.  Declan's cheeks were all rosey when they got back and his little nose was a bit chilly.  The rest of him was toasty warm having been all tucked up in his fleece blanket.

Daddy and Declan checked out some of the football game on TV and the kid still loves watching sports.  All the action, colours, sounds...it's just perfect for wee boys.

Then off to bed at 9pm without any fuss.  From wide away when Daddy put him down to sound asleep and snoring by 9:05pm.  Daddy was so happy about how his night went with his bud and couldn't wait to tell Mommy about it when she got in after the game.
