What a Good Kid

I was lucky to be off today and got to hang it with the Muffin Man all day. He was a sweetheart. It made for a wonderful day.

In the morning he had a bath. He is now able to squeeze the 'little squirter' bath toys all on his own. He seemed surprised. Water squirting up into his chest and neck. I had a good giggle.

After his bath he was mellow. Cuddled in my lap and watched Phineus and Ferb while I cut ALL of his nails, hands and goes. I was so thrilled. Usually such a battle and he just relaxed while I got them done. Man Declan, can it always be this easy!?!

And this evening...big moment. First of all Daddy left the room to clean litter boxes and Declan crawled along looking for him saying "Da Da Da Da". It's not simply sound. He knows what he's saying. Since Daddy was busy I took him for a little visit with Auntie T and Madison. He was making crazy faces and babbling somewhat. Then he made his way back over to me and Cassie was right beside me. She looked all cute having been to the dog groomer today. Declan was tapping her on the nose and laughing. Then he said "Dog". We were all so surprised and excited. Auntie T was trying to encourage Declan to say it again and that's when we got "Doggie". Yay! Another new word. You rock Muffin Man!!
