Day 2: A Perfect Saturday

Well, things could've gone one of two ways after yesterday, up or down. Fortunately for all concerned it was up, up, up. A day filled with a couple of long naps (and yeah, I took advantage of GrandBoy's morning nap to take one of my own), sticking to the schedule, eating all the designated food, playing outside and letting the breeze blow through our hair, laughing, singing, and dancing.

I'm trying to introduce some new songs to his repertoire. His top two favs - "Head and Shoulders, Knees and Toes" and "If You're Happy And You Know It" - are getting a little old. Our standard mealtime song is now "Sing, Sing A Song." Liam particularly likes the "La la la la la, la la la la la la" part. Always makes him smile, even with a mouthful of peas. I'm also getting him ready for Christmas caroling with "Away In A Manger," "Midnight Clear," and "First Noel."

We welcomed in the 2010 college football season with a photo session, complete with his baby TCU t-shirt and his mama's Alabama cap. Alas, neither game was televised in Atlanta and both were scheduled after his bedtime. I'm sure he'll have several chances to catch up with both teams later on in the season.

Baby Boy is sound asleep after his busy day. Wish you could see him right now, in his little footed pajamas, tiny butt up in the air, sweet little hands next to his face. A good day deserves a good night's rest.

Sweet dreams, sweet GrandBoy.
