Farm Visit and Past Experiences
Our day at the farm and a few in between. I can hardly believe it has been over two months since my last blog entry. However, I can honestly say we have been extremely busy and Dominic keeps me on my toes.
Let me see... Dominic now says over 65 words, loves Signing Time with Alex and Leah, rides his little tricycle around the house, loves his homemade rocking horse, and drinks out of a regular little cup.
There are so many days that go by and Dominic had done at least one memorable thing, however, me being so busy with him I don't even remember them an hour later. Here is one example that my husband took the time to write about.
"Sooo, Lee was folding laundry on the couch in the living room. Dominic was messing around throwing the clothes on the floor, so to occupy him, she says "Want to help mommy and bring the towels to the kitchen?" He takes the stack of towels with a big grin and proudly marches off to the kitchen. He returns a minute later, beaming with pride and she gives him another load. Off he goes into the kitchen again. He returns, smiling and happy. Lee is very proud of him now. So she goes into the kitchen, but the towels are nowhere to be found. Where did they go?
Yup, he put the entire load of towels into the garbage can."
I laughed at the way he wrote it!! It was true, but it is so typical of Dominic that I didn't think it a big deal, just very funny!
The one memorable thing I can write about today though is my being locked out. My mom had come down for a brief visit and on her way out she mentioned that I needed to water my plants on the porch. So, I grab a glass full of water to water the one that is really dry. I shut both doors to our new apartment (as both the cat and Dominic will wander out if I don't shut the storm door). I water the plant and as I'm trying to open the door my mom is pulling out of the driveway. I realize much to my chagrin, that Dominic has locked me out of the house. ( To top it off I have absolutely no keys to the apartment. Dominic lost them somewhere one week after we moved and we only had one set. We kept hoping they would turn up somewhere. )
So, I'm screaming at my mom to come back and pull in the driveway. She is thinking "what could possibly be wrong? I just pulled out of the driveway.". I'm frantic!! Just when she pulls back in I get through the door and think what an idiot I am, the door was just stuck. I go to the car to tell my mom what happened and she comes up on the porch and tries the door only to find it truly locked. :-) Luckly my mom has been locked out of her house many times before and easily helped me. I don't know what I would have done if she had not been there!! Thank God for mothers!!!
Now I realize that my son can open and lock doors as well as throw stuff in the trash. He is much more clever and knows far more then I think he should for his age. At 17 months he far exceeds my expectations.
Finally, yesterday we took a trip to my friend and her husband's house to visit the farm. Dominic really enjoyed the visit and loved the tractors. Not only did he get to run around and explore till his heart was content and his feet tired, but he got to visit the cows and can now say cow instead of moo! Yeah!! It was a wonderful day!! I just hope my friends who are non-children people tolorated us alright.
It was a wonderul day and one for the memory bank!
