Tootie at Five Guys

Today was ridiculous. People are ridiculous. The way people rationalize their thoughts and actions are ridiculous. Ok. So that is how my day started. Around 4 or so, I had decided that I could no longer be in my living room. We took some books back to nasty Pike library, to which we will never return. I was tired of eating lean cuisines for dinner, so we went over o Five Guys for a very tasty burger. Sophie and her dad usually go there on the weekends, without me, because I am usually having me time, which usually involves nothing remotely relaxing for me.

She delights in their fries and sweet tea. She also likes the music they play there. They had on some DMB, and she was swaying back and forth in her chair giggling. I just happened to have my camera and got a couple good shots.

We came back home and Soph demanded to watch YBCR, because the Itsy Bitsy Spider song is on there. She now knows how to open the DVD player, take out the disc, without touching the playing side, she sticks one finger in the center and one on the edge. She holds the disc up to me and I stick in the right one and she closes the door to the DVD player and pushes play. She must have been paying close attention to all the times I have done this. I think it is funny every time. David just realized last week that she has this skill. He was laughing hysterically when he saw her do it. He started to play a DVD and here came Toot, I told him to let her do it, and he just sat there watching. I was proud. I took all the credit for teaching her that. She knows how to put start n the dishwasher and likes to close the little door where the soap goes. She really enjoys "helping".

Close to bedtime, I let her have her little snack with her last cuppie of milk for the day. I guess she was ready for bed, because after I got her jammies on, she just walked on back to her room. She does this every so often. It really makes me laugh as I am following her. She has quite the bedtime routine. At least she doesn't fight it. She rarely wakes up in the night. When she does it is just until she or I locate her paci. She goes to the bookshelf and waits for me to turn on her sleep music and light. Then I put her in her crib, get a hug and she hands me which blankie she wants covered with. It amazes me that she established such a little routine. So that was it for today. I exercised after she went to bed, watched some Biggest Looser for motivation and now I am going to read.
