Today we didn't go anywhere. It was wonderful!! The day started out at 7:30am again, but it was only so Joe could get up and make me breakfast in bed!!! It was amazing! After I finished my breakfast Joe cuddled with me until I fell asleep and then he cleaned the kitchen!!!! What an amazing morning! Once I was finally up and about we had some lovely time together as a family. Joli went out on the porch and screamed "A roly-poly! Squish it!!", so I went out there and showed her how nice they are and that they do not bite. I got her to sit close to me and watch at first.
After a few minutes she was a little less freaked out and wanted to hold the roly-poly herself so she held out her forefinger and said "Here, get on". She's very bossy, that girl.
While I was showing Joli the different bugs, Kota and Joe watched. Joe has been trying to spend a significant amount of time with Kota in an effort to calm him down. He seems to be doing better, and at the very least he is definitely happier!
Joe and I were trying to convince Joli to be a little more daring and also to trust us. I couldn't get her to stand on the railing, but of course what little girl doesn't listen to her daddy!
After a few minutes we decided to head down into the backyard with Kota and Joe. Joli escaped into her playhouse.
Kota was calm enough that we were able to sit on the patio and get a little sun. Joe took off his shirt to tan his whiteness and Joli sat down with him.
We headed back inside to make some lunch while listening to Joli sing "Honey, Honey" off the Mamma Mia Soundtrack. So when we got inside I put on the CD for her. She sang right along word for word.
After lunch Joli was able to talk Joe into having a tea party with us. She is an excellent little hostess and made sure we all got plenty of tea.
I put iced tea in the tea pot so we didn't have to suffer through our tea party. Joe was a good sport and drank his even though he doesn't like tea.
After we all had a nap and a nice restful afternoon, I got up to start dinner before Chris and Kacie came over. A few days ago Jessica sent back the bouncy chair that Joli used when she was a baby so that we could use it for Charlotte when they're over at our house. I was so excited to see that Charlotte LOVED it! She sat in it the whole time I was making dinner and all the way through our meal, what an angel!
After dinner we all hung out and relaxed and Joli served us all pretend tea. Chris was so excited to have another male to talk to! The past three weeks he's been on estrogen overload and now he has a friend again! It was a lovely evening and a wonderful day!
