He Slurps the Milk

A few weeks ago when I was eating breakfast with Bright I drank the leftover milk out of my cereal bowl. He watched with amusement and fascination. For the past several breakfast sessions that have involved a bowl of Cheerios and whole milk for him, I have let him drink the milk out the bowl at the end. It brings him so much delight and also hurries him along with eating all those Cheerios. Now he does it loudly and adds the occasional "Ahhh!" afterwards. The folks in the Tokyo noodle shops would have been pleased with his performance.

We have started digging in our garden here. Bright loves it! Tonight he got right into on his own and started swishing his hands in the dirt back and forth really fast. Then before you know it he had taken off his shoes and was just having a ball. We had one really gnarly tub of bath water tonight when he got out of it.

Not much else is new here. Some re-arranging in the apartment since we have decided to stay put for a while. Might as well make it more cozy. Bright has fallen back into a more lousy sleep routine of later put downs and early wake ups (like 4:45). I am not sure that anyone else but us hears those damn birds singing that early in the morning. It's too bad that such a nice sound can make you cranky.
