Day #36

A fairly good day at the DiMarco's. We had a pretty good night. Alden only got up 1 time at 4:30 this morning. He ate and went right back to sleep. So he's slowly but surely getting there. Adam is thinking about giving up his morning nap. This is day 2 with no morning nap. It's probably a good thing he didn't take one today. Between the phone ringing off the hook with FRG issues and the doorbell ringing, he'd have been up anyway. He did redeem himself with a 2 1/2 hour nap this afternoon. We did manage to run some errands today. We had a big outting to the toy store. Grammy went ahead and bought Adam's birthday present so she could just leave it here instead of mailing it. At the toy store Adam discovered the trains. He had the best time playing with them. I think we've got a little railroad conductor on our hands. Today he really started "reading" books with me. He brought me two of his favorite books to read. I would read some and then leave out key words and he would tell me just the words I left out. He really did very well. He knew lots of words from "Are you my Mother?" and a lot of letters and words from "Dr. Seuss's ABC Book." I was very impressed (even if he is my own child).
