Life's Rough

This afternoon, after Mommy did Costco shopping and picked me up from daycare, we watched Stewart, our handyman, tear apart our lanai railing.  I was a little apprehensive of the whole thing....the saw, the hammer, the swearing...I watched from afar, meaning the other side of the kitchen and just stared at him through the sliding glass door.  Every once in awhile, Mommy would go out there to go talk to him and I would kind of freak out because I wasn't sure if she was coming back.  But, when she showed me how I could practice using the same tools on my Elmo workbench, it made me smile.  Maybe I will be a handyman someday too.

We have no railing now on our lanai.  This means, if you walk out on our deck, you see nothing but the beautiful city view below, and a 30 foot drop.  It's kinda neat when looking out of the window, but scarier when you're out there on the deck.  The 30 year old galvanized bolts and nails were all rusted to practically nothing.  So, it's a good thing we're repairing the deck.

After Stewart was done for the day, I went upstairs to play at Auntie Stevi's house.  It's nice to be able to go to someone else's house and run wild.  That I did.  I climbed up and down the sofa, ran around in circles around the kitchen and the living room, screaming at the top of my lungs. Auntie Stevi asked Mommy what she fed me because I was so hyper.  I climbed and jumped on the exercise bench, threw myself into the couch a few times, and even pulled Mommy's hair just for fun (though she didn't like that last one too much).  

I wore myself out so much that I started falling asleep sitting in my highchair while I was eating dinner.  Mommy said I was a grouch during the bath because I was so tired.  I fell asleep a little after 7 pm.  Boy, it's rough being a toddler.
