Tater Tots in a Birthday Suit

7  May 2013

Dear Josslyn,

Your Uncle Trevor and Uncle Dave share a birthday and it's today.

You called each of them while you were in the bathtub tonight. Uncle Trevy's phone went straight to voicemail, so you left him a nice message. Uncle Dave answered and you talked to him for a while.

You enjoyed it so much you also called Grandma Laursen and chatted with her while you dried off and got your pajamas on.

Speaker phone on cell phones is pretty handy for multitasking babies.

The bath usually indicates the end of your day, but that wasn't the case today. After your bath, you and I return a Redbox movie we  decided not to watch and then finished delivering the second half of mom's Issaquah Press paper route.

We did the first half of the route after you and mom picked me up from work.

We've learned to take breaks after your car sickness moment.

We broke up the routes today with an inadvertent trip to Hallmark for some Mother's Day shopping.

You loved all Hallmark had to offer. You pointed at all the pretty  decorations, and ran up and down the aisles grabbing cards and envelopes. You stopped every now and then to read from the cards and books.

We ate dinner at Taco Time until mom needed to go to Young   Women's. You and I dropped her off and came home to change your diaper and my clothes.

You and mom had a pretty full day, so your diaper was extremely full of number 1. The absorbency of  this particular diaper was  definitely put to the test and did pretty good til the end.

It had leaked a little so I decided we would just do the bath, but because your dinner was slightly cut short I let you finish it first.

You "scooped" the chili up and ate it. You finished the tater tots, and I helped with remaining crisp bean burrito.

You finished all of this completely nude  because your dad was too lazy to put on another diaper or  any clothes knowing you'd be getting in the tub soon.

I think it's the longest you've run around the house naked.

Affer your bath and pajamafication, I sat you in front of the mirror to comb your hair while you were still talking to grandma.

I decided to utilize this time to grab some of the floss that was sitting there and flossed my teeth.

I didn't realize you were watching, until you reached for the floss and started to floss my teeth for me and then tried it out yourself.

You really are learning fast.

Love,
Dad
