Loren’s First Father’s Day
On the weekends, Loren usually gets up with Jenson between 8-9 a.m. so I can get a little extra sleep. For Father’s Day, Jenson gave him quite a gift…we all woke up at 10:15. I brought him in the bed when he woke around 7 and he nursed and went back to sleep. I vaguely remember nursing him once or twice more when he woke, and he’d lay and play for a couple of minutes and then he’d snuggle up against me and go back to sleep. So when he woke again and I looked at the clock, I was surprised to see that it was after 10. We were at a friend’s house until 930 the night before, so he went to bed late, but I was still surprised. We facetimed in bed with his Nana and Meemaw for a bit before getting up.
I gave Lo his Father’s Day gifts…just some little things…an OSU flag for our garden flag stand (he got Crew and Reds ones for his birthday), a photo mug, and an 8×10 picture collage of pics with him and Jenson that came free with the purchase of a photo card. He didn’t actually get the card until yesterday because CVS screwed things up several times (and ended up giving me the card for free too).
We made last minute plans with our friends to go the Clippers game that night and decided to grill out before the game. I made pancakes for brunch and Jenson played in his exersaucer in the kitchen and chewed on a homemade teething biscuit while we cleaned up and got some stuff ready for dinner with our friends.
They came over and the boys played while we got dinner ready. We ate on a blanket in the backyard since it was such a nice day outside. Boof was beside herself….she couldn’t believe that there was food down on her level like that! She didn’t try to snatch anything, but she was right there waiting. I let Jenson suck on some corn on the cob and some meat from my kabob – he LOVED it and got mad when I took it away (I didn’t want him to get really messy and it was time for him to nurse again anyway). 
The game was sold out, but you can always stand at the stadium, so we got a good railing spot and just hung out there for most of the game. It was a fantastic night and a great way to spend Father’s Day and the Clippers won by like 18 runs or something silly like that.
Boof was all out of sorts when we got home, running around and doing her bark/scream/sneeze routine that she does when she’s distraught. She was doing that as soon as I opened the door and I automatically thought someone had broken in or something since she was so upset. I hurried to turn on the kitchen light and nothing looked amiss. Lo looked all through the house just to make sure nothing had happened, and we never figured it out. She finally calmed and then soothed herself by murdering her hedgehog. I guess she was sad she was left out of Father’s Day.
She’s been a little “off” recently – just extra needy and harassing the neighbors for PB bones, and follows me around all night. Lo took her to daycare today, hoping that would make her happy. If that doesn’t work, I’m sure lots of cheese at my parent’s house this weekend will fix her right up.
