loud May 12, 2008

So right this minute Scott is giving Serena a bath.  He learned that if you wash her hair right after you put her in she is much happier.  She is standing up stomping her feet.  Its super loud.  I’m guessing I now understand what its like to have a kit in the apartment above you.  She can make this crazy loud noise.  The chinchillas are getting in the spirit too banging around their cage.  Patch likes to dig all the food out of the dish just for fun.

She had a pretty good first full day at the house.  She has been here before of course but today was the first day she woke up and took a nap here.  She took a good nap, about two hours.  We went to Golden Corral for dinner.  It wasn’t bad, its usually a safe bet because you can spend 20 minutes there and everyone gets to eat without having Serena get tired of it.  The food is usually pretty good too.  After that we went over to the mall, which turned out to not be a good idea.  She started having one of those toddler times when she doesn’t want anything she wants.  Up, down, stroller, out, on the floor, up, down, running, laughing, crying, on the floor, up… it was a bit crazy.  She has a backpack buddy and we have had really good luck with it before, but today wasn’t one of those days either.  She just doesn’t want to be out sometimes.  It seems like she is worse if its both Scott and I. 

Oh well I have about five minutes before House comes on.  We do have this WONDERFUL thing called a DVR and wow that is so worth the extra money a month.  To be able to pause something, get up and do something and come back to it is so great.  Its also nice when you set it to record something because I’m one of those people that remembers I want to watch something that comes on at 8 at 8:30.  Anyway I can hear Serena at the top of the stairs, which means she will be down here ready for trouble in a minute.

Here is a picture of her in her new chair.  She can more or less get in and out of it herself.
