Today is friday, and I get to spend the day with mommy because daddy has to go to work. I played all day and I was so excited about spending the day with mommy I didn't want to miss any of it, not even to take a nap. Mommy fell asleep on the couch while I was playing in the living room, and I was such a good boy, I didn't get into anything that I wasn't supposed to get into. The best thing that happened today is that mommy took me over to Aunt Regina's house and dropped me off so I got to play with all my cousins. They even taught me to jump on the bed. The worst thing that happened today is that I never saw my daddy, he went to work in the morning, and Uncle Ron's birthday party in the Evening.

BTW - Happy Birthday "Not the Daddy" (aka Uncle Ron)

Today is my last weekday at home with Mommy & Daddy. That's right Daddy is still off because of his vacation between jobs, and mommy is still feeling sick. the morning was spent sleeping. First mommy got up with me and we were awake until daddy woke up, then mommy layed down for a nap, when mommy woke up daddy & I took a nap in the big bed, I woke up first and so mommy took me out into the living room until daddy woke up, thats when mommy went and layed down again. After all the sleeping daddy decided to get started cutting holes in the walls, and drilling holes in the floor. I'm told he's installing new phone jacks so we can plug the computer into the wall in the office instead of running a phone chord from the living room all the way into the office. I'll be, after a full day of working on it, it looks pretty good..

Mommy woke me up again, I'm really not surprised because she was kinda feeling under the weather last night. Daddy must be having a lot of fun, mom is sick to the stomach, & I'm sick to the butt. Yes it's true, I still have it but it's not bad. Daddy has changed my diaper so many times I feel like that's all were doing. At least daddy had a few extra minutes to take some pictures. I think the only person with more time on their hands then daddy is my Aunt Debby who had time to write me a song.

Here is a song for Orion who is having problems with his bum, from Aunt Debby
(sung to the tune of Jingle Bells)

Trembling through the flow, in a diaper that feels like clay
Over red bumps I go, crying all the way
Pampers on my butt sting, keeping me up at night
Oh, Its not fun to feel the sting of a sore sore butt tonight
Hey
Sore Sore Butts
Sore Sore Butts
Sore butts all day long
Oh, Its not fun to feel the sting of a sore sore butt tonight
Hey

Today is Tuesday, that means mommy has school and daddy gets to pick me up from Auntie Karen's. Auntie Karen said that I was awnery in a cute way. I wasn't sure what that meant until she explained it to Daddy. She said I was awnery like my daddy, but cute like my mommy. Now it all makes perfect since. Everyone keeps telling me that mommy is the good one, and that I should listen to her a lot, daddy is the one that I should watch out for, he's tricky. In fact just the other day he was acting like he didn't even see me, and then he grabbed me rolled around on the floor with me, and even picked me up and flipped me around in the air a couple times. Mommy hates it when he does it, but it's fun...

Saturday mornings are usually pretty lazy, however today we had to get an early start. Mommy received a recall notice on a bearing in the steering gear for her '97 Pontiac Sunfire. Daddy made an appointment with his friend, and old boss Mike to have the bearing fixed. So we drove all the way down by daddies work to drop off the car. While Mike was fixing the car, mommy, daddy, & me walked across the street to the Target at the Buckingham Mall. Mom had a lot of fun shopping while daddy and I played around in the toy section. We saw a lot of toys that we wanted to bring home, but mommy is making us wait tell closer to christmas. Something tells me that I might be getting a drum set for Christmas, either that or a lot of empty boxes to play in, either way christmas will be fun.
