Chase has been talking about today being his half birthday, when he's seven and a half. So first thing this morning, Chase and Nanaw went to Walmart to buy him a half birthday present. First, Chase picked out two donuts as his birthday cake. Then he selected two special toys: a dentist Play-Doh set and kinetic sand. He was so excited about both of the toys. On the way to and from Walmart, Chase read the day's two books: Elf Pets and A Charlie Brown Christmas. Chase seems to like the idea of reading the books Mama sends in the car with Nanaw; it works out really well. When Chase and Nanaw got home, Nanaw set out the donuts with the candles you can't blow out; Chase had lots of fun with the candles and finally was able to actually blow them out so the stayed out. Then, they set up the dentist Play-Doh and the kinetic sand on the kitchen counter and played with them until 11 a.m., when it was time for Nanaw to take Chase home. Mama and Daddy were taking Chase to the orthodontist for a diagnosis about braces. Mama said the appointment went well. The orthodontist said things looked good but that Chase should come back in December for another check-up. Daddy was off work so in the afternoon, Chase stayed with Daddy and they went show shopping. In the evening. Chase had a baseball game, and Nanaw went to watch.
