Chase and Nanaw had a quiet day, mostly staying at home except for a trip to the Telegraph Road Library. In the morning, after breakfast, Chase and Nanaw played in his room. Chase played with his mega blocks, and he’s getting quite good with them. He adds them to the farm quickly and easily, something he’s learned to do quite recently. However, he does get frustrated sometimes when he can’t take the blocks apart, and then it’s Nanaw’s job to remove the blocks -- very funny. Mama sent Chase’s new Scout reader along today, along with two of the new Scout books that go with it. In the afternoon, after Chase’s nap, Chase and Nanaw went to the library. Nanaw took Chase over to the children’s board book kiosk and selected "Mama is the Best Circus" to check out for him. Then Chase got all excited and kept pointing to the kiosk and saying something. Nanaw finally figured out that he was pointing to a Thomas the Train book that he wanted. So they checked that one out also. In the evening, Nanaw went to Chase’s house for an experimental dinner: Grandma Pat’s chop suey recipe cooked by Daddy. It was delicious – Nanaw ate two helpings and took some home for Tuesday’s lunch – yum. After dinner, Mama got out crayons and paper for Chase, and she and Chase and Nanaw had fun coloring at the kitchen table.
