Chase and Nanaw had a quiet day at home today, playing in his room and then going to pretend "school" or "cool" as Chase calls it. While he was playing in his room, he found a "binky" that Drew from Nanaw’s work gave to him. Chase put it in his mouth and walked around the room with it – very funny, considering that he never used a binky when he was a baby. Last night, Chase got a big yellow Tonka truck from Aunt Becca and Uncle Stan, and he played with it all day – even wanting it on the tray of his high chair. Friday is Chase’s second birthday, and Mama is taking the day off work. First, Mama, Chase and Nanaw will have a birthday breakfast at Dunkin’ Donuts, just like last year’s birthday. Then they’ll go to Laptime at the Clayton Library. Hopefully, Nanaw’s new friend Susan the fiction writer, and her daughter Emily will be there so they can meet Mama. After Laptime, Mama, Chase and Nanaw are going to bake Christmas cookies at Chase’s house. Mama, Daddy, Chase and Nanaw will have dinner with Chase’s BFF Jackson and his Mama and Daddy. Then they’ll go to see the lights at the Shrine in Belleville. Chase and Jackson are going to love the lights.
