Before Nanaw’s afternoon doctor’s appointment, Chase and Nanaw had a day at home playing in Chase’s room and having school downstairs. Chase had fun piling up toys and stuffed animals behind the rocking chair in his room. During Nanaw’s doctor’s appointment, Chase played with Nanaw’s iPod, amazing the people in the office with his ability to manipulate the device. Before Mama came to pick up Chase and Nanaw for their shopping adventure, Chase was coloring in his high chair, and he managed to pretty much destroy his box of crayons. On the shopping adventure, Mama, Chase and Nanaw went to Walmart for Jackson’s and Daddy’s birthday presents. Nanaw bought Chase a little Thomas the Train and an Etch a Sketch – but Mama said Nanaw had to wait to give the Etch a Sketch to Chase until it was for a special occasion – we’ll see how that goes! The shopping adventure also included Babys R Us and Sports Authority, and ended with a feast from McDonald’s that they ate at Nanaw’s house.

Chase seemed very excited about the breakfast treat Mama sent with him this morning: a chocolate-iced donut. After breakfast, Chase and Nanaw went for an early morning walk in Nanaw’s neighborhood. Then Chase played in his room for awhile, bringing out various toys and putting them in his wagon. After his nap and lunch, Chase and Nanaw went downstairs for school and playing. Chase spent a long while playing with his large train – he really seems to like it. When Nanaw took Chase home, the new fridge was there, and Chase said "Whoa" when he first saw it. Nanaw took of picture of him in front of the fridge.

Chase and Nanaw had an eclectic and very active day. They went for a long early morning walk, and Chase got to say hello to his favorite bush. Next, they sat at the kitchen counter and colored. After finishing coloring, Chase and Nanaw went downstairs for school. Chase watched Monster University, and then played with his humongous train set. Chase has a couple of new activities: one is pulling the afghans and pillows off Nanaw’s sofas and acting very proud of himself for doing it. Another new activity is loading up his little wagon with toys and pulling it around the house – very cute.

Mama and Chase came over to Nanaw’s house today to do laundry while Nanaw was at church and out shopping. They had lunch there, and Chase took a nap. Chase woke up a little after Nanaw got home, and Nanaw had a good time playing with him. Nanaw went to Chase’s house for a good pulled pork dinner that Mama made. For dessert, there was "Sock It to Me" cake, a sort of cinnamon bundt cake Mama bought at Schnuck’s. Chase ran around playing before and after dinner. He played with the Thomas the Train books – Thomas seems to be his latest interest.

Mama bought a new Mr. Coffee and gave the box to Chase to play with – he certainly seemed to enjoy it. In the evening, Mama went to a friend’s birthday party, and Chase went to church with Daddy. After leaving church a bit early because Chase was talking so enthusiastically, Daddy and Chase went to Dairy Queen for dinner. Later, Nanaw came over to visit and to play with Chase and take pictures. They played with bubbles, stomped on dandelions and took a walk along the field behind Chase’s house.

Today Chase and Nanaw stayed home to play because Safelite had to come put a new windshield in Nanaw’s bee-bye. Driving to the cataract surgery on Tuesday with Uncle Mike, a rock hit Nanaw’s windshield and made a big chip. Chase played a lot again in the big bathtub in Pawpaw’s bathroom. That seems to be one of his favorite places to play. He takes various toys in there with him. In the evening, Chase had quite the adventure – he went shopping and out to dinner with Mama and Daddy. First, they went to Home Depot where Chase got to run around the store and sit on a riding mower. Then they went to dinner at Hooters where Chase was his usual charming self.

Chase’s adventure today was going to Tot Time at the Columbia Library with Miss Candy. There was a meeting downstairs in the usual Tot Time place so the program was held upstairs in the children’s reading room of the library. Chase did a little running around, but because the space was so confined, he couldn’t go far. The craft for the day was making an umbrella. Chase drew all over his and seemed to have fun using the glue stick. The next and final Tot Time isn’t until May 22. Nanaw is going to have to find more programs for Chase to go to because he’s down to just one – Telegraph Road Laptime. After Tot Time, Chase and Nanaw went to the playground in the park next to the library. Several other children were there, and they had brought balls along to play with, and they shared them with Chase.

Chase and Nanaw mostly stayed home to play today. Their only outside adventure was going to one of the Mercy Hospital’s doctor buildings for Nanaw’s post-op doctor visit. Chase was quite well-behaved in his stroller, playing with Nanaw’s iPod. He was quite the hit with all the medical personnel, getting lots of smiles and hellos. After work, Mama came over to Nanaw’s house to do laundry while Daddy played golf. Nanaw was very happy to have extended time with Chase. Mama and Chase had pizza for dinner, and Chase ate lots.
