Chase and Nanaw stayed home on Monday and did lots of different fun things. First thing, they watched the beautiful marshmallow sky. There were puffy white clouds covering the sky -- it was awesome. Nanaw took a picture and texted it to Mama and Uncle Mike. When they got to Nanaw's house, she got out the library summer reading program sign and put it in the front yard. Then she took Chase's picture in front of the sign. Chase had Tee Tee and Jack Skellington with him so they were in the picture also. Chase and Nanaw played in Chase's room for awhile and then they played downstairs. After lunch, they went back outside to play. Chase drank his chocolate milk outside and then he and Nanaw played with a can of blue Silly String. Chase had a great time with the Silly String, and he was very good about helping Nanaw pick the Silly String off the grass. Next, Chase put on his swimming trunks and Nanaw filled up his little wading pool. Then he played water baseball with Nanaw. That means he bats in the wading pool. Nanaw pitches to him while he's standing in the pool. It's very funny to watch. Nanaw also squirted him with the hose, which made him laugh a lot. After all the water play, they went to Chase's room for story time. Nanaw decided to start trying to teach Chase to read. Mama had sent along two Spot books, which work really well for early readers. Chase pretended that Tee Tee was doing the reading -- Chase would whisper the words in Tee Tee's ears and then Tee Tee would read the words. It was very cute. Mama sent Nanaw a picture of Chase after he fell asleep in the Madagascar chair.
