*LiveJournal entries were written to Jay to keep him in the loop when he was working out west for 8 weeks.



Got home from the airport around 7:30. Elliot played for a bit and had a very messy diaper just before breakfast. He ate his usual, pears and cheerios, then he watched Play With Me, Sesame for about 20 minutes while I started the pot roast for supper in the slow cooker (there was a nice surprise in there for me, too!(chocolate, I think)) and then went down for a 3 hour nap!

I also had a nap while he slept - I dozed for maybe 45 minutes. There was another surprise under the pillow. So sweet, made me cry....

When Elliot got up, we played for a bit then had some lunch. (spaghetti & sauce, avocado, yogurt and water). Then we geared up and went to get some groceries. The walk there was nice - we stopped to look at kitties and leaves. We couldn't walk our normal way through the Superstore parking lot because the storm over the weekend caused damage to one of the apartment buildings there and a crew was cleaning it up.

Elliot wanted to help at the grocery store, so he held my hand and walked next to the stroller. He also carried the cookies! We went through the checkout and then stopped to buy a poppy from the little old lady veteran. She gave Elliot a sticker! I put it on the back of his hand and off we went. We stopped at Canadian Tire to buy a carbon monoxide alarm that plugs into the wall, but when we got into the long line at cash, we waited and waited and then the cashier said "i can't take anyone else. sorry." The people behind us were very upset. All the other lines were just as long, so we put down our stuff and left the store. I had to take Elliot's sticker off his hand as he was eating it. Some of the adhesive stayed on his hand, but he didn't seem to mind.

When we got home, Elliot wanted to play in the leaves for a little while. We came in and played with Lego and blocks and then Elliot pretended to talk to two people on the phone at the same time. Quite adorable!!!
