Day Off
Alison's mom had knee surgery on Monday, so Tom and her took off work. Tom took his mom to the hospital, and Alison stayed with Nina. See, Alison's mom is our babysitter for Nina while Alison is still working. And Alison's last day of work is next Friday. Woot.

Well, Alison was off to take care of Nina and also see if her mom needed any thing on Tuesday also, so I took off work too. And had a really good day.

In the morning, Alison, Nina, and I went to the duck pond downtown. Nina had a lot of fun, but the last few days she's been acting a little oofy, and I'm not so sure it's not sinuses. She then took a three hour nap.

Alison Wal-Marted during the nap while I played Gladius on the Playstation. I'm playing through again with the alledgedly more difficult Roman campaign. But I know so much more about the game, I'm just uberpowerful.

After the three hours, Nina started making waking up sounds, and since Alison and I were ready for her to be awake, we went on in and said hi. Well, Nina was still super sleepy and would probably have slept longer, but too late now, eh?

We went to a playground in the afternoon, but Nina was just so tired that we only played for a little while, then got Alison's mom a shake at Sonic and took it to her.

The rest of the day went well too. A highlight was Alison and I playing follow the leader with Nina, which amounts to an intense abdominal workout. Nina loved us clapping when she clapped and lying down when she lied down. When Nina and I were still playing some simple toddler game, Alison came in with "blankie" and Nina gladly went off to bed.

It was how I really wish every Saturday could be. But we tend to have errands pile up on us and end up running around on Saturdays.
