The Life of Riley and Those Around Him

Riley actually slept in today, didn't get up until 0740, pretty late for him now. He then ate a really big breakfast, a whole waffle and a banana. He had that scarfed down in no time. Got all cleaned up and dressed and we were on our way to Wal-Mart.

Riley has gotten very funny when we are at stores. He smiles and laughs at people, then he plays shy and hides his face, then he will sneak a peek to see if they are still looking at him and if they are (they always are) he giggles and smiles more at them. Everyone gets a big kick out of it.

We stopped by Sonic and then it was home for us. Because he got up a little later Riley went down for his nap later, which must have been a good thing because this was the longest nap he took all week.

Lunch and all the afternoon stuff. His new favorite book is Dr Suess's "The Foot Book" he just thinks it is so funny. Must have read it about 50 times in the last two days, thank goodness it is short.

We had an exploding juice cup this afternoon too. Sometimes the lid just doesn't sit right or he drops it just right and juice goes everywhere. At least it was in the kitchen and not on the carpet. But Riley decided he needed to swim all around in it and try to clean it up with his belly. That required a change of clothes and then a wipe down of the floor.

We played for the rest of the afternoon. Figured out how to always have the flash work so I don't get back lit shots, pretty easy. I should read the camera manual more often. You can learn a lot by doing that.

Dan has another late night going. It has been one squeaky wheel of a customer and he has been at her house all afternoon installing a fan!
