It has been raining for two straight days, so a bit of creativity is required to keep us from going stir-crazy. But as it turns out, Cody did go stir-crazy -- for the hand mixer. We baked blueberry muffins tonight, and Cody made a new friend: Little Mixer. (Not to be confused with Big Mixer -- of the Kitchen Aid variety -- who lives in a cabinet above the fridge, and who Cody believes is always "very tired!" because he is always "sleeping in cabinet!") It's probably not a good idea for me and Robin to be up on a chair hauling Big Mixer down these days, so Little Mixer stepped in like a champ. And from 4:00 - 5:00 Cody played with him, not even noticing that he ate chicken, veggies, blueberries, and two muffins in the meantime. That's what I call a good dinner. When at last it was time for Little Mixer to go to bed ("Tired? Bedtime?") Cody made sure to kiss and hug him. Several times.
Earlier, we went on an "ADVENTURE!" to the "LIBERRY!" to see another friend -- Squirt, the Library Turtle. He lives in a tank on the reference desk, and strangely enough, he too is often sleeping. (Or possibly just hiding out in his shell, trying to escape from the relentless rapping of little knuckles.) Cody loves him. He loves the library too -- he runs to the automatic doors, and bellows: "DOORS! OPEN!" And they do, because in Cody's world, everyone and everything respond to his commands -- preferably in the affirmative. He then shouts, "MORNING LIBERRY!" as he runs inside, stops in his tracks, swivels his head in Squirt's direction, and hollers, "HI SQUIRT! WAKE UP!"
All in all, not too bad, but we hope tomorrow is sunny!
