I woke up to the sounds of Blake. I overslept again and failed to get up early enough for Ben. I didn't panic. I got Ben's sippy cup of milk heated up and ready for him to drink.
I gave my wife an extra couple of hours to sleep. That made her feel better after Blake kept her up all night. Bless her heart. She's a great mom and is the unsung hero at our house.
I had a chance to feed Ben a granola bar and golden grahams for breakfast. He ate most of them and he did the cutest thing by feeding me some goodies.
I played cars with Ben and played with Blake's new alphabet toy. I had fun spelling Ben's name with three little blocks.
Speaking of threes, I got to show Ben three special steps from "Special Agent Oso." I think Ben learned how to buckle himself up in a car seat. We'll on that later on. Later, we watched "Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood" and saw 'The Baby is Here.' I wish I could have shown him that before Blake was born. At least I read it to him a few times.
I was running out of time to play with Ben outside. I wanted to take him out to our front yard area and let him ride his new 'Planes' toy. I tried to get him to ride in it in the house, but no dice. Ben did the same thing good over and over: Pull my finger to take me places.
Before lunch, I played 'tackle daddy' with him. He tackled me, gave me hugs, and he won. He won some lunch with mommy and daddy. We tried to feed him tacos, potatoes, peas, and mixed vegetables. I guess he ate enough lunch to get some ice cream. Ben can say Ice Cream. I ate some too.
After I said goodbye to Ben, I departed for work and got some new newspapers for the start of 2016.
It was a slow day here at work since it is New Year's Day and we had only two newscasts. It felt like a weekend day to me. I got to do higher quality editing while trying to get stuff done as fast as possible before showtime.
I even got to write a tease for a story in the third and final block of the show.
I'm a sucker for the animal abuse commercials. They make me sad. I can't believe there are people out there who intentionally hurt cats and dogs.
When I get home tonight, I will give Gandalf some lovin' time and pay attention to him.
