Bonjour!

Danny was up several times in the night. I think his crying woke Gilbert up. It was quite a night.

Joe took me to the Port Clinic this morning so that I could have my bandage changed. I was supposed to be there at 7:00. The lady who does that got there around 7:30. We stopped at the bakery on the way home to get something for breakfast.

Joe taught his class at 8:30.

Gilbert gets so excited when the baby is awake. He comes to check him out each time that I am holding him. He is gentle with the baby most of the time.

Nana has been doing laundry all day. I had quite a bit of laundry from the hospital since I had to take my own bedding, towels, gowns, etc.

Gilbert went down for an early nap today. When he woke up, Joe went into town with Nana and Gilbert. They went grocery shopping. Danny and I took a nap while they were gone.

This evening, Gilbert said, “Bath, bath” and tried to take his clothes off. Joe gave him a bath.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, and Danny

Danny 366 – Gilbert found frogs outside today. He must have killed this one in the process of bringing him inside. We discovered him on our bedroom floor today. Gilbert’s water bucket outside had several live frogs in it. He had been busy.

Danny 368 – This was a rare moment when Danny was actually awake during the day. He has his nights and days mixed up. He sleeps all day and is awake a lot during the night.

Danny 370 – Gilbert loves phones.
