Mae here

It's a holiday weekend, according to the tv and everyone else, which really hasn't changed much, except that Mom will be home with us on Monday. And I guess it gave both Mom and Dad a whole bunch of energy, because we did so much stuff today!

Mom woke up a little disappointed because it was raining, so we didn't get to the farmer's market until later in the morning, but that was ok, because it meant we gave her more time to sleep, which I already know she appreciates, even though she's always smiling, no matter what time we wake her up. I still woke up on time, but after my morning bottle she snuggled me close on the couch, which always makes me warm and sleepy and we slept together for awhile longer.

At the square there was so much to look at. There were so many babies, and grown up people and everyone kept looking at us and smiling. Mom dropped some sugar on me when she was eating her donut, and she and Daddy kept fussing over Eve, who didn't want to be in the stroller very much. After awhile though, it got to be a bit too exciting, so I remember Eve had mentioned about just closing my eyes to escape for a little bit, but I must've fallen asleep because when I woke up were in a brand new place with lots of loud music.

Mom smiled at me and told me I could sleep more if I wanted to, but that she understood if I didn't. Instead, we all went and sat down at a table with two very nice old ladies who thought I was beautiful and very smart, so I gave them both a big smile.

Finally we went home and played some more before Mom and Dad started acting funny and making all sorts of big plans. Then, Mom changed our clothes, something she never does in the afternoon unless we've spit up, which doesn't happen very often. The clothes were different, too, like a onesie, but without any arms and tighter, too, even on me, and I never fill anything out (says Mom, because I'm a string bean).

But once we got outside it made sense. Mom and Dad had set up a little bathtub outside for us to play in. I admit I did not like baths when I was little. What's to like? Mom had to take off all my layers, inckuding my diaper, and our house is just not very warm in the winter, and then plop me in the kitchen sink, under the bright light and expect me to enjoy it? But, now that I'm older I've started to notice things about baths, like the being naked part is actually fun when it isn't so cold. And there are these silly little white things called bubbles that don't taste very good, but are very shiny, and the water is nice and warm. And splashing.

Splashing is so much fun! I pu my hand in the water and it just feels wet, but if I move my hand up and down quickly it makes a wonderful sound and make the water go all over. I like a lot, but I'm still not big enough to sit up on my own, so Mom had to help me.

It's just been such a fun day; so many new things. I wonder what we'll do tomorrow. Mom said something about a garden. I don't know what that is, I think it's like a play pen for plants. It's getting late, so good night.
