The Big Race

A highly unusual day in the life of our house! We skipped church. Daddy did lots of Work work. This shot was taken around 1100a and none of us were showered or dressed. We had opted to keep a low profile and stay home to watch the Indy 500 on TV. We'd normally be at the race, but we opted out this year. It was kind of bittersweet as we watched the pre-race activities. JHP knows about race cars and as he watched, he called this race "The Big Race". Soon after we ate lunch in front of the TV, something we rarely do anymore, John had decided he'd seen enough and proceeded to keep interrupting us every five minutes with something he wanted us to do with him. I think Daddy and I were both thankful it was very near nap time.

We did get John dressed at some point today. We dressed him in the little shirt we got him last year, which is now a very tight squeeze over his head. It does cover all the belly and since we weren't leaving the house, it worked just fine. When Daddy donned his IMS hat to go outside and cook some dinner, John decided he needed his hat on too. Like a lot of things, this hat is getting a bit too small for John. So when John takes it off and puts it back on, it always seems to sit up high on his head. When this happens, Daddy calls him "Fred" because it reminds him of his Grandpa Algren. JNP admits Fred might not have really worn his hats this way, but that's what he think of nonetheless.
