Storknesting Day 13

Emerson slept in his own bed all night again. It was fantastic! He got up around 6.30 and cuddled in bed with me until around 8. Stephen was already awake by then. Apparently his sleep wasn't as fantastic. After reading some books we ate some breakfast. Emerson was anxious to take a bath so he could splash at everyone who was in the room with him. After he was done and got dressed we sang him happy birthday and gave him some birthday tickles. Then we played some gator golf. His form is getting pretty good and as long as he is standing in the right place he can hit some pretty good shots. (The pictures of him playing are of him making it into the gator's mouth.) We're thinking we might have the next Tiger Woods.

Later on in the morning we headed to Mildenhall to return yet another BBQ. When we got this one home every piece that Stephen pulled out of the box was dented or scratched or damaged. We decided to give up on getting a new BBQ and instead got a couple extra pieces for our travel grill as well as some camping things. We also bought some bubbles for Emerson. When we got back to the room Stephen and Emerson watched the Jazz game while I tried to do a little scrapbooking. Emerson wasn't too happy that I wasn't hanging out with them so the scrapbooking didn't work out so well. After the basketball game we had a party with the bubbles we had bought. Emerson absolutely loved it. He chased them, popped them, caught them and even blew a couple of his own.

For dinner we went to the pizza place on base. After pizza we played with some more bubbles before putting Emerson to sleep. I was then able to do some scrapbooking and Stephen tried to plan out some fun things to do when his brother Joseph comes for the summer. It is now almost 11 and we haven't had any signs that the baby is coming so it looks like Emerson's special day will not have to be shared with his little brother.
