Tonight's picture was taken in January of 2003. Mattie was 9 months old and fully on! A friend of mine sent me this activity saucer when Mattie was 3 months old. At first I thought.... this thing was huge and would take up my entire living room (therefore I was hesitant to take it out of its box). However, I figured I would try it because Mattie was such an active live wire. At 3 months, Mattie was scared of this thing. But by month 4, he took to it like a duck to water. He loved all the noises it made, and he especially liked that he could stand up and twirl around in a full circle (as the seat rotated!). I used to keep magazines on our coffee table, but as you can see Mattie liked dumping them all over the place.
Quote of the day: It is an absolute human certainty that no one can know his own beauty or perceive a sense of his own worth until it has been reflected back to him in the mirror of another loving, caring human being. ~ John Joseph Powell
It was a usual day of craziness on the farm. My dad's fitness trainer came over today! Teddy is a God sent. I love his energy and how he pleasantly pushes my dad. This is exactly what my dad needs, and I know this is one thing I can't do effectively. Yet it is vital for my dad's health and to keep him living safely in our home.
While Teddy was here, I was busy changing my parents bed linens and doing laundry. After doing three loads of laundry, I was just about finished. But that was only the start of my day. I haven't mentioned it but it has been quite the week, with my dad pooping in the shower multiple days, and the bathroom floors being covered in urine. I am constantly cleaning, and cleaning, and cleaning some more. Fortunately my dad showers daily, because I think this is the major reason why I am able to keep his skin intact and in good condition.
