Dexter Gets Some Curtains, Freezes to Death, and then Breaks it Down

Today Aunt Eleanor tagged along while Dexter and I picked up his curtains.  This boy will soon finally have his OWN room!  There, he'll sleep in a bed that he actually fits in (as opposed to the Pack and Play that we have him in now where his feet and head touch simultaneously...).  With curtains, he'll be able to sleep in the dark.  Joel and I have been shopping around for curtains for a while.  I HATED shopping for curtains before, and now I HATE it even more.  But we did decide on a nice pair of light blocking, chocolate brown, faux suede curtains that should look really nice in Dexter's room.  When the room is finished, I will definitely post pictures.

But anyway, after picking up the curtains and rods it was getting to be lunch time and I was too lazy and hungry to wait 'til we got home and make something.  So, we all went to Applebees where Dexter was the cutest and best baby ever and two old ladies told us that he was cold and needed to be covered with a blanket.  Uhh...  Thanks old ladies.   I'll really take your advice seeing as I ALWAYS follow the advice of strangers and you have observed my son for a whopping 10 seconds as you passed us by in the aisle.  Your years of experience will not be lost on me...

So, after I built Dexter a fire, put a winter coat on him and covered him in blankets (quickly, before he froze to death) Eleanor set Dexter on the table and he giggled and laughed with us until the food came.  







He also danced for us a little bit! (Or rather, Eleanor made him dance...) However, the video is NOT working. I'll try to upload it when I can. Meanwhile, enjoy these photos!
