Good Friday

Today was quite Good.

Woke up pretty early w/ Jonah but didn't mind it. I've been gone so much and I couldn't wait to chill out on the couch with him before everybody else got up. Krist and her mom went for pedicures while Finley napped and Jonah played Gamecube.

I got all our clothes ready for the big Easter shindig at Kristen's grandparents. My parents visited, Krist got home, and we eventualy made it to MawMaw's House.

We were there for a few hours, then came home. Jonah wanted to play outside, so he and I grabbed our lightsabers and went to battle. His next idea was to "kick the ball." This isn't normal kicking - this is our new game where Jonah swings on his swingset and I try to lob a ball in rhythm to his movement so that he can send the ball sailing across the yard.

Today, though, the game somehow evolved into "peg," which then turned into a giant wrestling match in the back yard. Jonah jumped up and said, "Let's play wrestle grass." I said okay, and waited for instructions.

Wrestle-Grass, as it were, is actually just a wrestling match on grass. It was so much fun. Eventually, Wrestle-Grass turned into Daddy Tower where I would sit on the ground and Jonah would run straight into me and try to knock me down.

My favorite part of Daddy Tower occured when Jonah slid off of me onto the ground and hurt his arm. I turned around to see him holding up his right arm and he asked in a very soft voice.

"Did I crack my bone?"

That kid. Good Friday indeed.
