Leave it to this guy ...

So a couple Saturdays ago (right before Josie's recent bout of sickness) we headed down to VA for another day trip. Jen had a birthday thing to attend so Josie and I were going to have to fend for ourselves for a few hours. She dropped us off at Dan's, dished out some hugs and kisses, and off she went. Josie had slept almost the whole way down so she was well rested and ready to tear into everything.

We started the morning hanging around the house playing and goofing around. Josie got into to the usual selection of electronic devices which were strewn about the living room. Things got interesting as she made her way over to the stereo system and found the plethora of buttons and knobs right at her tiny little finger tips. She LOVES buttons and the only thing better than buttons is buttons that makes stuff light up. That thing had more buttons and lights than she knew what to do with. She had so much fun with it that she began pulling off some of the controls off the front fascia. For some reason though she quickly lost interest shortly after. Perhaps she thought that she broke it and decided to bail so that she wouldn't get in trouble. I mean ... that's what I would have done.

Overall, I just sat back and left Dan in charge. Aside from changing a few diapers, he ran the whole show. I was more than impressed with how he handled everything. He was attentive to Josie (and me) and was able to keep her entertained and on her regular schedule. He stayed on top of her faucet of a nose, and kept everything in check. Prior to lunch we had a quick snack and headed over to the park to play for a little. We didn't get to stay long due to the rain so we ended up having an early lunch.

While Dan was cooking up his famous cheesy pasta for lunch, Josie decided to rock out with Stef (Dan's brother) on Guitar Hero. It was freaking adorable, and Stef thought so too ... until she beat him. Once lunch was ready, we all sat around and stuffed our faces. We had to leave shortly afterwards to go see my family. I'm so happy that Josie and her Uncle Dan got to spend some quality time together. He seems to be a natural with this kid thing and it's great to see that they already have such a strong bond between them.

Yup ... this guy was in charge ... the guy taking a picture with the lens cap on.
