My Michigan shower was on Saturday and it was very nice! It was a little more intimate, as there were about 20 people there. I was more comfortable this time because it was my family and friends and I know them all really well. I got a lot more wonderful stuff and about half of it is in our dining room and the other half is still at my parents’ house. We didn’t want to chance bringing it all over the border at once, but as it turns out the customs guy just essentially waved us through. Oh well, you never know who you’re going to get.

Mikayla was at the shower and I’m surprised at how well she behaved. There was another little boy there that she ran around with. He’s nine days younger than her. She called him “the Boy.” Jake came over to me at one point, laughing his ass off. “She just totally bullied that kid. He took her spoon and she shoved him into the wall. It was awesome.” LOL. She thought the shower cake was a birthday cake and she started to sing Happy Birthday. And she watched me open a few presents and took a stuffed hippo right out of my hands and ran off with it. “Woooooooow!”

We should have the baby’s room done this week. Tonight I’m leaving work a little early and we’re going to drive up to Tilbury to do some car shopping. Then the rest of this week we’re going to paint the room and finish the dresser, which only needs a coat or two of polyurethane. The crib is being delivered on Thursday.
