August and I Skyped with my friend Peter in the morning. August was really into waving to him and playing the up/down game. He didn’t really wave at strangers during the day, but in the evening after Carly got home he was waving to both of us a lot.
He took a morning nap (55 min) and woke up at 11:30. We took the train down to Children’s Grand Park and first walked to a playground where he went on the slide and we went on the swing together. They are small swings, but August could handle swinging at full force and was still excited. I think he will really be into the swings.
Had planned on looking at some animals first, but he clearly wanted to play so we went straight to the children’s museum.
Ate lunch (August ate half a banana and some of the rice snacks from yesterday), then went to the toddler section. Busy, but not overwhelmingly.
Went next door to the book area when he needed a break, then back to the toddler area until we left.
Headed home when he was getting tired. Walked around our park and on top of the art museum as he suddenly didn’t seem sleepy. Came home and even though he was twice crying and rubbing his eyes he never took a nap.
We did, however, invent a game in which he drops Marshy off the side of the bed and Marshy tackles him.
Had a bath and ate dinner after Carly came home. And did a lot of waving. Made it until 7pm. So, made it through a full 12 hour day with less than an hour of napping.
Woke up crying, but happy when he got his rope:
Decided to go without clothes for awhile:
He got excited once he saw the owl mural on the way out of the subway station:
Having fun at the children’s museum:
He was getting tired, as evidenced by the fact that he spent several minutes looking out a window at the view outside:
Back home. He refused to nap, but invented the Marshy game instead:
He has figured out he can stand up at the windows and look out. He can just barely see any of the street, however, and asks to be picked up:
One more cute bath photo. In his robe and grabbing his foot:
