August slept until close to 8, allowing me to get some work done in the morning.
He woke up happy and had a good breakfast. We read a lot of books, and he seemed to focus on books we hadn’t read for awhile: Tickle, Barnyard Dance, and But Not the Hippopotamus.
He started acting tired after 2 hours, but ended up making it to 7 hours and doing quite well along the way.
First up was his Monday class. It was perhaps the best one. The main activity was all about textures and August loved it. She had all sorts of squares with different things glued to them and you could walk the babies over them. August decided he preferred to use his hands, but would also reach out his foot like another hand and feel with that. Very cute and resourceful.
From class we headed straight to the subway and headed 5 stops south to Costco. Restocked our cheese supply and got lunch and got out of there pretty quickly.
Found a nice seating area in the subway station to eat our lunch. Was going well for several minutes but then an overly nice woman came over and wanted to help. First she wanted to wipe his nose using some brown liquid from her water bottle, then she was very concerned when he fell down (it was a gentle fall and he didn’t cry at all), followed by being concerned when food fell on the bench and he tried to eat it (I had wiped down the bench beforehand), and finally putting his mittens on when I was getting ready to go. Ugh.
We made it home just fine and he actually stayed awake a bit longer. He slept for an hour but was awoken by some majorly loud hammering from outside. He tried to get back to sleep, but just couldn’t.
He ate a good second lunch and then we walked around while waiting for Carly to get home.
In the evening, Carly tried to introduce him to mustard, which backfired as he got too much and threw up.
But later he ate a huge dinner involving egg, tofu, broccoli, strawberry, prune, and cauliflower.
We had a nice family game of playing with the orange ball. It was really the first time we had tried to pass/roll it to each other. He loved chasing the ball around and was getting better at sending it the right direction.
Last night he slept pretty well, but a couple times when he sort of woke up he came straight for me and climbed on my face. Quite a way to be woken up. Twice. Carly had to save me both times.
