Today August and I went down to Dongdaemun to meet up with Meg and Jeff and their art and design students after they went to the Cartier-Bresson photography exhibit I saw a couple weeks back.
But first, August woke up at 4:30. And this so did Carly. He had a bit of a meltdown after I gave him a bath and fell asleep about 8:30. He slept two hours and woke up in a much better state.
We caught the bus and subway downtown and first scouted out a park west of Dongdaemun. We then went back to the DDP and ate our lunch on a comfy chair in the very boring design spiral and then wandered through the design shops before meeting up with Meg and Jeff and their students.
August was a little overwhelmed by the attention and did a lot of staring and holding on to my finder and Meg’s finger.
The students were able to go off for lunch on their own, and we went with Meg and Jeff to the Russian restaurant I went to with my parents.
August had fun there, playing with the string thing hanging on the wall and with his cover, hat, and mittens.
We caught a ride to APIS on the school bus and visited Carly for a few minutes. We then left to fill some time until she was done working and he fell asleep right away. I sat in the sun in a park and listened to podcasts.
When Carly was done with work we walked home. August was still sleeping and we woke him up as we got close to the bridge. This was a 90+ minute nap in addition to the 2 hour nap in the morning. Contrast that with the single 35 minute nap of yesterday.
Not much to say about the evening. He had another meltdown or two similar to this morning, but playing the Hozier album totally calmed him down.

On the bus. He were sitting at the front so he was waving to people as they got on and looking out the front window:
