Today it hit about 70 again. We stayed at home until he took a nap and woke up at 12:15. We then headed to APIS by walking up the stream, across the river, past the dump, and up and over the hill and down to APIS.
Along the way we saw a crane fishing on the river, watched a backhoe at work by the park (he made me stop twice when I started to leave so he could watch longer), watched a big drill as we went up a hill, and then played at a playground before going to APIS.
We went to APIS and saw Carly and helped Atsuko fill out the questionnaire for his 12-month well-being checkup. We then walked across the street to two playgrounds (but NOT either of the two playgrounds we played at last time we were at APIS) and played.
A little before 5 we met Carly and went to Doniburger and picked up dinner we then walked into Lotte Apartments for a meet-up of families at yet another playground. The play equipment at this playground was actually roped off for some reason, but August could still sit at the bottom of the slide.
He was having a bit of a rough evening, having been awake for over 6 hours. He took awhile to recover from falling off the foot of the slide and then when he was admiring the big white dog (which he called baabaa) it barked once and that was enough. We left and walked awhile and he fell asleep it was really early (a bit after 6), so we will see what the morning brings.
His accomplishment today was stacking four food containers. He has never really stacked anything more than two high. His success even stunned him, as he kind of stood there giggling to himself. Once he knocked it down and tried again he couldn’t really even get to two, so it was a bit of a fluke.
He also was very helpful doing his laundry. He took a full basket and methodically put each item into the washing machine. Of course, when he was done he started doing the reverse so I had to stop him.
