August woke up a little before 7 – less than 8 hours of sleep.
Carly said she now has a fever and thinks she has what August has, but said her stomach and headache were better. But awhile later she had to go take a nap.
I got his tub out, filled it with a couple inches of water and let him play with it. Eventually I started getting his hair wet and he let me wash his hair. In fact, he was kind of zoning out and enjoying it. He let me take off his shirt and only started to whine a bit when I started washing his back. That was also when Carly came out.
A couple hours later she went and took a second nap.
During this nap August surprised me by walking 15 steps. Later in the evening he was doing more standing and walking a few steps at a time. Not far away now…
August fell asleep while I had him and he and Carly traded places, with her waking up. I then went to the pink building to pick up some pho and a couple groceries.
When I got back he was still asleep but had woken up for ten minutes.
He took a long nap and woke up a little after two. August and I then went for a walk and visited two parks he hadn’t yet played at: one behind Carly’s hospital and one east of that that looks like a pirate ship.
At the second one he really got into using his hands to play with the sand for the first time. He just sat there dropping handful after handful of sand. We also went on the swing.
We then came home and August played with Carly a lot. He seemed to not have much of a temperature today, but was feeling a bit warmer in the evening. Also, despite waking up a little after 2 he then stayed awake until about 10. Carly went to bed around 8 so it was a repeat of last night, although thankfully not so late.
