He took an early nap but slept until 10:43, meaning we were quite late for his class. He missed bubbles, but enjoyed what he made it to. Class today was about monkeys and there were two toys (a felt monkey with expanding plastic arms and legs and a monkey percussion instrument) that he was upset he had to give back so quickly.
From Home Plus we took the subway to Costco. Took our time looking around. Bought him a bug themed set of clothes (two shirts and a pair of pants). Then went down and got our cheese supply. I emailed Carly to ask if there was anything else she wanted. While we waited we walked around and got free samples – August got to try orange juice for the first time and then we both tried a yoghurt with granola already mixed in. He really liked both.
We then paid and went and got food. We took our food outside to the platform in front of Costco that had a family statue on it. We took our time eating and he crawled around a lot and checked out that statue. His hands and knees of his pants were nice and dirty. He also walked around a bit.
We then went home. Thought he would fall asleep for a second nap but he never did. Eventually made it to close to 8.
After Carly got home we all went to Home Plus. August loves free samples now and we got more here: he tried pineapple and watermelon for the first time, liking both, then had orange and a big piece of red pepper.
Also at Home Plus, August and I ran into the same autistic guy from yesterday. He recognized is and immediately brought up Howard Zinn. Today he also brought up John Maynard Keynes and David Cameron, among others. And August got really excited when he saw the stuffed animals. He grabbed onto the pink sheep he looks at every time and wouldn’t let go, basically hugging it. He carried it around for a few minutes but I was able to peacefully return it to the shelf. We have plenty of stuffed animals already but I have a feeling I might be getting him a sheep at some point.
We came home and he had a huge dinner of spaghetti (noodles included this time). It was like I hadn’t been feeding him all day. He was a complete mess and due for a bath anyway, so even though he was tired Carly have him a bath. He went to sleep soon after that.
