This morning we left before ten to go to Toys R Us. On the way there August liked all the paper (well, plastic) lanterns now lining the streets.
Once we were there we watched the puppies in the pet store, pushed buttons on the machines outside Toys R Us, and then spent time letting August walk around the toy store. He kept getting excited by the piano each time we went back to it, so I knew it would be a good purchase.
We bought it and headed home. A little awkward to carry, but luckily the rain had let up so no need for an umbrella.
At home he continued to stay up for a long time and didn’t fall asleep for almost 7 hours. When he did take a nap he woke up after 40 minutes and cried for awhile before I got him back to sleep. And when he woke up at 3 he cried more and sort of dozed on my shoulder. But he got upset if I tried to sit down. And when he was crying he would sign ‘more’ and ‘please’ but I couldn’t tell what he was talking about.
Finally, at 3:30 I decided we should just go outside. He wasn’t happy with the process of getting ready, but his mood changed when he got outside.
We spent time exploring the park on foot – first in the area close to Carly’s morning bus stop and then over in front of the museum. We returned home a bit past 4:30, beating Carly home by about 10 seconds.
In the evening we made a quick trip next door to the grocery store for a couple things. Carly was carrying August and he was incredibly hyper
He ate a ton today: eggs, bananas, banana bread, broccoli, salmon… And he continued that with a spaghetti dinner. Carly gave him a bath after that for obvious reasons.

No, August. We are not spending 400 dollars on a Tayo bus you can drive:
