A double holiday! August celebrated by making today the day he would really start to transition to walking as his favored mode of locomotion. And he is suddenly trying to put on his own socks, shoes, and hat. And this morning he was really trying to plug in the vacuum cleaner (pretty difficult as there was a safety cover in the outlet).
Carly had the day off. So after Carly made a quick trip to the pink building for groceries we headed to Korea University. We first ‘celebrated’ Cinco de Mayo’ by eating lunch at a Dos Mas burrito place. We then walked around campus, stopping for quite awhile at a nice square near the center of campus. Carly and I took turns with August and read. He walked around a lot, played with the tennis ball, and made a lot of funny noises as he explored. This was also where he tried putting on his hat.
We then went to the university museum – August and I went during one of our first weeks alone last fall on a very rainy day. There was a cool art exhibit all about tigers in art. August really liked it. But he was getting tired so after that we left and he fell right asleep.
After he finished his nap back home. I took him out to the crazy Children’s Day festival going on in the park while Carly made soup and did some grading. We walked around a bit and ended up on top of the Buk Museum where I took August out of the carrier.
He immediately wanted to walk down the stairs. About halfway we came across a drainage ditch full of rocks. He sat down and proceeded to play with rocks for 20+ minutes.
From there we headed down to the area in front of the museum where he proceeded to walk and explore all across the park. We eventually came out on the sidewalk on the south end. I put him in the carrier and we went home for dinner.
We ate and then headed back into the park to watch the talent show starting at 6:30. Carly came out and met us a bit later. August did some playing in the playground and really tried to climb the play structure. We watched a few acts before calling it a night.
