It was a nice recovery/getting things done day. In the morning August and I stayed home. We made banana bread and a smoothie and did some straightening up. Later, after Carly got home, I went grocery shopping and took out garbage, etc. and Carly gave him a bath.
August is working on a lot of things these days, but particularly words. Purple was a new word today, and he says it very clearly. He’s doing quite well with identifying colors, but this is the first one he can really say. Other words he says a lot now or is working on include dizzy, icky, Vivi, auntie, ant, woof, and probably a few others I’m forgetting. Yes, we’re at the point where there are too many words to keep track of.
After sleeping all day yesterday, he changed things up today, starting with last night when he woke up with Carly for a couple hours. Then this morning he still woke up at 6:30. He seemed tired a few times, particularly after skyping with my parents, but he stayed awake until almost noon and slept less than 40 minutes. It was actually two mini naps, as he woke up for about ten minutes in the middle. The good news was that I was able to just lay next to him and he got himself back to sleep.
After he woke up he ate lunch (he was very intent on using a spoon with a bowl of beans) and I checked his temperature (just 37.1). We walked up to the fake stream next to the real stream and threw rocks in the stream again and then threw leaves in and followed them through the current. Didn’t stay as long this time though as it was later in the day this time and we had less shade.
We then went up to the street and across it to the park and went on the swings, played in the sand, threw around the tennis ball, and drank from the fountain.
On our way home we stopped at the dingy little toy/stuff store and bought a glider and a Larva matching game for use in the future.
On our walk home August fell asleep, so I walked around the park for about 25 minutes until Carly was home. He woke up when I got home.
He had a pretty good evening, taking a bath when I was at Home Plus, and going to bed around 8.
