August woke up really early (before 6) this morning so Carly took him on a walk. They got coffee downtown at the Vogue and then went to Riverwalk Park and played in the grass.
They came home and he took a nap. After his nap, I took him out on another walk. We walked across the new bridge and walked around the high school and football practice field before taking a break at Centennial Park, a little park up the hill from the ranger station. We played in the drinking fountain and sat in a bench for a snack. He then walked around the grass and by the flag pole.
We walked home through Riverwalk Park. We took another August break at the boardwalk bridge by the pumping station so he could watch water coming from the pipes. He clearly knows the word ‘pipe’ now and was saying it over and over. Apparently he was saying it earlier when he and Carly walked through the same area.
Back home he played with my parents: using the broom, getting my dad to put the bath toys back together when they came apart, having my mom help him give the doll her pacifier, etc.
He took a long nap. After that he played outside in the sprinkler with Carly and used his cloth swimsuit diaper thing for the first time while he played in the water.
We had an early dinner. My dad made stir fry and rice, which August gobbled down – except for the cabbage.
After dinner we drove down to Long Park in Chelan Falls by the powerhouse. Carly floated in the water. August played in the water for a little while with the net and two plastic fish, but was more interested in a bucket someone had left on the beach. That didn’t last long either, however, and he wanted to go play in the drinking fountain we had seen on the way in. He has quite the memory.
So I took him over there only to find that the drinking fountain didn’t work. Nor did the outdoor shower or faucet. August was not happy about that and didn’t really recover after that.
We went home and he had a nice long bath and play time in the tub before heading to bed.
