We are getting back on track here and all on different schedules. Carly woke up first, sometime after midnight, then August around 3am, and I slept until close to 6.
Before I got up they had skyped with Cassie and Vivi and read the cat book and Skip to My Lou a lot. They were skyping with Cherie when I got up. At some point last night, when August sort of woke up, Carly came in to find him holding Marshy.
Despite both carly and I feeling groggy today, we got outside three times though.
We went out at about 7am and the big things were going on the teeter totter, throwing away garbage in the garbage can, and walking towards cicadas when they started singing. Carly went back in first and August and I stayed out another 30 minutes until it started raining.
When we went back, he stood on his own and then walked out of the elevator and to the apartment. A small thing, but remarkable.
We went out the second time to get groceries at Home Plus. We also picked up a class schedule so I can sign him up for a class or two come September. On the way back, he spotted the dog statue and was very excited.
We went back to the park a second time at 1, after skyping with my parents. August was a little afraid of the fountain and just watched it. He started to do better wen I held him and walked up to it, but then it had a big burst that surprised us all and he got a little wet and that was enough. Again, I stayed out longer with him while Carly went in (this time, to rest – earlier it was to finish the stir fry she was making). We did more teeter tottering and trash pickup.
Carly and August basically both slept the afternoon and on into the evening. We will see how that affects the night…
