August and I got up at the same time, a little before six. Carly had been up for some time. We spent the morning organizing the apartment. I think we are close to getting to first year overseas levels of organized, although with a lot more stuff.
It was an arty sort of morning. He played with play dough, and then was into coloring with the crayons. I managed to keep most of his coloring on the paper.
Carly went to work at 9ish. August seemed sleepy, but every time I tried to hold him and put on music he would want down on the bed. Three times we lay on the bed for several minutes. He would lounge on a pillow, change positions, etc. Eventually he would get back up. In between, we did a lot of sitting in the reading area and reading books.
Finally, I put him in the carrier and went for a little walk to the pink building. He fell asleep and I walked back, but he woke up when j tried to set him down – he now pulls his arms up over the straps, so it turns out I tickle him when I undo the clasps.
He woke up, and started playing. We ate some lunch (pineapple, crab, etc.) and made bags of snacks for both the backpack and backpack carrier.
Early afternoon by now and he was still awake and he wanted to get in the backpack. So we went for a walk, directly east. He fell asleep after about a mile, right near Hangeulbi Park. So I went in the park and set the carrier on the bench. He stayed asleep and I read.
He woke up after 40 minutes. But he needed more sleep as he wasn’t fully waking up. I held him and walked around with him for 15 minutes, but he still didn’t want to get down and play. So we walked home. I didn’t put him in the backpack, instead carrying him in my arms the whole way. We did stop in the park in front of the art museum for awhile and he inspected the grates for water. But it was getting sunny and hot, so we didn’t stay long.
By the time we got home Carly had returned. He ate some dinner, then Carly gave him a standing up bath and he went to sleep early.
