Note: Squarespace has started to randomly crop and squish my vertical photos. I’ve contacted customer service and they are working on it. Until then, August will look kind of funny in some of the photos.
I fell asleep at 9, and was up at 4:30. August slept until 6:45 – a little over 12 hours.
Speaking in his sleep: “dada” and “hungry baba”
In the morning we made banana bread. He found the hair dryer, so j plugged it in behind the microwave and he played with it in the reading area.
He also helped peel and mash bananas, then helped with making the smoothie.
In between, he was licking the spatula and pointing up to the open cupboard saying “I see salsa!”
The delivery guy had called up at 10:15, but hadn’t arrived by 11:02, so we hurried to August’s class, getting there just when it started at 11:10. Class was all about the story about the tortoise and the hare. He got to play with a plastic turtle shell, stand on them, run across the room to get a flag, and play a drum.
After class we went to Home Plus for a few things, then home. An iHerb package had come and I picked it up at the guard station. To do so, I had to put August down. With my arms full of stuff (including the free Mickey towel they gave me at the guard station as part of the building’s 10 year anniversary), he was able to walk with me to the elevators.
We played at home awhile and I expected him to sleep. He wasn’t going to sleep, so I took him for a walk in the carrier and that worked. But he woke up and started crying when I put him down on the bed. After a couple minutes his crying turned to laughter.
So then we headed to Costco. What used to feel like a big trip is now something we do in the early afternoon before Carly gets home.
I let him down to walk around and look at the toy section. He really liked a few of the things, particularly a fire station set and a bus that teaches phonics. He found out that it also plays ‘Itsy Bitsy’, which he calls ‘Hungry Baa Baa’.
We headed home and played. At 5:25 he suddenly started wanting mama, so we went to the elevators. She didn’t show by 5:35 so I coaxed him back in by saying we would vacuum. We were vacuuming the play area when Carly got home.
At 7:30 I went down to my writers group meeting. We met in Cafe Heim on the 2nd floor.
It got done at 9 and j stopped by Jeff’s apartment to borrow a fan, as one of ours is broken. Went home to find that August had stayed up until 8. Impressive, since he basically didn’t have a nap.
