I left about 8:30 to go meet Derek for our next stint on the Seoul Trail. We are to the south end of Seoul now. But there was time this morning to read The Hole in the King’s Sock a couple times with August. It has been one of his favorite books the last several days and we’ve read it a lot.
The hike went well. A much nicer part of the trail than the last day. We got back to Hagye a little before 2 and grabbed lunch at McDonald’s and ate it in the park.
I then hurried home and then caught up to everyone else playing at the playground at Madeul Stadium. While I was gone, Chuck and Cherie took August to Home Plus in the stroller and Cherie made soup. They used the stroller for taking him to Madeul, and he really likes the novelty of it. We played in the sand, and then on the exercise equipment before heading home. I pushed him on the way home. On the way, he was singing to himself chunks of ABC song, and later reciting the ”see bee, we see a bee” part of Hop on Pop.
In the late afternoon evening Carly taught him ‘heeby jeeby’, which he found hilarious. And he had me recite the Elmo and Abby lines from Plant a Tree for Me over and over again. We played Endless Alphabet, and he is now doing 8 letter words on his own with little problem. Showing a growing attention span, as much as anything else.
The funniest moment was when he climbed on the couch and sat down, said ‘nat nat’ (nurse nurse) to Carly, and forcefully pointed two or three times to the seat next to him, telling her to sit down.
Carly got him to sleep about 7:30. She puts him to sleep most days now by singing or humming the ABC song.
New words/phrases: clean, get mama shoe (as in trying to put sand on it), ha dumpty (humpty dumpty)
