Before his nap, we all went out to the park to play for awhile. I then hopped on the subway to meet a few other people downtown who were all going to get new glasses. While I was gone, August took his nap and then he and Carly walked along the stream and went to a playground, then went grocery shopping.
In the morning, August and I made a fort out of Oma and Opa’s chairs, putting them back-to-back with a blanket over them. August took Marshy in, and was laying him down, saying “Marshy sleepy”. When I was in there with him, I sent August out to get me a pillow. The first time he just touched a pillow then came back. But I sent him out a second time and he returned with a pillow.
Carly made chicken soup and had it ready for lunch. August ate a lot in the morning: the cooked chicken, Cheerios and milk, and zucchini.
He is getting close to knowing the entire ABC song. He regularly does A to L, and today was reciting O to Z. It is just M and N that are tripping him up.
I left and made it to Namdaemun a few minutes before 2. Meg and OC (other Carly) were already there. We waited a few minutes for Jodi to show up, then walked up to the glasses place. It went fast. I picked out two pairs of frames, got my eyes checked, and haggled over price (both pairs for $350 – about what I paid for just one pair in the states a few years ago) and was done by 2:25.
We all went our separate ways. I was going to go to the money museum, but it is temporarily closed. So I walked up to City Hall, and explored the old city hall building, now the main library. They have some history exhibits in there, and an exhibit to the Sewol ferry disaster. Then found an art exhibit hall in the underground area between the library and city hall. I need to go back tomorrow to pick up my glasses, so will take August to the library/city hall. All sorts of things to see inside there, including an art exhibit in city hall that I didn’t have time for today.
Took a bus home. Got home and they weren’t home yet. Remembered I needed to get bread, so went down to Tous les Jours and ran into them as they were coming in the building.
He was really into the ‘In the Garden’ and ‘In the Forest’ books, finding the ladybug, snail, etc. in each picture. We haven’t looked at those since before summer.
We also played more in the fort and on the bed. Gave him a bath at 8, which he did not want. He fell asleep about 8:30.
New words/phrases: hot in there (lamp), texture, Chicken soup, voca, pattern, mole, worm, mushrooms, bunny, slug, more grampa’s shirt on (wanting to put on a shirt)
