At one point during the night he got up on the bed on his own and slept next to me, leaving Carly down on the bed on the floor. At another, Carly had gotten up to go get him some medicine. I didn’t hear that, just him a minute later saying “Mama, mama” and leaving the room. I got up and followed him down and was then confused as I thought Carly was up at 2:30, sick or something. Twice during the night he fell back to sleep while not nursing.
He woke up about 6:15. Carly tried to get him back to sleep but he was ready to get up. When I came down a little later he gave me a nice warm welcome. Carly was heating up the rest of his hot chocolate from last night, as he had asked to save it for later.
Carly headed to work and he was playing Math Tango. He got a couple dance parties and danced along. As he played he suddenly said “I hope mama has a good time.” And he also said “I love animusic videos.”
I made us green french toast and he ate a whole price. He had started playing Seuss Band while I made it, and we played a bit more together after we ate. We then read On Beyond Zebra and he made up a lot of his own letters. I went to the bathroom and he had it read Green Eggs and Ham to him.
We rested apps from his iPad. He suddenly remembered that Dungeon Keeper or Looty Dungeon app that the had played for a couple days then I deleted. He got really sad for a few minutes: “Could you please find it again?”
Gave him some medicine and Gatorade and he asked “When we were sick at Thatcher’s house why did they only want us to drink a sip of gatorade?” Acted out not sipping and throwing up. “Dada, why didn’t I have to go to the doctor?”
We played some Dragonbox Elements. Getting into angles of triangles now. At one point he told me “Next time we do it I will figure it out myself.”
We read The Bippolo Seed, then he started watching Animusic videos but his iPad froze. I got my iPad, but he was then upset about the battery level and I said it didn’t need to be plugged in and he got upset. Calmed him down and we read Undet, Over, By the Clover: What is a Preposition? He then said he wanted to watch anothrr race. But then he spilled the kernels of the popcorn on the couch. I got the vacuum cleaner and he got really sad when I vacuumed. He said he needed to watch the cars again. He basically seemed sick/tired like yesterday, so I gave in. Plugged in my ipad using the fraying cord. He wanted me to tape it like the other one so it would last longer, so I got the tape. He watched part of the race, pushing the emoji buttons. Then recovered some energy and played more Seuss Band. We then read Oh, the Places You’ll Go!
He watched Llama Llama while I took shower. After which we were back playing on the couch again. Kept expecting him to take a nap but he never did. And he didn’t want to go outside or do anything else. Played with the Arabic ocean app and Toca Home, then he decided he did want a walk.
We got going outside at 2:45. We played with the alien a bit, then August told him “Go to the time of dinosaurs, alien! Don’t get eaten! If you see any, trap them. Put them in the secret place in your spaceship.” He asked me to get him a new stick since Carly had disposed of his last one. I did, and he played with it for a couple minutes, but then decided he didn’t like sticks anymore. So he broke it into pieces and wanted to throw it away.
We walked up to our park and played there for a few minutes. We went on the bouncy thing together. We then walked up to the snakes and ladders park. Along the way he was asking all sorts of cool questions: “Why does cocoa smell good, but it isn’t sweet? How many people does the Earth fit? How does paint stick to things? How can bricks get in the ground? How can Electricty kill you? How can screws make things attach?” And “How can ground hold itself up if there’s empty space under it?”
At the playground we played on the snakes and ladders board quite a bit, then he went over to the climbing part and played there. Coming home we walked out the back way and took a long route home. We stopped at the little alligator bench in our park for a slice of apple.
At home he watched the Arabic Adventures of Zee app. And I found out that the guy’s night today was cancelled as no one could make it. Carly got home as I was making a mango smoothie for all of us. August skyped with Vivian, who didn’t have school today because of ice. Carly had the computer on the couch but he kept standing up and walking around it. He got upset when she moved the computer off the couch. I brought him some spaghetti as he sat at the table, still on skype. But he didn’t want it, asking Carly “Could you take that away?”
He asked for a second cup of smoothie, but being grumpy and/or funny he first asked if it was fresh, then kept claiming it was moldy and making little disgusted sounds as he drank it. He drank it all anyway. Carly took him up and they played with kaleidoscope cards. I left them at 6:15 and he was asleep nice and early.
