He was up at 6:55. He lay on the bed for 5 minutes before we headed downstairs. Watched a couple Pink Panthers, then we got going. Thinks went easily enough at school. He didn’t request a book. I almost made it out as he was standing along the wall with the things attached to it as musical instruments. He came over to me on the stairs though, but I was able to leave right at 8. He was choosing to sit at the bottom of the steps as I left, and I’m not sure how happy Marion was with that, but he was content enough.
They were supposed to have music time with Myriam after snack, but I’m not sure if that happened. He was noncommittal about it. I also didn’t stay too long at lunch. He forgot to bring out his lunch again, so I went back in with him to get it. Eve was sitting on the floor, sad. I asked what was wrong and she said Hector had cut in front of her at the front of the line. I introduced who I was and said I couldn’t do anything specifically about that, but that she could come out with August and I and eat lunch. That helped, and she came out with us and sat next to August. She then shared a cookie with us. When we talked about it later with Carly August said something like “She was doing friends with us?”
Didn’t have to stay too long and August let me go. They had tea party after rest time. He continues to have little treasures that he’s found during the day. I put them in my glasses case and put him in the little cloth basket in one of his treasure chests.
When I picked him up Marion told me to take his sheet home as well. He doesn’t use it, and she said it was too big. August had me go back out so he could run to me. Back inside we read the messages on his plant from Carly. He sand the Pink Panther song and had Andrea turn his volume down. He said something about “A funny cookie”, but I’m not sure exactly what. Maybe the cookie that Eve gave us. Or the ones he made at home.
We went out and ate on the bench. Carly came and met us and we walked home together.
At home he played Bandimal with Carly. He played the Wheels on the Bus app. I called it basically an interactive book, and after he asked ‘interactive’ became the word of the day. He played Monster Physics and I made pizza. We started reading Magic Tree House #26. The power went out after a few minutes. We went to check the electrical box, and I went next door and confirmed with David that it wasn’t just us. August had fun looking at the wires.
We stayed outside for awhile. I got him to do some challenges, we looked at how the gears work on my bike, and he made a dirt mixture. We went back inside and read more of the book. I started his bath and Carly made him a mango smoothie that he got to have before his bath. But first he also had ice cream outside. He came in and told me, “I’m an anthropologist because I watch people and I’m an archeologist cuz I find things.” He went to the chalkboard with Carly and she wrote down his observations from school: “They were playing kitchen really nicely.”
He did some typing of things to Korea Megan, then Carly took him upstairs to his bath. There was some yelling, but he came back down in a good mood. He had requested that he wear his brown shirt each Friday for their nature walks at school, as it has nature stuff on it. They wrote out a sentence about what he saw on the walk today. It was about seeing pomegranates in a bin. They then disappeared upstairs again. I brushed his teeth, then Carly was tired so went to sleep with him. I left them at 8:45.
