With Daddy home on Friday, we spent most of the morning in an IFSP meeting for Lars. (More on that in the days to come) and also some time outside enjoying the sunshine and short sleeves, hence the new pics. A chalk city was drawn on the patio, complete with stop lights and cross walks, and the vehicles were out in full. It was a busy day in Sillytown!
I do enjoy the fall, but I've been unusually busy since returning from Michigan, and haven't been able to get out as much as I'd like. The last few days, I've forced myself to let the laundry pile up and the dust to sit while we enjoy what's left of the warm weather. Soon, it will be winter boots and mittens, which is equal fun, but with twice as much work involved!
Saturday, the kids and I walked to the park and played until it was almost dark. Lars contemplated climbing up the steps to the slide, but backed out each time. He did go down one of the small slides by himself, though. Eden is now able to climb up the half dome monkey bar, but still needs help on the way down. She is able to pump her legs on the swings much higher than I can push her, which makes her proud, but she still wants me to push. Elia sat in the stroller, guarded by Samson, who napped beside the wheel.
I think we're starting to learn some more of Lars' sleeping patterns. When he is enjoying an evening activity (penny carnival last week, a loud night running around screaming n playing hide and seek in an empty house last night), he ends up waking up around 0100 and screaming uncontrollably for hours on end, unable to calm down. I hadn't linked the two together before the early hours of today, when I was faced with the question, "what happened between last night and the night before?" and I broke down our two days, coming up with two completely different types of days. I'm now keeping an 'activity and sleep calendar' to see if we can avoid some late nights in the future.
Well, enough of this one handed typing (thanks, Elia). enjoy the week!
