Yesterday I

  • Got up with Johann, then handed him off to his Mom so I could put in my contacts. She made him toast and blueberries for breakfast, and I sat with him at the table and ate cereal.  We played inthe house, and then I took him to the park with the small kid equipment.  I used my gray fleece (found in the car) to dry off slides and swings.  We first went on the little swing, then he played on the toddler tube slide.  He went down a few times, sometimes a little nervous, but figured it out on his own.  He discovered the gear shifts on the jeep cut outs.  Went down the small slide a few times, then over to the chimes for some ringing.  Loves the chimes.  
  • Came home, but a nap wasn't in the cards.  Played in the garage in his cardboard house, with Midori following along. He did more pushing of his carts.
  • Kel came home,heated up some quiche for her, and some for me.  Johann came over to me, asking for some, so I proceeded to feed him quiche by hand.  He took down most of my piece,and most of a second piece. On a body weight basis, that's like me eating the whole quiche.
  • I started to replace the blinds in his room.  He was standing in his crib, didn't really like it.  Tried to get him to go down, but no luck.  At one point, he just started to really cry, so I went in and cuddled him.  He was tired and wanted to sleep in my arms, but didn't wan to be put down.  I held him in the big chair, thinking this wasn't a bad way to spend a Saturday afternoon.
  • Eventually gave up on naps, but did some great walking pushing of his cart.  If I support his chest so he can't go too fast forwards, he can walk behind the pusher, and will do it for a few feet.  Progress!
  • Larke & Jon & Griffin came over, with an insulated growler for me for a present.  We had a nice dinner of paella and salad.  Griffin is big, with many words, and walking well. He's a bit of a bruiser with Johann, I think he doesn't play with other kids, or smaller kids.  Johann ended up crying a few times when he was treated roughly.
