At some point last night Luke decided that he didn’t want to wear a diaper, so he pulled it off. He did not take a break from peeing though, so it wasn’t a very good morning for anybody but him. We did a lot of reading and playing with Legos and puzzles during the day. He also discovered that with his step stool and high chair he can pretty much reach any item that he wants on the kitchen counters. I napped while he did this afternoon and we all went to the nature park when Liz got off work. It was pretty hot out but still nice to be outside.
Hanging around, playing, reading, eating, mowing grass.
Another day. Luke had fun misbehaving.
Fun with grandparents.
Luke woke up while it was still dark again this morning. We played with Legos and read some books, then went outside for a while. My parents came a little after ten, and he played with them until lunch time. He napped around noon for a couple of hours. My parents ate lunch with me and then left after some conversation. We played some more after Luke woke up. Liz got off work and I tried to get her car working properly. No luck, so tomorrow I will take it to the mechanic. After dinner I mowed a bit of grass. It felt good outside.
Recovery day.
This morning Luke and I went up to Franklin for his speech therapy at High Hopes. He slept most of the way up there. Things didn’t start off to well – he cried a lot when Miss Sarah took us to her room. But he calmed down and started having fun. He pretty much talked the whole drive home. We read and played with Legos until lunch time. He ate a decent amount, then went down for a nap. So did I. Mine lasted about two hours, while his was nearly four and a half. Liz was finished with work by the time he woke up, so we all went to the nature park. We brought along his bus and he loved riding it on the newly paved path. The temperature was a bit warmer than expected. Luke had a good dinner and bedtime, and now we are just relaxing. Hopefully it will be an early night to bed.
Reunited.
Well, it was quite a day. I had trouble sleeping last night and got out of bed a lot earlier than usual. After kind of cleaning up my car I drove up to my parents’ house. I visited with them for a few minutes and then borrowed my mother’s car to go get Liz and Luke. Instead of heading straight up I-65 I took I-24 to Hopkinsville, then a Kentucky parkway, then I-69 to Indianapolis. We were due to meet south of the city, but Liz was running late. Shocking. So I drove up to Kokomo and waited for them in the parking lot of a farming museum. They finally arrived and we were able to get everything transferred pretty quickly. The drive home was long but uneventful. We stopped at a rest area so Luke could eat. He loved seeing all the semi trucks there. Same when we stopped for gas, he just loves pointing at them. We finally arrived home at about ten. I was exhausted. Luke was happy to see the moon out. He turned 28 months old today.
