Liz, Luke, and I went up to Franklin for his therapy this morning. While they went inside I visited Publix. Unfortunately I didn’t buy one of the pumpkins pictured below. Unfortunately I did buy a bottle of Diet Dr. Pepper, which had me feeling sick for the rest of the day. Luke and I played and he took an okay nap.
Luke didn’t want to go to the nature park this morning so we just played in the spare room. My dad texted to say that the plumber was at my house today, which was great. Luke’s nap was a little problematic but he went down even though he ended up sleeping on the floor. We went to the nature park with Liz after she got off work this afternoon. I worked in the garage after dinner and then went to Kroger. Luke struggled at bed time. I hope he gets a good night’s sleep.
Luke and I went for a walk at the nature park this morning while it was still nice and cool. He enjoyed looking for different colored leaves. We returned to the house and read books and played with Legos until it was time for an early lunch. He didn’t really want to nap and ended up sleeping on the floor. Oh well, his decision. After nap we played some more until Liz got off work. Then they played outside while I worked in the garage, trying to organize it. Dinner went well, so did bath, then all Hell broke loose. He didn’t want to go to bed, and so he screamed and threw books. Liz left him and she cried a ton too. Wow, lots of emotion. He eventually went to sleep in his bed. I need to go to Dollar General now.
It sure was nice for Liz to have the day off. After breakfast I went outside to weedeat and mow. There was heavy dew on the ground but things went okay. I actually really like mowing and the sense of accomplishment it provides. At ten we were joined by Lillian, who we interviewed for our nanny position. She quickly developed a rapport with Luke and answered all of our questions in a satisfactory manner. At the end of the interview we offered her the job, and she accepted. So that is a huge relief. She will begin next Monday. Luke ate a good Lunch but didn’t nap at all. He stayed in his room for close to an hour before we came to get him. Then we decided to drive up to Pinkerton Park in Franklin. Of course he fell asleep on the way and the park was pretty crowded when we arrived, so we decided to drive to the playground in Spring Hill. He woke up just as we pulled in, and we played for a while. We went to Home Depot and he sat on the lawn mowers with Liz while I bought a couple of things inside. We picked up pizza at a new place in Spring Hill and took it home. It was pretty good. Luke went to bed without too much fuss, thankfully.
Luke slept through the night for the first time since we converted his crib to a day bed. This morning we went to the park in Spring Hill and walked on the path before going to the playground. There were a lot of kids but we managed to avoid them and Luke went down the slide a few times. We left before it got too hot. Back at the house we snacked, played while Liz went to Target, had lunch, and then he had a decent nap. After nap we went for a walk at the nature park. Dinner went well, as did bath, but bed time was a bit rough. Eventually he went to sleep though. It’s nice that tomorrow is a holiday.
