I didn’t go to bed until about 3:40 this morning because I was working on a new house plan. So I was in pretty rough shape upon getting up. After breakfast I went to Kroger for groceries since there is major snow on the way, supposedly. Later in the morning we had a video chat with my parents. Luke and I both failed at afternoon naps. Before dinner we swapped out some of our daylight light bulbs for soft white, and that was a really nice change. We will do the rest tomorrow. Dinner and bath time went well.
Cold, slick, and busy day.
After breakfast Luke had some sort of potty training session on a video call, so I took trash to the dump. The deck was covered in a layer of ice and was very treacherous. Upon returning home I showered and then took Luke back to the children’s museum. Today was a much better experience. Everybody was wearing masks and there were no bigger kids running around. Apparently there was no school yesterday. Luke was more active and I chatted with other parents while he played. We left without fussing, but he raised Cain on the drive home. He was in a mood through most of lunch, until he was surprised with some pumpkin pie. That improved his demeanor considerably, but did not help him nap. At two o’clock the attorney came by to close on our refinancing of the house. That went well and it feels great to be saving a lot of money. Later this afternoon we all went to Home Depot for light bulbs and air filters. Luke had a big time there. He ate a good dinner including more pie, and went to bed without issue.
Rain, surprise, museum, nap.
This morning it was rainy and nasty when we drove up to High Hopes. There was only one other car in the parking lot when we arrived and the lady said that they were opening at nine. So our 8:15 appointment was cancelled. Luke was pretty disappointed and we drove back home. We had snack and then went to the children’s museum (basically a play area) in downtown Columbia. It was an okay experience. A little crowded, very few masks, and just pretty hectic overall. Luke seemed to enjoy it though. We were late coming home and lunch took a little while to cook. He did nap, but only after a struggle and it was about 2:30 by the time he fell asleep. He woke up and had a snack, then Liz got off work and they played together for a while. At dinner he had his second serving of pumpkin pie of the day, and was thrilled about that. Bath and bed times went pretty well.
Last day of warm weather.
Today was supposedly the last day of nice weather before it gets cold and wet. This morning after breakfast Luke and I went to the playground in Spring Hill. We had a great time and were there for over two hours. Luke did a great job of playing with some other kids and really enjoyed going down the big slides. He was a little fussy when it was time to leave, but got over it. He had a good nap after lunch and while he napped I set the goat shed AKA his playhouse onto the floor that I built yesterday. We built Legos and read books until dinner. He was very happy that Liz made pumpkin pie this afternoon and ate a big piece for dessert. He went to bed easily.
Up and down Tuesday.
Luke and I played with Legos for most of the morning. My parents came and we all spent time outside together. Luke had a great time and spent the rest of the day talking about it. Lunch was a little late and then nap did not happen. He was a real handful for the whole afternoon. When Liz got off work I went outside and started building a floor for the goat shed, which will become Luke’s playhouse. He was still a bit of a pill at dinnertime, but bath and bedtime went okay.
