Luke and I went up to High Hopes this morning and he did really well. We stopped at Publix before returning home. At home we played with Legos until lunch time, then he eventually napped. More Legos and reading after nap. It was pretty chilly so we didn’t go outside. Luke managed to stretch out dinnertime a bit, but he did well during bath and bedtime. Tomorrow is supposed to be a little warmer so hopefully we can be active.
Where did the day go?
Luke slept in a little this morning. We built some Legos before I went outside and split a little firewood. My friend Tim came and picked up some for his outdoor fire pit. It was good to see and talk with him for a few minutes. After lunch both Luke and I failed to take naps. I really tried and stayed on the sofa for a couple of hours or more. After that we all went outside. Liz and Luke picked up sticks and I cut some boards for the floor of Luke’s playhouse. Unfortunately I am one board short, so was unable to assemble everything. We had a quick dinner and Luke went to bed easily because he was so tired. Liz and I have been watching the Super Bowl since then.
Fun day.
After breakfast and playing a bit we drove up to Lauren’s house in Nashville. The purpose was a little surprise birthday celebration for my dad, about a week after his birthday. We started off playing in the back yard, which Luke really enjoyed. Lunch was from Panera. We left about one and drove for a while longer than necessary so Luke could get some sleep. We stopped in Lynnville because I wanted Liz to see a leather store there. Once home we played some more and then had dinner. I started to sand the kitchen countertops but didn’t have the appropriate sandpaper so I went to Home Depot for more, then to Publix for groceries. It is a little expensive but a much better experience than Kroger.
Finally Friday!
Luke woke up at the extreme early hours in a weird mood and didn’t want to go back to bed. Other than that it was another routine day. Legos and books in the morning, lunch, thankfully he took a nap, then more Legos and books until Liz got off work. She took him outside and I made her a wren house. Dinner was some black beans with rice that I made. They turned out pretty well, I think. I used salsa from Cherry Republic in Michigan. Luke is getting his bath now.
High Hopes, playground, Legos, drive, building.
This morning Luke and I drove up to High Hopes for speech therapy. That went pretty well. Afterwards we met my dad at the park in Franklin. Luke had fun but it was super cold and windy. We drove home and built Legos until lunch time. He tried to nap but couldn’t so we went for a drive. It was nice to be on the road – we went out to Santa Fe and came back through Burwood. We had snack and built more Legos upon our return. After Liz got off work I returned to the garage and built a bluebird house and another feeder, this time one that attaches to a window. Dinner was a lentil dish I made in the slow cooker today. I thought it was delicious. Luke is getting a bath now and will hopefully go down for bed without a fight.
