Luke was a bit of a challenge today. He woke up super early and was rowdy. We went to the playground in Spring Hill so he could run around, and he enjoyed that. He interacted with some other kids and did lots of climbing. From there we went to Lowe’s, where I gathered more paint samples and Luke looked at lawn mowers. We came home for lunch and he didn’t nap for the second day in a row. Maybe he will tomorrow when I am putting him down again. One highlight from the afternoon was seeing birds at the feeders that I put out yesterday. Hopefully even more will come. Luke was very wild this afternoon and had me and Liz pretty frustrated. Dinner wasn’t much better, although he was at least funny. Bath and bed times were early due to no nap. I had a good ride on the exercise bike this evening and am now just messing about on the computer. I will try to go to bed early tonight.
Fast day.
This morning while Liz and Luke were eating breakfast I went to Kroger. It was nice that not many people were there, but less nice that I had to use the self checkout. They had almost everything on my list though. Luke enjoyed helping put the groceries away when I returned. While he and Liz went outside I built some more bird feeders and made hangers out of some little electric fence posts that I got at TSC yesterday. Unfortunately the feeders were way too heavy so I made some lightweight suet cages and hung them instead. I tried to nap this afternoon but was just able to lay in bed for a couple of hours. After dinner I did another exercise bike workout and finished The Expendables 3. This was the first time I used my heart rate monitor, which will be useful for tracking my workouts.
The rain arrives but we are still active.
This morning after his Zoom therapy Luke and I went on an epic trip around Columbia. We started off at Office Depot, then visited Lowe’s, Tractor Supply, Ace Hardware, and Sunbelt Rentals. He had fun at each stop, especially Lowe’s. We came home for lunch and he took a good nap this afternoon. Dinner and bath went pretty well. He was poopy right at bedtime, so that delayed things a bit. This evening I did a good exercise bike ride and then watched a little more of The Expendables 3. The bike rides are helping me sleep better at night, I think.
Sunny weather continues.
Luke and I drove up to High Hopes this morning and he did really well at speech therapy. From there we drove to Henry Horton State Park in Chapel Hill and met my parents, who were driving back from Monteagle. We had a lot of fun at the really nice playground there. Luke enjoyed the slides and collecting gumballs. We drove home for lunch and after a struggle he took a nice nap. We played until Liz got off work. This evening I went on another exercise bike ride, then started watching The Expendables 3 on Amazon Prime.
Still beautiful outside.
It was a challenging day as Luke was a bit of a handful pretty much all day. We went to the Spring Hill playground again this morning and he enjoyed seeing a lot of other kids. He didn’t want to leave and fussed when we did. After lunch we tried to nap but he didn’t. We played Legos and read this afternoon. Liz is bathing him now. He should go to bed early tonight. I will try to ride the exercise bike again shortly.
