Luke and I returned to the Spring Hill park this morning. It was very nice outside and it felt great to be in the sun. He played and I talked with some other parents. We left there and went to Home Depot for a bit. Luke enjoyed that. He napped after lunch and then we read books until Liz got off work. Then we all went to the nature park for a nice walk. Dinner went well, as did bath and bed time. I didn’t ride on the exercise bike because I’m feeling a bit lazy. Also I have a lot to do on the computer.
Rolling along.
Luke and I went to the Spring Hill playground this morning. It was a little chilly but not too bad, and we stayed until lunch time. He took a good nap and we played with Legos afterwards. This evening I went on a very good exercise bike ride.
Another challenging day.
This morning Luke and I went up to High Hopes. I dropped him off and went to get Liz’s oil changed and also went by Aldi. He kind of flipped out but I think it is good for him to do some things by himself. His therapist said that once he calmed down he did really well. After therapy we went to Pinkerton Park and met my parents. Unfortunately it was rather cold and windy, but Luke still had fun. In an effort to warm up we all went to Sprouts grocery store just down the road. It is a nice place and I bought several things. Upon saying our goodbyes to my parents we drove home. Luke fell asleep on the way and was in a daze when we got home. We had lunch and attempted a nap. That did not go well at all he raged and threw up, then raged some more and made a mess of his room. Finally I gave up. We played until Liz got off work, and then I did a bunch of work on the computer until dinner time. We ate pretty quickly and he had an early bed time. I went on a brief exercise bike ride and spent the rest of the evening looking at trucks and trailers online.
Frustrating Sunday.
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.
