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.

Getting a few things done.

Luke and I read and built Legos this morning until it was time for him to go with Liz to the children’s museum in Columbia. While they did that I got my oil changed at Walmart – a two hour plus ordeal. After lunch Luke tried to nap but couldn’t. We did have about an hour of quiet time in his room though. After some more reading we went outside for almost a couple of hours. He mostly wanted to hang around the she shed. Liz came out after work and I went to the garage to make a couple of bird feeders. I am pleased with how they came out. I just used some scrap wood I had around and some wire mesh I bought at Home Depot. Luke was a bit fussy at bath time but went to bed okay.

Back at it.

Liz’s parents left this morning after breakfast. Luke and I did some reading then went outside until lunch time. He enjoyed helping me move wood around. After lunch he had a little meltdown but did end up taking a really good nap. Late this afternoon he had some sort of online potty training session. After dinner and clean up he went to bed pretty easily.

Active Monday.

This morning we removed the apple tree’s roots with the backhoe and moved a little dirt around. I took trash to the dump and got a call from Sunbelt saying the backhoe was overdue. There was some confusion but it worked out okay. After lunch I napped, then we pretty much all just relaxed for the rest of the day.
