Luke is screaming in the background as I write this. He really doesn’t want to go to bed it seems. The day went pretty well. More reading and Legos, some outside time, lunch, a failed nap attempt followed by a car nap, more Legos, dinner, bath, bedtime.
This morning Luke and I drove up to Franklin for his speech and occupational therapy. His speech therapist was blown away by the progress he has made. After that we went to Publix and Home Depot before taking a long drive to get home. We arrived for lunch, ate, then spent the afternoon playing with Legos and reading. After Liz got off work they went outside and I worked more on my office. We enjoyed dinner even though it ran a little long. Hopefully Luke will sleep better tonight than he did last night. He woke up several times screaming during the wee hours.
That is the term Liz uses to describe the unpleasant feeling on the day before work is due to resume. Today was a major case since we have been living a life of leisure so to speak for a week and a half. Liz went up to Cool Springs for most of the morning, so Luke and I built Legos, read books, and spent time outside. The weather was actually quite nice. After lunch we all went for a car ride as once again that is the only way he will nap. This afternoon I did more organizing in my office. Today I also made two dishes in the slow cooker. Trying to get back on track with eating healthy. Bed time was again difficult.
For whatever reason, probably yesterday’s college football games (Roll Tide), today felt like Sunday all day. Which made me a little sad because that meant back to the real world tomorrow. I guess I feel sad again tomorrow on real Sunday. Oh well.
This morning Luke and Liz played in the back field while I worked on organizing my office. I made good progress but still have a ways to go. We spent the rest of the morning reading and playing with Legos. After lunch he didn’t nap so we went for a nice drive and he fell asleep. We built more Legos this afternoon and he looked at tractors online. He kind of fought bed time but eventually went down.
Luke slept in until nearly seven this morning. After breakfast and a little Lego building he went outside with Liz and I worked in the garage. I am really making good progress and hope to finish up this weekend. Luke again didn’t nap but I stayed with him in his room for about an hour of quiet time. While we did that Liz baked a delicious apple tart. We all went to the playground on Iron Bridge Road after eating some. The weather was lovely and lots of other kids were there. He didn’t want to leave but we needed to go home and prepare dinner. He and I built another Lego tower while Liz cooked. He did well at dinner but fussed a lot at bedtime.
