Luke slept through the night for the first time since we converted his crib to a day bed. This morning we went to the park in Spring Hill and walked on the path before going to the playground. There were a lot of kids but we managed to avoid them and Luke went down the slide a few times. We left before it got too hot. Back at the house we snacked, played while Liz went to Target, had lunch, and then he had a decent nap. After nap we went for a walk at the nature park. Dinner went well, as did bath, but bed time was a bit rough. Eventually he went to sleep though. It’s nice that tomorrow is a holiday.

This morning Luke and I drove up to Brentwood and met my mother at a playground next to the library. He enjoyed watching other kids, climbing on the dinosaurs, swinging, going down the slides, and eating his snack. It was a little warm out but not miserable. Cooler weather is right around the corner. We drove home for lunch and once he went down for his nap I drove up to Monteagle. I went by the cottage, house, bank, and supply house. I called the plumber but had to leave a voicemail. After doing all of that I went to the Goat Market. I chatted with Eric for a while and then went with him to deliver food over to campus. It was nice to do something different. After that I drove over to Tracy City where they were having a classic car cruise in, and walked around there for a little while. The sky started to look interesting, so I headed to the Templeton Library for sunset. That was lovely and calming. I’ve just been relaxing at the cottage since, and will try to go to bed soon.

Luke and I pretty much did our regular thing all day. About an hour before she was due to arrive this afternoon, our nanny prospect bailed. Said she was feeling sick. Since we already had reliability concerns with her, she is now out of the running. So we texted the girl from yesterday saying that the job was hers and asking a good time to call to discuss. She said she would talk to her husband this evening and let us know. In the meantime we went to the nature park for a nice walk. After dinner she texted to say that her husband was late getting in and she would be in touch tomorrow. My guess is that she is waiting for another job offer. Luke was a little challenging at bedtime this evening.
