Kevin took part of last Friday off and we hopped on a ferry and went to Friday Harbor. It was a glorious day - one of those days that I am so thankful I live in the PNW. It was clear, everything was so green, the water was calm and we could see the mountains. It was warm, too! This was a much needed trip for us - just to get out of town and enjoy time together. N did great - the ferry ride was a definite highlight for him. He loves walking and when wind is added he is so happy. All smiles. We walked him around and around the ferry. Then we walked around Friday Harbor and, of course, had ice cream down at the harbor. This is where N found a spider friend. He seems to have this things for bugs. I am trying so hard not to freak out and smash them - he, generally, won't touch. Just kind of leans over and looks at them real close like. At least that is what he used to do. This spider was different though. He needed to touch it...and then roll it around and look some more. I remained calm and let him play with it - and then when he wasn't looking I quickly moved it away. He looked back and spider was all gone! So sad. :) Not really. Then back onto the ferry for more walking. We were ALL exhausted when we got home, but it was the best day.
One of N's most favorite things right now is to play with his trucks and cars. I finally moved them into their own basket in the living room/TOY room. He just kept pulling them out of his toy basket anyways - might as well give them their own home. He zooms them around the living room and kitchen - usually two at a time - making zoomy car noises as he goes. Then he examines the underside of them to make sure they are working ok - and off again he goes. This has been one of my favorite things of being a parent - watching him learn. I had no idea that would be so cool. I love watching him make connections and put things together - it is amazing.
We think that this week the 3x/week visits will finally start. They were supposed to begin weeks ago but there have been complications every week. Next week the schedule changes, again - one of his sister's starts school. So we will see what that brings.
Boogies. Oh yea. N is sick right now. I think just a head cold, but sick all the same. Lots of boogies right now. Boogie here. Boogies there. Boogies everywhere. N HATES his nose being wiped, too. He will race away and try to hide from us if he sees us with a boogie wipe. (I love those Boogies wipes! I know they are a bit on the pricey side, but I.LOVE.THEM.) He seems to be a on the mend today - we did lots of horsey rides this afternoon. That must be a good sign.
