This Kid

Generally, I think Bobby has really good body control and balance, but I guess that doesn't mean he's coordinated.  And he's only been walking for 2 months, and now he's running, so he was bound to fall.  The matching horns on his head are fading slowly, but then he took his first real dive on the sidewalk at the playground and skinned his knee.  In his defense, the sidewalk was at least an inch unlevel at the seam.  I put a band aid on it to keep the neosporin from getting wiped off and every time he even saw the band-aid, he would get the most pathetic look on his face and whine - pretty funny stuff.

He is loving being outside as much as we can and we even went swimming today since it was 90.  I think it helps him sleep.  Every day is different, today he woke at 7 after waking at 3am; he took a two hour nap.  he goes down without a fuss, and it's about 50/50 if he stays down until morning.

Long weekend

We had a good time at the zoo, can't say we did much animal watching, but it was fun for us all.  I pointed out the big bears and gorillas, but that's about it. He liked the geyser thing and walking the railings and throwing mulch.

He literally waves hi at everyone and everything that he sees - including me when he sat up while being rocked to sleep.

We dropped his morning nap,  I would have liked to hold onto it a little longer, but I think this was a good decision.  He still gets a little tired early (11ish) but can usually hang on until after lunch (12:30 or 1) and then sleep 1-1.5 hours.  I hope this gets longer.  I am sure I will jinx it, but he is super easy to put down to sleep again.  He goes down totally awake.  I sort of just hold him and explain it's time and then put him down and walk away.  Less than 10 minutes after we finish bathing and books etc.

We went to the corn maze today and had a lot of fun.  It was way hot, but still a good day.  Not crowded at all. I sort of hated the maze itself though.  I hate being disoriented and having all those turn choices!  But they also had a jumping pillow, which we stayed on forever since no one else was really on it. and a dinosaur fossil sand pit. and a tractor ride.  They also had a gem sifter thing and lots of rocks in the gift shop - perfect for a 4 year old I know.  Their zipline and pumpkin patch open next month.  Maybe we'll go back!
