Tracing Numbers
Bud woke this morning briefly at about 6:30, but I managed to convince him to sleep for about another hour. After getting him into a dry diaper, we hung out in his room for a few minutes before heading downstairs for milk and TV. After that, we played together a little bit, starting on breakfast.I decided to do some cinnamon rolls this morning, and Bud seemed interested, but got a bit fussy as I was serving them. So I ate one, and M-lady came down and ate one, but the little dude managed to miss out. He didn't really seem too disappointed, though.
M-lady played with Bud from about 9:30 to 11:30 or so, while I snoozed. They had a great time, and read stories, sang songs, and played quite a bit with the short pipes and connectors from M-lady's sweater drying rack. Bud fashioned an improvised microphone, and spent a good amount of time rocking out.
M-lady and I switched again around 11:30, and after I wrangled Bud into some clothes, we headed downstairs to play for a bit. We did some drawing downstairs, and Bud showed off two new tricks. First, he tried tracing the numbers from one to ten I wrote down on the paper. He even wrote his own ten with was perfectly legible. Second, he tried a couple of simple connect-the-dots puzzles, with pretty reasonable success. His hand-eye coordination is growing by leaps and bounds.
We all had PB and J for lunch, and Bud tried out his new booster seat. It's a Kaboost, actually a booster for the entire chair, raising it up so he's at the right level at the table. It took a few minutes to convince him not to sit on his knees, but he seemed to like it after taking some time to get used to it. Looks like it's going to work pretty well.
After lunch he and I played a little bit more, including a couple songs of Guitar Hero. He got a little fussy around 2:30, though, so I put him down for a nap. He got really upset, and M-lady sat with him for a few minutes as he calmed down.
He snuck out of his room around 3:00, and I captured him and noticed he was a little stinky. After changing him out of a poopy diaper, I asked him to lie down and close his eyes one more time, not really expecting him to actually nap. He ended up sleeping until a bit after 5:00.
We were getting dinner ready and starting to watch the Academy Awards when Bud got up. He had a solid dinner of spaghetti with us, and then played with me for a little bit. We shared a bowl of ice cream for dessert, and then watched some of the Awards with M-lady before bed.
Bud was good through the bedtime routine, and went to sleep pretty quickly after I got him into bed around 8:10.
