Jason worked from 7-3:30 today, and I didn't get much time with Nathan this week, so today was our day to catch up. We started off with a free Gymboree class (you can do a free preview class)- after being a little whiny, nervous, and clingy at first (collateral damage from the day care fiasco), he loved it and climbed on everything in sight. There was a lot to do! The parachute and bubbles really amused him, he just had a big smirk on his face the whole time. On the car ride home he began to nod off, so I put him straight in his crib and he slept for two hours straight!
After lunch, we went to Amaya Papaya for their $3 open play special and met up with Andrea, Scott, and Angelica. It was really great because Angelica and Nathan are old enough to explore on their own (again, after Nathan's initial hysterical freakout that I was going to leave him, which Scott tried to avert with no success) so the grown ups got to chill and hang out. Nathan played with a lot of toys, but his favorites were the hula hoops, the rocking toys, and dumping bins out. He likes to dump them and then hum the clean up song while he puts the toys away. Such a good helper! After about 90 minutes, all of a sudden he went to the door, signed all done, said "bye-bye," and waved. So we left :) This kid has such an opinion on everything! He's also just started nodding yes (before he only did no), so it's easier to figure out what he's asking for (i.e. "are you ready to go home?").
Now he's sitting at the dinner table with Jason and has eaten: a banana (yes a whole banana), an orange (yes a whole orange), an adult serving of pasta, a quarter cup of blueberries, rice and black beans, a cup of milk, a slice of cheese, crackers, and freeze dried strawberries. Each time he clears his plate, he signs for more. I guess he worked up an appetite!!
