This is how the chair works, right?
On Monday, I took Austin to the doctor for his 15 month checkup. He was not happy about his inoculation but he only had to get one needle because he’s already had chicken pox (December 2008 when he was just a wee baby). He is growing well and his development appears to be right on track. After a nap, Austin was feeling great so we popped over to visit Denise for a late lunch. He loves his Aunt Denise. We stayed long enough to visit with Erich and Erin when they got home from school before returning home. Jeff had to stay late at Aikido to practice for an upcoming weapons test so he wasn’t home to see Austin before bed.
Tuesday we drove to Niagara Falls to visit with Austin’s great-grandmother Nan. We had visits from Jean, Marena, and Toni while we were there. We arrived at 10:30 and stayed until about 4:00. We ate, played and read books. Austin had his naps in the car so was raring to go when we got home. Fortunately, Jeff was able to slip out of Aikido and arrive home in time to pop Austin into bed.
Wednesday Denise babysat Austin while Jeff and I met with our financial advisor. When I returned home, Denise left to participate in a school event. Aunt Lisa was able to pop over for a visit. She and Austin continue to find new ways to play with his toys. It’s so great to have someone try new things with Austin. It really helps him to be creative. After she left, Austin and I went into the Medicalis office. I had to officially resign so that I can stay at home as a full-time parent to Austin. I am sad to leave Medicalis. It is an excellent company filled with wonderful people. I intend to maintain ties with the company until I am ready to return to work full time. In the evening, Jeff was taking a weapons test at Aikido and was not home to put Austin to bed. He was able to get home in time to look after Austin while I popped out to start a new “Intro to Belly Dance” class. It certainly is a great core workout and I’m thrilled to be getting some exercise.
Thursday we went to visit Aunt Sandy and Zara for our regular play date. Austin did not nap in the car on the way to Guelph so we had a shorter visit leaving at 12:30 so Austin could get a good afternoon nap started. He was so tired, I was able to transfer his into his crib and have him continue his nap when we got home. We spent the afternoon playing until Jeff got home. Austin hasn’t seen his daddy for his bedtime ritual as often as usual this week and was thrilled to have hours of playtime with Daddy before bed.
Friday was our day to stay at home. We had a delivery of a closet system from Ikea in the afternoon. In the evening, Daddy and Austin had alone time as I popped out to meet my friends for dinner and a movie.
Saturday was a beautiful sunny day so we popped Austin into the backpack and took a short walk through the neighbourhood. After a nap, we headed to Best Buy to pick up a couple of things before heading to the Eppel’s for dinner.
Sunday was a quiet day at home. We played, read books and watched “The Wiggles”. It was nice to have a quiet day at home.
