I apologize for the lack of posting. Things have started to finally settle down into a routine. Elliot only wakes up in the middle of the night maybe once or twice a week now. I’m still working a lot, but things are generally going well. It’s starting to make me think that a second baby might actually be doable (but not quite yet 😉 ).
Anyways, I am working tonight (Friday night) due to some weird stipulations in the resident work hours. So, I got Friday during the day off. Logan had court, and I got to spend the whole day caring for Elliot more or less alone. This is a surprisingly rare occurrence, and I was pretty excited to treat the boy to an outing with his dear old mum.
We kissed daddy goodbye in the morning, got breakfast and a bath. We set out for the Fort Sanders area. Logan called while we were on the road and told us his aunt was in the hospital, so we made a brief stop to check on her.
Then we went to Fort Kid!
Elliot climbed around the playground. He especially liked the slide. An elementary class was having their field trip there and Elliot enjoyed watching them.
Then we wandered over to World’s Fair Park to play in the fountain. I had brought Elliot a swim diaper and a change of clothes. What I had not brought was a change of clothes for me!
We stopped by the Sunsphere, where I learned that Elliot is a bit terrified by heights. He did not want to stand near the edge of the overlook by himself at all!
We found this structure in front of the convention center.
We stopped by the Chocolate factory on our way back to the car and got some cheesecake bites, which Elliot liked. We drove towards home but stopped at Wash Me Coin Laundry when we saw Slappy’s truck. Slappy joined us for some Mexican food! Then Elliot and I stopped off at Walmart to get my car worked on and pick up a few things. Elliot liked puching the cart and playing with the balls.
We got home at 2 and both went down for a nap for a couple of hours. All in all, a successful mother/son day!
