Vacation

We didn't pack or haul anything today.  We went to two different parks in the morning, we had a picnic lunch, we all took afternoon naps, and we went out to dinner.  We did not go to the Haddon house to see what's happening.  It's almost a sort of vacation!  I feel better.

It's strange to think we won't be back in our house for a week.

Aaron has to be supervised very closely in this house because of stairs, electrical outlets, cat food, etc.  The good side is that we spend a lot more time than usual actively playing with him, and it's fun.  He's not only extremely cute but very sociable and attentive; he certainly understands most of what we're saying to him.  I say "Hey Aaron, time to put on your shoes," and he sits down and looks at his feet.  I am teaching him how to go down stairs (backwards) and he learned in about three minutes, although he still wants to go facing forward.  That would be face-planting forward... so we don't encourage it.  Now if he would just sleep past 5:30am, my affection would be unmixed.
