just us

I thought yesterday was going to be a rough day. Tobo was up most of the night and we were both tired. It turned out to be a really good day. Probably one of my favorite "just us" days so far.

Our day started at 6am because I didn't know what to do with him any more and he was up. We were up early enough that breakfast and whatnot were done by the time I remembered our local library does storytime for 0-2years on wednesdays. So we bundled up and headed out. Tobo had a good time, though he thought the big circle and square cushions were more interesting than the story. He liked pushing them around. This was fine because have the audience had the wiggles the rest were in strollers. It was the day at the zoo so lots of zoo stories broken up with singing and hand games. Apparently they have a second storytime in a different room for preschoolers at the same time. We stayed so long at the library that we got to see the beginning of the next hour and then headed home for lunch.

We went for a walk in the afternoon because it was nice (46 degrees or something like that). Tobo fell asleep 5 minutes into. We then played and banged around the house until we took a forced nap in the afternoon. (cried for 2 minutes and was a sleep) Somewhere around in there he took 5 more happy steps to me from the chair. It was really just heartwarming to see.

We ended the day with a nice bath and late bed time of 8pm. He was up once at 12am but slept the rest of the time. Baths are so sneaky.

Today will of course not be the same, (he's had a lot more sleep so is more resistant to naps) and we have a different schedule to keep, but its nice to have some very good days thrown in every once in a while.
