Downs

• Don’t really have any to list today.

Ups

• Calvin definitely has figured out how to eat cheerios and loves them. He still can’t feed himself but he sticks out his tongue hopefully whenever he wants another. However, he did boycott his normal pureed food.
• I had a chance to exercise this morning. I didn’t get a huge amount of sleep last night so I originally thought I might take a nap instead. However, I was feeling perky enough by Calvin’s nap time so I decided to go ahead and exercise.
• We had baked potato and tofu for supper which is a relative easy meal to put together so I didn’t have to rush around too much before picking Calvin up from daycare.

Cute Calvin Moment

• Today Calvin learned he can play the piano. Calvin was crawling around on the floor and came to the piano bench. He pulled himself up and then tentatively touched one of the white keys. It made a noise. He looked at it carefully and then tried again and seemed surprised when it made more noise. Then he got a big grin on his face and started enthusiastically banging with one hand while holding onto the bench with his other. I got a couple of photos and perhaps managed to get several seconds of video. However, Calvin loves cameras so whenever he sees one, he stops whatever he is doing and crawls over to investigate the contraption.

Simplification

• I got rid of a box of toiletries under the bathroom sink that were starting to look a little scary.
