Downs
- I play for church tomorrow. Pre-Calvin era this usually meant I picked my music two weeks ahead of time and then practiced the week before several hours every night. Now, I have to pick my music at least a month ahead and practice for a couple of minutes at a time. This doesn’t produce the best results. In addition, I have to find someone to watch Calvin while I play. Usually this isn’t particularly hard to find available people but it means I have to call them and I hate using the phone. This week I only found someone to take care of him during Sabbath School so I’m going to show up tomorrow and hope for the best.
Ups
- The weather outside has been very nice the last couple of days which makes it much easier to keep Calvin entertained.
Calvin Moment
- Yesterday at the park Calvin met a 3-year-old boy that had a bucket. The boy was putting bark chips in the bucket and Calvin thought this was a great idea so he did the same. I was afraid that the 3-year-old would object to a baby playing with his toy but instead he seemed delighted and made a point of showing Calvin how to do useful things like dump the bucket of bark chips onto the slide. They had fun for quite a few minutes until Calvin decided it was time to wander off in search of more excitement.
