Ups

• I’ve now walked to daycare 5 days in a row. This includes the day I discovered I had a flat stroller tire and had to change it before I could leave.
• Even though I had to put Calvin to sleep tonight, since Jaeger was gone, he stopped crying within 10 min. I don’t remember the last time that happened.
• I have a couple books from the library that look like they’ll be interesting to read.

Calvin Moment

• Calvin is starting to request specific books by attempting to say either their title or the most memorable element. For instance, tonight he first requested Sheep in a Jeep by pointing and saying, “baaa!” which he followed with “boom! boom!” for Chicka Chicka ABC. He also is enthusiastically saying “Moo,” “baa,” and “neigh” at the correct times for Moo, Baa, La La La!. It makes a librarian’s heart proud

Simplification

• Yesterday I spent a significant amount of time in Calvin’s room packing away his 12 month clothing and cleaning up all the small blankets and things we no longer use.
