Downs

• I haven’t exercised in over a week. I was thinking about it this morning but I didn’t get to sleep soon enough last night.

Ups

• I had a lot of fun at the Megafest this last weekend. At the previous one, I felt like I spent most of it holding a crying Calvin. However, this time I took him to daycare during my normal working hours for two days and then got a babysitter for a couple of hours on another day. This allowed me to have time to do fun things with the other fest participants. Calvin was also much more self-sufficient this time.

Calvin Moment

• I put on a recording of Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons and Calvin liked it so much that he put down his bottle and started clapping. Periodically, as the strings became more passionate, he’d put down whatever snack he was working on and start clapping his hands again.

Simplification

• Didn’t get around to doing anything today.
