Parental Leave Week 2
Aug. 8th, 2011 12:17 amThis week Rhys was at the Seattle Aquarium for camp, which is a bit more of a pain to get to since it's on the waterfront, there's tons of construction and congestion on all routes from West Seattle, and parking is crap. He enjoys it, but it doesn't run him around physically enough to keep him calm and centered in the evenings. Professor X has been doing pretty well, and a lot of our effort is being spent trying to find ways to keep the Rhyser sufficiently entertained.
We did a few errands this week, and I had some work fires to deal with remotely. We had our second doctor's appointment for Professor X, and he is back over his birth-weight and eating well. No worries there. I finally got up the gumpshun to work on some yard projects this week, mostly getting a start on mulching which needs to be done before it really gets to our 'hot' time--this summer has been rather overcast and cold for us unlike the rest of the country, but our wussy plants can't take the heat in any case.
Saturday we went to the Washington Renaissance Faire which the little one mostly slept through. We spent several hours there with a friend, and then headed home.
Sunday we went to a BBQ at a friend's place, which was a low-key social affair. There were some other kids around Rhys' age there, so he got some of his required little-people time in.
