I figured that he had used up his good behavior for the day, but the streak continued. He didn't go to sleep for about half an hour after I put him down for a nap, but spent that entire time talking happily to himself. Then he and I went to Panera for dinner because Joe is in Philly and Nicholas happily looked around and entertained himself while I ate. And then just talked to himself until he fell asleep when I put him down for the night. Angelic, I tell you.
I wanted to get him a treat for being so good, but since he can't eat treats, I have a fun-filled week planned for him instead. Okay, I was going to do all of this anyway because Joe is working all week to finish a chapter and I figured Nicholas and I needed to keep ourselves busy. But still. There is so much stuff going on that I have a list on the fridge so I don't forget all the times. We have something each morning, then afternoons are naps, so I figure we're covered.
Nicholas' Busy Week:
Saturday: grocery shopping (but not just any grocery shopping--Wegmans in the Baby Bjorn so he can "help") and then hopefully working on birthday presents for his grandmothers
Sunday: church
Monday: baby story/music at the library, then playing with Steph while I have lunch with Uncle Andrew
Tuesday: B&O Museum
Wednesday: Aquarium (with music again)
Thursday: Playing with Ellen
Friday: probably music at the mall, unless the weather improves and we can go outside
Saturday: Some all-day outing, with Daddy because his chapter will be done.
I'm excited!
There's something, I don't know, maybe post-modern about coming home from a daytrip for work, and, instead of talking with your wife about her day with your son, being referred instead to the blog.
