It's been hard though now that Sarah and Mary Grace are in Kentucky. And even harder now that Amy just had baby Alek. Carter needs friends because it's harder for me to give him all my attention and play with him when I often have to do something for Rylan. And it's still so hot so I don't like having Rylan out in the heat for too long. I can't wait for it to cool off a little so we can do things like go to the zoo again.
But I've been doing what I can. Here's a list of our outings / playdates the last week:
- Wednesday - Baby Bookworms at the library
- Thursday - Played in the driveway with water toys for a couple of hours
- Friday - Playdate at neighbors house with seven other kids
- Saturday - Creative Discovery Museum
- Sunday - Pool before bed
- Monday - Nothing :(
- Tuesday - Playdate with Mary Grace (Sarah and Mary Grace were in town for a couple days)
Carter did really well at the neighborhood playdate last Friday. I had never met any of the other moms before, but everyone was nice and easy to talk to. Carter wasn't shy but also behaved (no taking away toys from other kids or screaming or hitting because something got taken from him). Hopefully some of us will get together again.
Sunday was the first time I'd been to the pool since Rylan was born. It was so nice! I've missed going so much. Carter and I were going 3 or 4 times a week when I was pregnant. I think Brian took Carter twice right after Rylan was born, but he hadn't been in at least a month. I was worried that Carter may have forgotten what he'd learned so far this summer, but he hadn't. He wasn't scared of anything and had lots of fun. Rylan slept in his carseat in the shade with a fan on him so I was able to hang out in the pool with Brian and Carter the whole time we were there (about 45 minutes).
