Rylan was obsessed with this slide. It was cool except for the fact that he was also obsessed with the deep rung arch ladder that I had to help him up every time so that he could get back to the slide. He kept going back to the ladder but luckily I noticed him on it every time before he could fall.
These two blondes are so similar in size and build - they are too cute together ...
After our playdate, I took Rylan on a run (more of a jog with the occasional walk break). I got in 10 miles though. Hurting my back set me back quite a bit but I'm still hoping to run the marathon at the end of April (though I no longer have any time goal - I just want to finish).
Today the boys and I met Kelly and Charlie at the zoo. I have never seen the zoo so crowded before. Our county doesn't have spring break for a couple more weeks but I guess the other surrounding counties must have it this week. Plus it was super warm again today (mid-80s).
Kelly got stuck in traffic so the boys and I played on the mats in the Jungle Gym until they got there. Carter had a blast jumping and having me take his picture ...
Then Carter worked on doing somersaults. He's never done one at gymnastics though they do several of them on inclined mats during every class. He always waits for a coach to come over and help him. Well, he finally mastered them today. He even was doing them tonight at home on the carpet. Yeah!
After playing at the playground we checked out the animals. Charlie took a ride with Rylan for awhile ...
Rylan fell asleep around 11:45 am in his stroller and Charlie could barely keep his eyes open so we headed out.
After naps and going to the grocery store, I went upstairs to discover that our air conditioning was again not working. We first started it up at the beginning of last week. I discovered on last Tuesday afternoon that the upstairs was hot - in the low 80s and that the vents were blowing air the same temperature as the intake. Our a/c is under warranty for a year so I called the company that installed it on Wednesday morning. A technician came out in the afternoon. He said that since the unit was installed in winter, it was never charged up. So he added freon and it appeared to be working.
However on Sunday afternoon, the upstairs was hot again. Luckily our big weekend project (other than watching basketball - Go Pack!) was installing 4 ceiling fans so the bedrooms were much cooler than on Tuesday. Another technician came out on Monday afternoon and this time found a leaking valve. He replaced it and recharged the unit with freon.
We thought all was good until the unit stopped producing cold air again this afternoon. I'll be calling again in the morning to get a technician out here again tomorrow. Hopefully they will solve it this time! Even with the ceiling fans, it's warm at night.
On the subject of sleeping, Carter is still doing great with the front of his crib off. I've heard him get out a couple of times to get a toy but get right back into bed. He's always in there when I get him in the morning or after nap. And Rylan will finally let me put a blanket on him when he goes to sleep (not that he needs it right now). He also always has to sleep with with his hands between his crib bumper and the mattress. He usually scoots all the way up in this crib so his head is jammed up against the bumper and he can reach both hands up over his head. Both boys have been sleeping great lately since they've been healthier. However Rylan has had a random cough and runny nose for 3 or 4 weeks now - I'm thinking it may be allergies?
