It looks Thursday and Friday are total washouts. They are predicting inches of rain here so it’s just as well that we stay home and let William play in warm baths.

We went to Shoneys for breakfast / brunch with Grandmomma and Poppa on Thursday. William got to sit in a high chair. I was startled to realize as I got ready to go that I could wear anything I wanted without worry about it catching on his cast. Yay! I’m sure I’ll have lots of these little mental readjustments. Diaper changes are a lot easier now, lol!

We ran by the grocery store after Shoneys then home to unload and see the Grands off. Waves and hugs. The kids and I relocated upstairs to the bonus room where they watched the Jungle Book and then took naps.

After nap, they enjoyed a warm bath playtime with some initial protests by William. He is sitting up better and will go to his tummy when he gets tired. I’m putting lotion on him whenever I think of it. His legs look normal now. The hotspot on his back looks better but has a slight bruised appearance. A few more days and it may be gone.

MaryVic had been asking for the teepee to be put up so we went downstairs after bath and I did it. I sat William on the floor while I worked on it with Mary’s help. As soon as it was up, he crawled over and sat in it. He does the same thing on land as water. He sits until he gets tired and then goes on his belly.

We had dinner eventually. Did another bath with soap this time. William protested getting in but did not want to get out! He did a little better sleeping overnight. Some fussing about every 2 hrs or so and then there were a few storms. The weather alarm went off at 3 a.m. with a severe thunderstorm warning. Some rumbles and MaryVic found me.

This morning I pulled out one of the walker toys we had in the garage and cleaned it up. William is enjoying it. He sat on it for about 20 minutes before I took him off it. He had propped a leg up on it and was about to slide off.

Hiding it the teepee. “Hide, hide, hide!” Crawling, scooting on his bottom while sitting up, and wiggling on his belly.

Maybe I’ll be brave enough to let them fingerpaint at the table later today…
