3 years old. Zakiah is with us today through Wed. Here, he had taken the material from the arm rest and put it on his head, and holding 2 balloons, was ready to jump off the chair.
I was going to write today’s highlights, but I think I am too tired to think of anything clever. He talks absolutely non-stop. The only times he “played” without talking to me was a little bit with a plane made out of lego’s; outside in the yard with two sticks; and when he found the santour (or whatever it is) of AL’s and was banging on it with a wooden stick player. We also did bubbles in the yard.
One close call was when he stuck his finger into a fire ant hill, and Grandpa swooped him up immediately before thousands of them came zooming out and swarmed the top of the hill looking for the invader. They are FIERCE and their bites hurt and swell. Zakiah has avoided that area ever since watching all those ants come swarming out of there.
We unpacked his suitcase and found his gummy vitamins all melted together into a blob. He took a shower quite well, once he got in there, then we read 2 books, he gathered his stuffed animals around him, and laid down. In one book, we read a prayer, so that was done as well. We made a rather comfortable spot for him on the floor, with a rug, 2 sleeping bags, 2 pillows and his purple blanket. I also gave him a small kitty cat blanket.
