Call Day #121, 7/10/15

\

Oliver has been loving puzzles lately. He does them daily and has gotten really good at them in the past few weeks.

He's often said "Just Mommy and Oliver" during the last few days. Eleanor and Claire have been gone all week for Bible School with Nanny and Papa.

Check out the Duke shirt!

Learning to play on Daddy's phone.

Since Erik was in lab during the day before working tonight, we were able to meet him for lunch as he headed to the hospital.

We met at a different Chick-Fil-A so Oliver got to enjoy a new play place. After a while he followed some bigger kids up to the top and couldn't get back down by himself. Resisted kind offers of help from other kids. I climbed up and helped him down.

We stopped by Nanny and Papa's house to water the flowers. He has quite enjoyed doing this each day this week.

Eleanor staged a party for her friends from across the street who came over for a little while. She hosed off the porch floor and table first (unprompted help!)and put out watermelon and ice water.

Afterwards a big tent was built in the playroom. Perfect for lying down in while listening to bedtime stories.
