After last weekend's struggles, I wasn't sure what to expect for our latest visit. It turned out to be really good. Friday night we went to see Common at the Tastefest, and our evening ended pretty badly. We left without eating anything and after seeing only a couple of songs. He had to go to bed as soon as we got home (he didn't want anything to eat), and he hates everybody and everything, but still wanted me to hang out with him in bed.
I have been laying down with him after lights out, usually 'til he falls asleep. I'm not sure if this is gonna turn out to be setting us up for bad times ahead, 'cause of course I won't always be able to do that. For now, though, it is a nice time to chat and cuddle.
Saturday night, our friends came over for dinner, swimming, and sparklers. We had a lot of fun and he was really good for the most part. He is so nice to babies, and hung out with baby Charlie for quite a while. He also was using his mask and snorkle to go underwater which he has been a bit hesitant to do too much.
Sunday, he slept in until 12:30! And we had a wonderful day. Very happy and fun and silly and cuddly. He ran around all day with a towel tied around his neck making him Super D. I guess he needed to catch up on his sleep. Another good thing was him taking Miles outside when he got obnoxious. I told D I was sooo proud of him for doing that instead of hitting or kicking the poor dog. Hug hug what a great choice. Later, when they were playing with a toy, Miles bit him, and he picked up a magazine and started to give him a whack. But, he stopped and said, "No! I'm not gonna hit you, I'm gonna put you outside!" Woohooo for positive reinforcement.
