This weekend was highly productive in our household. I’m still patting myself on the back.
Saturday we spent the morning cleaning the house and then transitioned outside. Dave cut the grass and changed the battery in the Torrent, while Ajax pulled weeds and Noomi climbed on and off bike. Dave also took Ajax to Target where he picked out a pack of Halloween hotwheel cars, using his very own money he earned from chores. Noomi is now taking several steps unaided, but isn’t very steady or confident yet. Soon. It has to be soon, because once she starts walking I’m sure she’ll return to her wonderful sleep routine of actually sleeping through the night. It’s been at least a month now and both kids have had restless nights. Dave swears that I was up with Noomi last night at midnight, but I have absolutely no memory of this. Saturday night we had friends over for dinner, so the kids got to bed a little late.
On Sunday Ajax and I worked in the kitchen making applesauce and canning it. Ajax pulled up a chair to the sink and washed all the apples for me. He then helped me put them through the strainer. He was a great help. It turned out to be a very rainy and cool day, so we stayed indoors, worked in the kitchen and watched movies. It was lovely.
