Travis is feeling much better today. It’s amazing the difference a few hours makes. He wasn’t happy this morning when we put him in his clothes. Ever since, though, he’s been pretty bubbly, considering his injury.
We went to the airport after breakfast to look at the planes. It was looking like a warm day but by the time we got out there the wind made things pretty chilly. Travis had a good time on my knee, watching the occasional plane take off or land. Kelly and Hallie raced down the kiddie runways though they never could gain enough speed to leave the ground. After some fun there, we stopped by Goodberrys on the way back to pick up an after-lunch snack.
Lunchtime was a big turning point in Travis’s mood. He kept screeching “DADDY!” with pure delight – one of the first times he’s really called my name (though Kelly says not to be disappointed if he calls the cat Daddy as she’s seen him do). We all had a fun lunch, if not totally filling for the kids, and then proceeded to afternoon naps.
Kelly read Hallie her stories while I did Travis’s naptime. He was close to an hour beyond his normal naptime but didn’t show any signs of stopping. He chattered on my lap for close to an hour! It was fantastic seeing him so happy, but naptimes are for napping! When I finally put him in his crib he wailed more from boredom than pain.
He’s still snoozing now as I write this. Kelly took Hallie out to the fabric store. When they return, we’ll grill up some hamburgers and enjoy the rest of this beautiful Saturday.
