Month: May 2013

Nat got into the big tub without protest tonight.  He was OK being solo.  As the embarrassing (for him) picture below demonstrates.  He let daddy wash him down and had fun playing with his toys.

He was actually really fun to be with all day.  I wonder if the recent spate of grumpies were the side-effects of the lingering cold we’ve all been having.  I hope this weekend is a good one as I’d like to get out and have a nice family outing on Saturday.

This post is friends-locked for baby privacy. 

So the sun finally came out for a bit yesterday. It made a nice change from the unremitting cool and windy weather we’ve been having.  And it activated the bugs in the yard in a big way.  I’m going to have to put the mosquito repellent near the back door so we can all spray down if we’re going to be staying outside.

Also, I have a bathtub full of tiny plants!  Out master bath tub is infrequently used and is right under the skylight, so it’s a great place to germinate seedlings.  (And it IS a garden tub.)  My plan is to get our second vemiculture planter finished this weekend and transplant the little seedlings into it, leaving some room in the top for possible future additions from the farmer’s market.

Nat’s ear is improving slowly.  He’s still a little congested with whatever funk we’ve been passing around the house, but he’s not overly oppressed by it so we’re watching and treating it symptomatically as needed.
