Graham woke up from his morning nap extremely listless and with a 101.6 fever. He spent the entire afternoon resting/napping in our bed, with Marlon on guard. I finally gave him tylenol around 4:30 and by 5, he seemed up for a trip to pick up sick food (apple juice, etc.). We went to Trader Joe's, where he suddenly was 100% fine. After not eating since breakfast, Graham sucked down 2.5 packets of applesauce and a cheese stick in line. I think his canines are rearing their ugly heads.

Graham took his first tire swing ride this morning with a playground friend. Later in the day, we did some weeding at our community garden. Graham helped by taking the weeds and putting them in the weed bucket. He can follow simple directions--"Come to Mama and take the plant. Now put the plant in the bucket."

Graham loves opening and closing doors right now.

Playgroup was a reading group today.

This week, I've dropped Graham's after-nap nurses, bringing us down to 2 nurses per day. Graham isn't very pleased about the change, but is managing with a lot of snuggling, snacks, and out-of-the-house playtime. It's a pretty sad change for me, too, but I think it's time for us to start tapering, even though that means I don't have a baby anymore. Sob.

Graham spent more time scribbling than eating chalk today! He also called "Mamamamamama" when he woke up in the morning--I think he's getting "Mama" down.
