As I write
this little insert, Ryan’s grandparents are halfway across the Atlantic
ready to catch up with him & see how much he’s grown since Xmas when
they last saw him.
They clearly can’t handle the heat as
by the time they leave here it’s going to be dropping into the mid 50s
and there’s a slim chance of a hurricane edging by!
Anyway, moving on to things Booster.
The big news is he now sleeps in his bed - this has made his parents
very happy. Oh, don’t worry about my writing about it being a jinx,
Jessica did that already by posting on Facebook, which duly led to Ryan
refusing to go to sleep till Midnight last evening.... sigh. (At least I
could watch the Baseball!).
We removed his crib entirely on
Saturday and hoped he’d enjoy the additional space in his room, since
then he’s been great at keeping to his bedtime routine and going off to
sleep. When he wakes he even sits quietly in his bed waiting for us,
not sure he’s quite worked out he could just get down and play with his
toys, let’s hope that stays a secret for many more months!
Speaking of Baseball, we had the luck
to win freebie tickets to some of the Nationals games in September, they
won 1 and lost 1 of those games, but they were both good fun to be at,
and for once it wasn’t freezing cold or boiling hot. Sadly despite
having the best season record, the Nats fell at the first stage of the
playoffs with inexperience playing a large role..... next year they’ll
be back better than before and could be a force to be reckoned with for
many years to come.
We did our usual pumpkin picking
expedition a couple of weekends ago, Jessica managed to extort some cash
out of some Liberals (oh the irony!) by forcing them to go to Butlers
Orchard. It’s quite a big “festival” there, but you do pay a price!
Still, a good selection of pumpkins was available and Ryan enjoyed
seeing the pigs, sheep, goats & rabbits.
On Sunday we went back to Fairfax
Hospital as it was the memorial service for child loss, it was a well
attended event and quite respectful. We got a rose for Nathan and lit a
candle in his memory. Not sure if we will be looking to attend again,
but we’ll at least get an option to do so.
The next week will be a busy one for
sure, I think there’s a Zoo trip booked and I know a Japanese Steakhouse
will be on the agenda as well.
Till next time.
James, Jessica & Ryan
