Gotcha!

Today the weather was clear and not too windy so we headed over to Klemgard Park for a hike. It was quite chilly but is was nice to get outside after spending the morning inhaling vinyl fumes. The glue from the floor didn't stink a bit but the floor itself is rather stinking. We have one wall of beadboard up and a coat of paint on it. Next Oli has the most difficult wall to get up, the one with pipes, and light switches, and cabinets. Then I will have a good bit of painting to do, 2-3 coats on the beadboard, the trim and the cabinets.
Today Layden was playing with the toy that has different shapes that you push through correspondingly shaped holes. He managed to push four of them through the correct hole, the first one all onhis own without coaching. That boy is smart enough to keep us quite busy. He is also saying gotcha now. If you chase him around and then grab him and say "gotcha" he will repeatedly make a noise that is reasonably close to "gotcha!".
Joy has been having fun with Layden, he never ceases to impress. She was a big help keeping him out of our hair and the glue while we put the floor down. It is looking like she will continue to have good weather for her drive home tomorrow afternoon.
