Adventures of Nakey Boy


Budding young nudist? Perhaps. Today Layden was running around in his diaper and twice he managed to get the thing off. The second time he also discovered that he could use his highchair as a sort of walker, allowing him to move about the kitchen standing up. He also peed on the tile and looked down as if to say "This is not what usually happens. Why is it on my foot? What is it? What do I do now?"
He still has to have a good cry whenever he falls but he doesn't let that slow him down. He picks himself up, dusts himself off (figuratively) and climbs bakc on that horse, crying and whimpering most pathetically all the while.
Layden has also discovered Cheerios, or to be more exact, Honey Nut Toasty O's. While we eat our meal we place some cheerios on his tray. He picks them up one by one, closely examines them and then puts them in his mouth. That or flails about knocking them all on the floor. Strange child, non-food items are not half as well inspected before he pops them in. I doubt he even looks at the morsels of grout he digs out. Apparently he and his daddy had a good time last night while I was off walking eating cheerios. Though Layden was not entirely sure he was OK with daddy eating his cheerios.
I have started walking in the evenings with one of Oli's co-workers, Linda. It went well, we went all the way to the other end of colfax and back in an hour. It took about 15 min to make it to the grocery store from her house. It is a bit farther from our house but maybe when things settle down (if they ever do) and I have more free time Layden and I will take walks to the grocery store.
