Don't Drink The Water

The good news....Patrick took a record breaking 2.5 hour nap this morning. The bad news...he was tired because he got up at 5:45am. Patrick used to regularly sleep until 7 or 7:30, now he is on a new schedule where he is up by 6. He just isn't getting enough sleep, I think it is because the sun shines through the window bright and early and the rental we're in just has blinds and a thin curtain. Tomorrow I might stop by the fabric store to try to find some sort of light blocking fabric so he sleeps a little longer.

This afternoon we went to a neat little park in Sunnyvale that has a water playground for kids. One of Patrick's playgroup buddies turned one today so we were there for a special (wet!) birthday playdate. Patrick seemed to enjoy the water as long as it wasn't spraying too fast. Sadly, I could not figure out how to make the water controls work but all of the kids there seemed to have figured it out.



After a busy playdate at the park we had dinner with my Mom and Mike. Patrick tried to help my Mom unload the dishwasher. Does crawling in and standing on the door help?
