Thursday, June 29th, 2006Ahh, nothing like bloggin’ while sitting outside on a nice summer morning. Oskar is playing in the dirt in his pajamas and a hat (he asked to wear one). He is talking so much more now and we can understand most of what he is saying. It’s mostly about “b-ball”, “wawa”, “moma”, “dad”, and “sha-sha” (his way of saying “Lola”) but it’s fun to hear what he has to say and what he’s thinking about. Speech is good for the obvious reasons of communication but I’ve always wanted to know what is going on in his head; what he’s thinking about, how he feels about something. It’s exciting to finally begin to find these things out.
We went out on Rose’s parents sailboat this last Sunday with Oskar. He had been on a boat before but this was the first time he could really experience it, climb around and walk around the deck. We have some great pictures that we’ll put up on Flickr later. We sailed this time from the Tacoma Yacht Club over to Gig Harbor, stayed there for a few hours while we had some snacks, Rose and I got to kayak around the harbor, had dinner then sailed back. The wind going over was strong and we were leaned way over for a little part of it. I would have been scared if Gerry wasn’t sailing but it was pretty far over. Once we were anchored in the harbor Oskar got to run around the deck, pose for pictures and climb all over. The next day when Jody was watching him she taught him some parts of the boat. He really likes to say “boom”, “bow”, and “mast”.
We leave for San Diego early Monday morning. We’ll be there through Saturday and be back late that night. The hope was to get an early flight so Oskar might go back to sleep and then get a late flight coming home so he can fall asleep on the way back. We’re a little apprehensive about flying with him, especially since he’ll be sitting in one of our laps. My “Be Prepared” dad book said to get the other passengers to help entertain the little guy so we’ll see how that works. I’m going to be busy for some of the time but we should have an opportunity to go to SeaWorld, the San Diego Zoo (maybe Legoland!) or just hang out at the pool. Like when I was in Orlando, HP will be footing the bill so we won’t want for food or drinks. We’ll take pictures and post them to Flickr too either while we’re there or when we get back. Now that I’m on break I have more free time but I just can’t bring myself to do more online stuff like bloggin’, postin’ or that sort of thing. I’d rather spend time with my family but I’ll try to maintain a somewhat updated view into our real lives.
