It’s been another fun, but very exhausting week. We celebrated Taliana’s Adoption Day, Tom’s birthday and Mike’s 70th!
On Wednesday, we celebrated Taliana’s actual Adoption Day with a brunch at Zachary’s and a little side trip to a nearby park. Poor Dylan fell asleep on the way to daycare, but woke up after only about an hour of napping!
Truncated naptimes are usually ok if we have some time to make up the shortfall the following day, but of course, this week, we were also celebrating Tom’s actual bday.
So, on Thursday evening, we did a joint Adoption Day/Birthday dinner at P.F. Chang’s in San Jose which meant another late night for little Dylan. He played alllllll day — first at Hanalee’s house in the morning with Paris and then (he skipped naptime) at daycare. He sacked out before HAT even arrived to carpool over to San Jose! He slept a little on the drive over (and didn’t know we were having yet another celebration, so when he woke up, he was sooo very happy to see Taliana and daddy — see picture), but that was not enough!
Dinner was leisurely. The night went late, Dylan slept late, and the next morning, we were up early again for another trip to the Children’s Discovery Museum. He was so TIRED, but still gamely enjoyed the visit!!
Saturday offered no rest catch-up. We were up early to make goodies — hummus, a pasta dish with tahini lemon sauce, sweet pea guacamole, and mexican hot chocolate cupcakes with chocolate ganache — for Grandpa Mike’s big 70th birthday bash.
The birthday bash was soo much fun, but it was also another late night! Luckily, Dylan fell asleep in the car immediately, but by then, it was already close to 10:30pm.
To wrap things up for the week, we awoke late this morning (8:30am) and hurried our way to readiness for a nice day trip to Gilroy Gardens with Cindy and the boys, and an old friend of mine from AOL and her 6-year old son.
Dylan is asleep as I type, but we’re about to wake him up so he doesn’t end up sleeping at 11pm tonight!
Hopefully, he’ll be able to recupe some sleep tonight and tomorrow morning.
As to new words this week, he’s got “juice” and “vacuum” down a bit clearer, “thanks,” “spoon” (sounds like “boon”), “cookie,” “cupcake,” “book,” and the cutest thing (in our eyes), are the nods accompanying the “yeah’s,” done whole-upper-body style….
