Yesterday and today I boxed up all of the things on my desk. Every little toy and knick knack and do dad that I have. It has been a while since we switched seats, so I haven’t moved any of that stuff in a very, very long time. So, I picked up 4 boxes at Target and boxed up my stuff. It freaked people out. My cube is now filled only with my computers and pictures of the family and also implements for work like office supplies. I’m not sure if I will reintroduce all the toys or not. For now the boxes fit nicely under my desk.
I did take some of the toys home. I took my Thundercats toys home because Andrew and I have been watching the show and he might like to play with them. I also brought home my Marvel Tsum Tsums because Andrew likes those, too. Now he can enjoy them and add them to his collection.
Today was a nice day with Andrew. I took him to school and then went to the gym. From there I went back to shcool and played some Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild until it was time to go in to read to Andrew’s Class.
I read the class two books. The first was Different is Awesome by Ryan Haack and illustrated by my friend Wes Molebash. The kids liked that very much. The second book was Nanette’s Baguette by Mo Willems. The kids loved that story and they laughed like crazy. That book is a great one for laughter. Andrew said it was his favorite book.
We went to lunch at Bliss Bros. Dairy because I had a craving for clamcakes and chowder. Andrew was s so much fun at lunch. We are starting to have better conversations and he’s such a joy to take to a meal. He was funny and sweet. He impressed the waitress, too, with his speaking. She said to me that he spoke so well and then she asked him how old he was. He held up his hand. I looked at him and said, “She just said that you spoke well and then when she asked you a question you just help up your hand.” He pointed to his mouth. His mouth had been full and so he was actually being polite. Well, I’m glad he had the presence of mind to be polite in that moment.
We went to the playground right after that. Andrew played on his favorite things like the zipline and the swings. He took a couple of falls but got right back up to try it once again.
In my video I talk about the new Marvel Superheroes LEGO set that Brian and I built for an episode of Built from Bricks. The Hulk vs Hulk set is a great one. It is really fun to play with, too. You will see when the episode is released.
