Very good day with Peter
May. 16th, 2007 08:29 pmToday I basically had a "hang out with Peter" day. I know there won't be many of these left where he's my special only child and I wanted to savor the moment. Pre-school is out for the day due to parent-teacher conferences, and I convinced Jon to take him from 7-9 am. He slept through the night (my responsibility) so I had a very good sleep and a very good day.
I took Peter up to Garrod Farms to ride the pony. I've wanted to do this since he turned 2, but haven't made the time until today. We talked a lot for the past few days about what it's like to ride a pony and how to act around horses. He seemed very enthusiastic, so I was quite surprised when the pony was ready for him and he burst into tears.( Pony ride )
Eventually he relaxed enough to disentangle himself from my hair and hold on to the saddle horn. We started off and within a few minutes he was smiling like he was king of the world.
When we got home we showered and he took a good nap, and in the afternoon we went over to a friend's house to play. It's yet another play-date to be able to join that babysitting co-op, so in some sense I accomplished something today. Mostly I just had a good day with Peter.
