Calum attends a concert

Calum has attended his first concert. Dakota was playing in her school concert this afternoon and Calum and I went down to watch. We got there a bit early and listened to the band warm up. Shortly afterwards, the kids filled the gym and it got pretty noisy. Calum did well, we lasted through the national anthem, a dance and Dakota's performance before he got pretty hungy and we decided to go. He was sucking on my shirt throughout the whole performance and was pretty quiet the whole time but I didn't want to push our luck. The only thing he seemed to dislike was the clapping - it was entirely too loud for him. However, he must have felt deprived of his milk because he has been nursing all afternoon and only now has gone down for a nap. I had to trick him a little by putting him in his swing to get him to go to sleep. He wakes up as soon as I put him down on the bed so it's the swing or a grumpy little guy.

I finally realized the date today. I have to go back to work in just over a week. Oh, I'm going to miss our care free days. I'm looking forward to getting back into things but wish I could do so with a certain little guy strapped to my back. It sure is fun spending time with him, even when you are more tired than you have ever been in your life. Today, Calum and I had fun playing silly little games. He is really starting to respond so we both have fun. He seems to like his stacking cups, a foam block, his turtle book and his panda book [with lots of nice colours]. We play with them endlessly because anything more at the moment seems like just a little too much.

Now that he's napping I'm going to take a quick look at my email. It's been awhile since I've read anything and a certain avid emailer [yes, Don] has filled my inbox with interesting bits and pieces.
