Calum has finally learned to whistle. When we see a dog, I've been trying to teach him the ASL sign for "dog" but have added the whistle too. On Saturday, Calum and I were helping Dakota deliver her papers. We saw a dog statue in a garden and Calum patted his leg and whistled! The sure pick things up.
Calum also thinks that every horn beep is Dad coming home from work. When Don gets home he sets the car alarm with a beep. Calum hears the horn and stops whatever he is doing to say "Dad". Sometimes he runs to the window or the door. I have to show him if it's someone else on the street or he will continue looking for his daddy.
We should get the keys to our new place tomorrow so we will go in to take a closer look and start taking measurements for the blinds, rugs, etc. It's always a challenge to see where you stuff will fit. We didn't do much packing on the weekend - we were pretty tired. On Friday, I took Calum downtown with me to do some banking and to drop off some work. We went to meet Don at his meeting but it was running a bit behind so we walked around my old neighborhood - Denman Street. We stopped for a cupcake at the cupcake store, went down to the beach to splash about and did some sightseeing. He loved it but was exhausted by the end.
Don has the day off tomorrow. He has to take Dakota to the doctor to get the results of her bone scan. She hasn't complained about her foot recently so hopefully it's healing or healed. It's hard to judge just how bad it is for her because Dakota tends to complain about the little injuries but not complain about the bigger ones. We'll see tomorrow I guess.
