Another recovery day

Nico was sick again a few nights ago. Record breaking amount of illness in this house the past few months! I am making some changes in Nico's diet to help support his immune system, we'll see if it helps! He brought his garbage truck into the living room (he had just finished filling it with every one of his micro machines), and placed it next to the iPad so he could watch Shaun the Sheep while playing and drinking his soda.

Nothing special

Kind of a normal day. Went out for errands, and went to the fish park. We didn't actually go to the fish park, because Nico got distracted by a FedEx truck and he followed it to the real park, so we ended up playing on the equipment there.

Here is another pic of Nico with tiny cars. I think he might be wearing a new outfit from Grandma Russell.

Pocket Knife

Guy again.

It was good to have Nico back around the place.  I could hear his little stomping feet while I was sleeping this morning.

Joanna wanted to nap right after I got up, so Nico and I had the afternoon to ourselves.  We played with micro machines a little bit, then we went to Toy's R Us to play.  I've never taken him there before by myself, but I wanted to take him to a warm place where he could run around.

He had a lot of fun picking stuff up and putting it back.  Early on we found a kids travel suitcase which happened to have 4 wheels, so Nico took it down and pushed it around the store for most of the time.  We also saw some stuffed dogs, including one that barked and moved when you walked past.  Nico was fascinated.  We did have a little accident where Nico was putting trucks into a wagon and tried to push it, but it was too low and he ended up falling down and the wagon flipped up and bopped him in the mouth.  No lasting harm was done though.

Before we went on our excursion to Toy's R Us, Nico discovered he had pockets, so I let him have my pocket knife to put into them.  He's not quite got the hang of it yet, most of the time he ended up pulling his pants down.  Below is one of his more successful attempts.
