Parties and time

This is Levi jamming it up at a party for one of his school friends.  Actually, I really should go back.  It was a great weekend.  Hot and humid and they are promising more days like it even though it is Autumn on Tuesday.  Saturday was busy but in a fairly productive way.  I mowed, Levi played at Ty's for a bit to give me a chance to do the mowing.  We played Sequence over and over.  Levi learned sight words and I started to worry less that he would ever get to reading.  I'm not truly worried but he has been set against even trying.  Probably some failure in me again.  Nah, I think he is just happier about maths. 

Then we had one of those Sundays.  Swimming at 7.30, Andy's party ( 1 year old ) at 8.30 - 12, Grocery shopping and then another party at 3.  It was a disco party.  Levi clung to my leg for about 20 minutes and then he went and joined the rest of the revelers.  He is still very shy with new activities.  At one point the girls were all dancing and the boys were all running around like mad things trying to beat each other up.  I stopped Levi at one stage just telling him to calm down a little.  This set him back about 20 minutes again.  He cried for about 5 minutes and wouldn't leave my side again for the other 15 minutes.  So between the 20 minutes that it took him to warm up and the 20 minutes that he had in the middle, he had about an hour to actually have fun.  But fun he did have.  That and I finally got Levi to bed on time on a Sunday.
