Day Two: Mondayft

We have had a lovely day on the beach. We were on the beach before 9am, and Leo loved playing with all his sand toys. I went a little overboard with a CVS gift card that I had, and we have TONS of beach toys. It was like Christmas morning today when he opened all of them. Henry came down to the beach for a few minutes, but then he was ready for a nap, so his time on the sand was very brief. Leo wants to be at the beach or in the pool every chance he gets, so he was only in the room for meals and a quick nap. Todd's getting him ready for bed right now, and I bet he will sleep very soundly.

The bites on his legs are looking much better - he had two more nasty ones pop up after we had started the medicine. I read in the paper that Dallas has 3 different types of mosquitoes buzzing around this year since all the rain, and I'm wondering if he has some sort of allergy to one of those types. But, anyway, the medicine is keeping them from getting so big, and he isn't gagging anymore when he takes it, so life is good.

There are lots of people here, and Leo likes meeting other kids and watching older kids play and roughhouse. He played with a little girl this morning, and we'll see who else appears throughout the week.

Leo is enjoying going to the beach and pool with Brooksie and Papa, and it's so nice to have grandparents here so we can tag-team on staying with the two boys. Todd and I were able to go for a walk by ourselves on the beach tonight, and that was really pleasant. Although it is hot in the afternoons, overall the weather is very pleasant.
