Shopping & swimming
Got the Little Fayoumis dressed at eleven. Asked him to get dressed in five minutes. He got dressed in eleven minutes, which is a good start, because it normally takes him twenty to an hour. Told him that the specific purpose of him getting dressed fast now was so that he would not have to get dressed fast later with me yelling at him to get dressed when it was time for us to go out shopping. Had to remind him several times through the process, and help with the belt, but it was altogether speedy and nice.
Went out shopping around one-ish. Reminded the Little Fayoumis about how he'd gotten dressed earlier when I asked him to, so now that it was time to leave, I didn't have to wait for him to get dressed, and we were already all ready to go.
Caught the Red Line to Metro. There was a lady on the bus who looked a little like![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
soju, and she was talking about liberation through truth, and enlightenment through knowledge. We walked to Petsmart to get Ick medicine for Storm Blossom, Water Blossom, Preggo, and Spiderman. Quizzed Little Fayoumis on days of the week and directions. Talked about north and south and east and west and which way we were walking. Talked about how something that's right for one person isn't always right for another person with the example of shoes: how my shoes would be wrong for him because they would be too big for him and fall off, and how his shoes would be wrong for me because they would be too small, but how my shoes are right for me because they fit me, and his shoes are right for him because they fit him. Looked at fish. Looked at cats. Looked at cat climbing toys. Looked at lizards and turtles. Got ick meds.
Walked to Trader Joe's. Got interesting stuff, heavy on the chocolate. Yum chocolate. Got orange sticks and chocolate covered espresso beans and regular espresso beans forvotania and some brandy beans for me, and some mint-chocolate UFO chips. Mmm yum.
Took the Red Line home. Have been reading signs and labels to Little Fayoumis, and helping him spot signs. He pointed to the Trader Joe's sign because it started with a T, and ended with an R, and the next word started with a J.
Little Fayoumis had wanted to go swimming before we set out, so after we got home and did some ritual, we changed into our swimming gear and headed for the pool. My hair's long enough to braid now. He's going to need new swimming trunks by summer. He hasn't pool shoes either, so we're going to stop by the dollar store and get some nice durable cheap-as-hell sandals. Meanwhile, I carried him.
The big pool was too cold for either of us to spend long in, so we went into the hot tub, which was a little chilly as well. We splashed around and had a lot of fun with the yellow nerf noodle things.yaksha42 waved at us on his way to work. When the Little Fay started shivering, we packed up and came back in. He got a little argumentative, but I was having none of that. He's in a warm bath now, cleaning off the chlorine and warming up. Having splasheriffic fun, too, from the sounds.
Next: Laundry, vacuuming, dinner construction, a trip to the dollar store maybe, cat-box cleaning, and fun things like that.
Yep, the Loony's back up and running.
