260. Family Dinner

William fell asleep in the mall, and slept in the car. When he got home, he was a bit groggy. He likes to go up and down stairs, but requires supervision, of course. He really likes the train his mother gave him, be schlepps that up the stairs with him too. He can go from the basement to the second floor at Gigi's with minimal assistance. He mostly wants reassurance.

We had a lovely (to me) family dinner around the table, with William in his new booster seat. Natasia and Robyn flag after a while, but it was a nice dinner I thought. There was a recent article in the Times about the importance of family meals together at one table, no TV. I like it.

I went to bed early, and William eventually came with Diana. He was not asleep, but Diana laid him down between us and he was quickly asleep. He's so excited by these girls, but he's also very tired. He soaks up as much as he can. He slept from midnight to 9, without waking up. Some good sleep for us.

Virginia is driving Aida to the Bronx and Robyn and William went along for the ride. Diana is doing laundry. I'm going to continue to read my bio of Freud and look forward to William's return.
