Now for a recap of what we did last week

We went to the Discovery Centre in Halifax, to Peggy’s Cove and walked around the rocks

and saw John Beale's wonderful whacky show Peggy

out to dinner at the amazing restaurant Rhubarb; to the Buskers on the waterfront and met Elvis (he would move and gyrate only when someone put coins in his cup)

hung out at the great children’s bookstore in Halifax, Woozles; for paddleboat rides around my lake

to Lewis Lake for hikes in the woods and had delicious meals on my new deck.

Damian loved Lila. He loved throwing the ball for her, kicking the soccer ball, throwing sticks in the water for her to swim after. He was good with her (sometime over-the-top) enthusiasms. There were times when she was too much, jumped on him, but seconds later he was playing with her again. He knew she was not aggressive. Just not yet completely in control of herself.

Damian also loves pushing the buttons on elevators. On Tuesday I took him to school with me when I had to see my independent studies student for our final meeting. In the elevator to the parking lot, another woman was in the elevator car and, seeing how much he enjoyed pushing the button, she asked him to push the button for her floor. He was delighted. As she was leaving the elevator she said to me, “I have a twenty year old daughter who still likes to push the buttons!”

So now they are gone, it's quiet here and I have to push the buttons for myself.
