Time away and Kix
Colleen watched Simon from Thursday to Sunday so Alan and I could have some time away. It was amazing trip for us with lots of relaxing and reading by fireplaces, some board games and even rock climbing! We for the most part had our phones away or off and ignored everything that wasn't a Simon update - which we got daily from Colleen. Thank you again, Colleen, for giving us such a wonderful weekend!
Simon and Colleen had a great weekend together. He was really well behaved for her the whole weekend. They ate spagetti squash, played in the park, read lots of books and generally had a great time.

Around the World
For the past couple of days Simon and I have pretended to be robots, and walking/dancing around the kitchen to some appropriate dancing robot music. I finally managed to catch a few seconds of video of him doing that this afternoon.

Time Change and Out to Dinner
With the time change on Sunday the 17th Alan and I planed not to adjust Simon so that instead of going to bed at 5 and waking at 6ish, Simon would go to bed at 6 and wake up at 7ish. He wouldn't change, just the world around him would -- PERFECT PLAN!
Sadly, it didn't work that way. In the 1 week we tried it Simon just kept on waking up right at 6ish as though he had an alarm clock set. But he was going to bed later so had one hour less of sleep. We definitely noticed an attitude shift and after 7 full days we decided to switch him back to the 5pm bed time. Last night he passed out at 5 with a greatful sigh... And woke at 6 again on the dot.
In that one week of later bedtime we at least managed to go out to a family dinner. (One of the reasons we wanted the later time was to do family things like that.) I was working from the coffee shop so picked up Simon at 4 and we met Alan at the Wellington train stop for burgers at DMK. Simon and I were about 15 minutes early, so we waited on the platform and just watched all the trains go by. What a happy kid. I didn't manage to get his excited oooh! face but you can see how focused he is on the tracks. When it isn't cold and rainy I'm going to take him to the platform and we can watch trains until he gets sick of it. (This video was taking about 10 minutes into our waiting for Alan. If possible he was more excited every time a train went by.)
In DMK Simon ditched the tomato and lettuce and most of the bun but inhaled his burger. We decided it was time for him to try onion rings and they were a huge hit. You can see him begging for more in the next video. He got a grown up sized burger and still managed to find room to shove (literally) those onion rings in. He is right - they are the best darn fried onions around.
