Lucas Camilo

Lucas had a great weekend, especially since his aunt Megan came to play.  Krista, Megan and Lucas got outside on Friday morning to bask in the sun in the front yard – Lucas was happy we found some shade but fairly unamused by the trees, focusing instead on teaching Megan the thumb-sucking technique he’s been perfecting over the last week.  The temperature dropped over the weekend back to cooler spring-like weather, and all four of us went out for a stroll around the neighborhood on Sunday (including a brief attempt at off-road strollering into Rock Creek Park, which needless to say got a little treacherous).

The fantastic musical and theater crew Bread and Puppet  was in town this weekend, so we took advantage of having nurses on Friday and Saturday evenings to get out to see their show, the “Dirt Cheap Money Circus.”  They opened with a scientist on stilts talking about the empirical evidence for why we should increase taxes on high income DC residents.  The skit was part of raising support for Save our Safety Net DC, an important campaign that Burke has been helping out with to challenge budget cuts for local social service programs.

Finally, Lucas’s cold had been lingering, so he hadn’t taken a bath in a few days.  This morning it was time, so Megan got to witness whale bath wiggles, and treated Lucas to a special massage afterward (and she’s a professional).  We try not to speak for Lucas too often, but today he definitely says “don’t leave, aunt Megan!”
