Evan the Better

Evan did better today. He still had the occasional bad moods, but he was much better.

Last night, Noah got up again around 5am. I don’t know why he’s been doing that.

This morning Alissa, Ben, and Molly came over for a little bit on their way to Houston. The kids enjoyed playing together. Even Noah looked like he fit in playing in the middle of the floor with all the kids.

Marilyn/Grandmom insisted on buying GeoTrax for Evan. We called around the whole city trying to find stores that still had GeoTrax stuff in stock. One of the Walmarts in the city said they had some GeoTrax stuff left. We went to Subway for lunch and then went over to Walmart. Marilyn bought a ton of GeoTrax for Evan. Evan was very happy.

We let Evan open one of the boxes when we got home, but saved the rest for after nap.

When Morry got home, Evan was napping and Morry set up the GeoTrax at that time. When Evan came downstairs and saw the tracks all set up he was so excited. In fact, he didn’t want to leave for dinner because he was busy playing.

We went to Benihana (hibachi style where they cook food in front of you). Matt joined us and we all drove together in our car. Both Evan and Noah did really well. Evan really liked watching the guy cook the food and light the big fires. I opened a pair of chopsticks for Evan and showed him how to use them. He was actually able to pick up 2 pieces of shrimp and eat them all on his own.
