UT

We had an appointment at the University of Texas at 11:00am for a baby psychology study. They called me a few days ago to see if I could bring Noah in. They are doing a study on how infants understand numbers. There was a screen Noah had to look at and they showed different numbers of objects to him. The whole thing maybe lasted 15 minutes. They don’t pay anything, but they gave us a little baby cup with Bevo (the longhorn) on it. While I was in the room with Noah a student played with Evan. They had a ton of toys in the lobby. Evan and Noah didn’t want to leave.

When we got home I went for a 3 mile run with the boys and Lizzy. When we got home Rita and Blanca were outside with a big black dog. They were trying to figure out whose dog it was. The dog was very friendly and played with Lizzy in the front yard. The dog did not have any tags on it. Rita couldn’t put the dog in her yard because her other dogs wouldn’t get along with him. I said she could put the dog in our yard, as long as she tried to find the owners. I needed to get inside and feed Evan and Noah. Lizzy and the dog played for a while in the backyard. At some point in the afternoon I looked out in the yard and the dog was gone. I’m hoping that means they found the owner.

Evan and Noah took good naps.

For dinner we had bbq ribs and French bread.

After dinner we took a walk around the neighborhood and Evan walked the whole time. He even helped hold Lizzy’s leash some of the way.

The boys are in bed now. Noah is still talking.
