At 7:10 this morning, Rachel woke me up to tell me that Evan was crying. I went in to see Evan and he said he needed a diaper change. I don't know why he was crying. I put him down and told him to go back to sleep, but I don't think he went back to sleep. He sat at his gate quietly for awhile. At 8:30 I got up and got the boys dressed and we came downstairs, allowing Rachel to sleep.
When we came downstairs, Evan asked for applesauce for breakfast. I made a waffle for Noah who ate his up quickly. Evan also ate grapes. In case you didn't know, Evan likes fruit. I put the movie Robots on for the boys and they both watched very well.
Grandmom/Marilyn came down between 9:30 and 10am and played with the boys some before Rachel got up.
When everyone was up and ready, we went over to Barnes & Noble - just to get out of the house. I was surprised that they were open. When we got to the shopping center, Old Navy and Mighty Fine Burgers were also open. Also, HEB and Walgreens were open. I thought it was Easter. But hey, I'd rather everything be open.
At Barnes & Noble, the boys played with the trains for a bit. Evan got really cranky and stopped allowing Noah to play with the trains. We warned him that if he continued to act like that, we were going to go home. Well, he continued to act like that and we went home.
We had leftovers for lunch and put the boys down for naps.
Noah did not sleep for very long. He kept waking up crying. Finally, we brought him downstairs. Evan got up a little while later. We went outside and played with chalk. We put Noah in the walker and he walked a bit in that.
For dinner we went to the Mongolian Barbecue in downtown Austin. It's a tradition we started with Grandmom/Marilyn back in 2002. We've gone almost every Easter there. We did miss it last year because Noah was born. We let Evan make his own. We walked through all the veggies and he told me what he wanted in his plate. Then we added some noodles and some sauce and I gave Evan the bowl to give to the guy to cook it. Evan enjoyed watching the guy cook the food. He ate very well. I think "making" the food made it more appealing to Evan. Also, there was a mirror behind the booth where Evan was sitting. He'd put food in his mouth and stand up and look at himself in the mirror and make faces, looking at the food in his mouth. All in all, both boys were very well behaved.
We came home and played in the game room some, but Evan started to cranky about sharing toys so we put the boys to bed. After some whining/crying, Evan is now quiet. Hopefully it stays that way and he doesn't get up early.
Until next time...
