UT and Green Eggs and Ham

This morning we had an appointment at the University of Texas Children’s Research Lab. They called to see if I could bring in Evan for a study. They said the study involved showing a kid toys, taking them apart, and having them put it back to together. So, I said we could come in at 11am today.

It was pouring down rain on the way there.

When we got there Evan was very quiet. Noah and I were able to watch him from another room. I could see, but not hear anything. The girl said he did well and did what he was asked. She told me he said something about a Cars birthday and she asked me if he was talking about the Cars movie. After the study they brought a box over to Evan with toys and let him pick one. Evan picked the sidewalk chalk. As we were leaving, classes must have just gotten out and there were a ton of students everywhere. There were people on bikes, people walking. Evan was very curious about where they were going.

On the way home we stopped at Target to return a couple of things. Evan was upset that we didn’t go to the toy section and threw a little fit in the parking lot. It had just started raining hard again and we got wet while he was throwing a fit and I was trying to get him in the car.

Driving home I asked Evan what he wanted for lunch. I listed a few things and the last one was eggs. He said he wanted green eggs and ham. So, when we got home we actually made green egg and turkey. I didn’t have ham. He helped me mix the eggs and add a drop of green coloring.

Noah went down for a nap around 2:00. Evan wasn’t tired so let him play Geo Trax for a little bit upstairs and then he took a nap around 3:00.

Blanca came at 4:00. Noah was just waking up at that time. She said Evan got up around 5:00.

I tutored and got home at 6:00.

We had steak (Morry) and shrimp (me) and rice for dinner. Evan ate more of his green eggs and ham for dinner. He really didn’t each much of it at lunch. He did finish them all at dinner though. Both Evan and Noah ate a lot of fruit. Our boys love strawberries especially.

We took a walk after dinner. We went around the block. Evan rode his little bike the whole way while we walked with Noah in the stroller.

We just put the boys to bed. Evan is still crying. He started fighting bed time a few nights ago. Hopefully he calms down soon and gets some sleep.
