Sink Fixed

This morning I had planned on running and then taking the boys to the spray fountains. Plans changed. The boys were both cranky this morning. I had to call to arrange someone to come fix our sink. Then, I thought maybe I would just run around the lake and then go to the fountains near by. While I was loading stuff in the car, the boys were really being fussy. Evan was whining about wanting different things. Noah was crying because I wasn’t holding him. I was worried about the car ride and being out at the lake with the boys moods. I changed my plans again. I had to get out of the house, so I strapped the boys in the stroller (with Evan crying/whining) and just walked around the neighborhood.

Evan and Noah really needed early naps. I fed them lunch. Lenny, the repair guy, came at 1:00 to fix the sink. I let Evan play outside while Lenny was fixing the sink. I would have liked to have them in bed, but I needed to wait for Lenny to finish. Lenny fixed the sink and left around 1:30

I put the boys down for naps. They were both asleep for maybe 30-45 minutes when Noah started crying. I could not get him to calm down. I tried his pacifier. Then I took him out of bed and tried rocking him. He was screaming. I thought something was maybe wrong. I had to change his wet diaper and I could barely hold him down. By this time Evan had woken up from all of Noah’s crying. I took Noah on the upstairs patio and he calmed down right away and was happy. A little while later I put him back to bed and he threw another fit. I knew Evan would not go back to bed so I let him play in the gameroom. I left Noah in his room so I could get ready for tutoring. He quieted down, but did not go back to sleep. I brought him downstairs right before Blanca got here at 4:00.

I tutored one student and got home around 6:00.

We ate our leftovers from last night.

After dinner we let the boys play a little before bed.

Noah took a few steps! Morry and I sat a few feet away from each other and encouraged Noah to go back and forth. Most of the time he just sort of fell or dove to the other person, but a few times he actually took a few steps.

Evan did not want to go to bed. He was crying after we put them to bed. He just quieted down. I hear Noah’s bear singing. So, both boys are still awake. I hope they fall asleep soon.
