Rain

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

This morning, I woke up when I felt like I was being watched. Evan was peaking around the end of the bed trying to determine if I was awake. I got up with him and turned on a movie in the gameroom and let him play in there. He let me sleep for another hour and a half which was nice.

Later in the morning, Evan had soccer. Rachel and Noah dropped Evan and me off at soccer and then went to Newflower to get some produce for us for the week. As soon as we got into the soccer place, Evan was acting like he didn't want to be there. He went on the soccer field and just stood there not doing anything. I eventually talked to him and he told me he didn't want to play and that he didn't like soccer. So I had to call Rachel and tell her to hurry up and come pick us back up. In the meantime, Evan pretended to play video games.

Both boys were acting tired so we gave them lunch quickly. Rachel put Noah down for a nap and he went down easily. Evan didn't nap though. He stayed downstairs and played.

At 3pm, Evan and Noah had a birthday party to go to. Evan and Rachel left and I stayed home because Noah was still sleeping. Shortly after they left, Noah got up so I drove him over to the party at the Little Gym. Evan and Noah were very excited to see each other. Noah was running and climbing all over everything there. It was the first time that he actually participated in a party. It was very cute. At one point they blew up one of those bouncy things and Noah was running back and forth with all of the other kids. They served cake and Noah was the last one sitting with the cake. It was as if he didn't want to leave any cake behind. He fed himself a bit with a form, I fed him some and he used his hands some. But he ate almost all of that cake.

Oh, and we saw they are opening up a bagel place two doors down for the Little Gym called Wholy Bagels. I can't believe it. I've been here for 11 years and we've needed a bagel place all 11 years. Finally, we're getting one. We'll see how good it is.

For dinner, I grilled flank steak and made rice.

After dinner, the most amazing thing happened. It rained. For real. It's been a long time, but I'm pretty sure I recognized it. I can't remember the last time it rained. In fact, this rain was so rare, that neighbors came out of their houses and stood on their porches to see it. It was like it was snowing or something and people were so amazed. We watched the rain from the upstairs porch. Unfortunately, after 10 minutes, the rain stopped and that was the end of it. Then, we went out on the driveway and the boys ran around.

We put the boys down to bed a little while ago. And we had another momentous occasion. Evan decided he didn't want to wear a pull up to bed. He has been insisting on it since he got potty trained. So we will see how tonight goes. I hope he remembers he has underwear on because I don't want to change the sheets in the middle of the night.

Until next time...
