Bedtime

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

I have been promising Evan I'd see him in the mornings. I thought that perhaps he's worried about not seeing me so I told him he didn't need to come out of bed because I'd see him in the morning. He didn't get up when I was getting ready. Before I left I went in his room to say goodbye, but he continued to sleep. Rachel said he didn't get up until close to 8am. That is good because he didn't go to bed until 11 last night.

Gabby came over this morning and got the boys breakfast. Rachel came downstairs and everyone went outside. Rachel and Evan picked one bell pepper that we had growing in our backyard. They then picked several jalapeno peppers as well. Gabby was holding Noah while Rachel and Evan were picking the peppers (not a peck of pickled peppers, mind you).

Blanca came over and Rachel went out to HEB and got a few things that we needed. When she got home around 1:30, they put the boys to bed. Rachel ate lunch and took a nap herself.

I got home around 5:30 and shortly thereafter, Bodar came and delivered dinner. It was pork meatballs (no sauce) with roasted potatoes, fresh bread and a salad. She also brought over pumpkin cookies. Everything was very good.

The boys played some after dinner and then we put the boys down to bed. We decided to stay upstairs and watch TV upstairs thinking that perhaps Evan was scared that we were downstairs and he was upstairs. One of the moms from the mom's group read this blog and suggested that might be the issue. He came out of his room once, but hasn't come out since. I don't know if being up here with him helped or my warning him about coming out of the room and that I would start taking toys. Hopefully he stays in bed. If these things don't work, we may stop the naps with him so he'll be tired at bedtime.

Until next time...
