More Evan

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Evan slept very well in the other bedroom last night. However, he still got up with me. There's no way he heard me. I think he just happened to get up.

As we were leaving the bedroom, and it was pitch black, I stepped on Lizzy's paw. Lizzy was sitting in the hallway with her paws in the threshold of the door. I stepped down and felt her paw and before I could put my weight on her paw, I tried to throw my weight differently and I just went down in a big heap on the floor. Luckily Rachel didn't wake up and neither did Noah. Lizzy was fine since I never put my weight down.

At 9:30am, I got a call at work from Rachel. She said she was at Evan's school. Apparently Evan was very very bad this morning. He didn't want to get dressed for school upstairs. He wanted to go downstairs. It's much easier for Rachel to get Evan dressed first and then Noah so she needed to do it upstairs. Well, this set Evan off to the point that he threw such a fit that lasted all the way to school. She couldn't get him fully strapped into his car seat (with his pajama top still on) but she drove him anyway. When she got to school, he refused to get out. She had to bring Noah in, lock the car, ask the teacher to watch Noah, go back out to the car and get Evan who held onto the things in the car with all his might. He continued to throw a fit at school but the teachers were able to calm him down. The rest of the day for him, amazingly was normal. Actually, Evan is normally pretty good. He gets upset, gets over it and moves on. He rarely stays upset for a long time. So the fact he was able to have a normal day was no surprise. The surprise was how long that he threw that fit. His fits normally are relatively short. I think he was probably over tired.

Rachel began to feel nauseous after she left Evan. She dropped Noah off at Alena's so she could get food for the party on Saturday and clean the house. Unfortunately she was not able to do much because she didn't feel well.

She got Evan and Noah and put Noah down for a nap and set Evan up in the gameroom and laid down herself. But she started feeling really sick.

When I got home, Noah and Evan were playing the gameroom. She just picked Noah up out of his crib and laid back down and hoped they would play well in the gameroom. They did.

Before Rachel got sick, she started a corned beef in the crock pot. I came home and carved it and the boys and I had dinner. Noah ate a ton of corned beef but Evan didn't have any.

After dinner, I vacuumed, cleaned up and put the boys to bed. Rachel came downstairs for a little bit after having vomited twice and watched a little tv with me while I folded laundry. She went back upstairs and I cleaned the downstairs office. Rachel definitely seems to have Evan's stomach virus. It only lasted 24 hours for Evan, let's hope it lasts that way for Rachel as well.

The boys went to sleep easily. Evan seems completely comfortable in the new room.

Until next time...
