Rise and Shine

This morning both boys were up at 6:30am. That's very early for them. Evan said he heard the air conditioning come on and thought it was the garage door. When he ran out in the hallway Noah was coming out to use the restroom. Both boys were excited to see each other and never went back to sleep.

Evan and Noah were very hyper this morning, but then it turned to crankiness. I dropped them off at Clubhouse for Kids around noon. I packed a lunch for them to eat there.

I stopped in Target to get a few things and then went to the hospital to visit Lauren and Shayne. She had her baby last night. I visited with Lauren, Shayne, Aunt Susan, Aaron, Mandy, and of course baby Garrett for about an hour.

I picked up the boys at Clubhouse for Kids and then we came home. Noah wouldn't nap.

For dinner we had flank steak and corn. Noah ate really well. He actually ate our dinner, which was nice. Evan ate ok.

We tried getting the boys ready for bed a little early, but they are both still awake right now.

Evan the Bad

This morning Evan must have heard the garage door when Morry was leaving. He was crying for Daddy for a while. I brought Evan downstairs and got him some breakfast. Gabby came at 7:30am and I was able to lie down a little bit. I didn’t sleep well last night

Later in the morning I went to Newflower to get some groceries for us and some stuff for Bernardo and Gabriela who just had a baby.

When I got home Gabby left and I gave Evan and Noah lunch. Neither one ate very much. Evan has gotten into a bad habit of wanting candy after every meal. He threw a fit when I said no today. Evan started throwing his toy trains at the wall. I told him if he threw any more we’d stop playing and go upstairs for naps. He started to dump his whole box of trains. I asked him not to do that but he did it anyway. Then he grabbed one of his stuffed animals (lion) and started whacking it against the wall too. I took the lion and put it on top of the refrigerator and brought him upstairs. He was screaming and crying. I put him in bed, but he wouldn’t stay there. I closed his gate and the gate at the top of the stairs. He can easily open his gate and the gate at the top of the stairs has a really stupid design. It has Velcro on it and Evan knows how to unvelcro it and get through the gate. Evan kept coming downstairs and I had to carry him back up at least 5 times. I was so mad at the makers of the gate I gave them a call to complain about who ever designed the gate. Evan was crying for his lion the whole time I was on the phone. Anyway, they are sending us a replacement gate that apparently doesn’t have that flaw.

Somehow both boys actually ended up taking good naps.

For dinner Ursula, from Morry’s work, bought us food from BJs.

After dinner I went over to Gabriela and Bernardo’s house for a few minutes to see the baby and bring them the food I bought at Newflower.

Evan and Noah are in bed now. Noah is quiet, but I hear a lot of thumping and movement coming from Evan’s room.
