Field Day

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

We walked to school this morning.  The boys were both in good moods.

Today was Track and Field Day at school for K-2 kids.  All the classes go outside and do various athletic type activities.  Parents are invited to come watch some of them.  I wasn't able to go, but Rachel went this morning and watched Noah.  I think Noah enjoyed having Rachel there.

Rachel had to pick Noah up a bit early from school today as both she and Noah had dentist appointments.  No cavities were found on this trip so the dentist missed out on making more money from us.  But everyone loved Noah and thought he was a very good patient.

I walked to get Evan.  Since it was just me, I left Lizzy home.

Evan and I went to baseball practice.  It looked like it might rain as we left the house.  I picked Miles up on the way.  About an hour into practice we saw several flashes of lightning so we cut practice short.

The boys are getting ready for bed now.

Until next time...

More Evan Issues

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

At the boys' birthday party, Evan was eating Laffy Taffy and he said his filling came out.   We got an appointment for Evan today at 8am.  Rachel drove Evan to the dentist and I walked Noah to school.

At the dentist, they discovered that Evan's filling was in tact.  It's just he had another cavity.  They said that Evan's teeth are very susceptible to cavities.  We can't figure it out because really, Evan doesn't eat that much candy and most days he doesn't drink any juice.  He just has water.   He drinks water for all three meals during the week.  They said for people like Evan, any kind of carbohydrates, even bread, could cause problems.  But that wasn't all.  Apparently, one of Evan's adult molars was trying to come in but his baby molar wasn't coming out.  This apparently caused an infection.  So Evan had to get a cavity filled and his baby molar pulled.  He wasn't done until about 10:30am.  He was pretty uncomfortable.

I met Rachel and Evan at Wholy Bagel.  Neither Rachel nor I can go tomorrow so we decided to do it today.  We wanted to let Evan get a little better.  He just had a drink there.

Afterwards, both Rachel and I wanted Evan to go back to school.  After all, he missed Monday.  But he threw a gigantic fit.  I guess it turned out that he really wasn't feeling well because he came home and went right to sleep.

We left Evan home alone for a bit while we walked to get Noah.

In the afternoon, Rachel baked cookies for the boys' teachers for Teacher's Appreciation Week.

Evan was feeling better later in the afternoon and we went out and threw the football around.

For dinner, we made orange chicken.

The boys are about to go to bed.  Until next time...

Busy day for Evan

This morning Evan had a dentist appointment to get 2 of his cavities fixed.  Noah came along since Morry wasn't home.  Evan did well, but complained some after about not feeling well.  I got the boys Slurpees on the way home and that seemed to help.

We took it easy this afternoon then Morry and Evan went to baseball practice for a scrimmage game.  I just got the call that they are on their way home.

Dentist

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

We walked to school today.  The boys did well walking.

The boys had dentist appointments today.  It had been a year since they went last.  Both boys had appointments at the same time.  Rachel picked them up from school at 10:20 and took them.  Noah's appointment went really well.  He got a good bill of health.  However, for Evan, the news was not as good.  He has two more cavities and the one last year the filling had become damaged.  So he had to stay longer today while they fixed that filling.  He didn't need any anesthesia or anything.  He'll go back in the summer to have the other teeth fixed.  We're at a loss for why he keeps getting them.  He's just going to have to floss consistently.

Evan did not go back to school.  He said he wasn't feeling well after the ordeal.  Noah wanted to go back to school and Rachel dropped him off.

I ran out to Academy looking for baseball pants for a boy on the Marauders and got some things for myself.  Then I stopped at Wholy Bagels and got lunch for Rachel and me and brought it home.

Evan watched a movie and Rachel walked to pick Noah up later.

Noah had a baseball game tonight.  They won again.  This time, the team was finally able to get three outs in one inning.  We've won every game based on the number of outs recorded tie breaker.  But today, we actually held them to four runs in one inning and won the game.

Evan had baseball practice at the same time.  After the game, Noah's team was going to the Austin Pizza Garden to hang out.  Rachel and Noah went over there while I walked over to Evan's practice and helped out at the end.  Then Evan and I drove over to the restaurant.  We had a really nice time and got to spend time with a family that I hadn't gotten to talk to before.  It was very nice.  We enjoyed it.

We are home now and the boys are getting ready for bed.

Until next time...

Dentist for Evan

This morning I dropped Noah off at school and then picked up Evan for his dentist appointment.

Evan did very well.  He had 2 cavities filled.  We were able to bring a movie from home for him to watch on the overhead screen.  He chose Milo and Otis.  The cavities were not as bad as the dentist originally thought so we were able to get both filled today.

As soon as we got in the car Evan started whining about the pain.  I offered to get him an Icee at HEB, but when we got there he didn't want it.  They said I could give him some Motrin if he was uncomfortable, but he didn't want to take any medicine.

I got Noah from school and then made smoothies for the boys.  Once Evan had his smoothie he was acting like nothing had happened.  He was pretty much back to normal and was even eating snacks.

Gabby came and I left to tutor. 

Morry and the boys had dinner at home and I got home around 8pm.

Evan seemed fine tonight.  He was even a bit hyper.

Evan's Dentist Appointment

This morning after dropping Noah off at school I picked up Evan and took him to the dentist for a checkup.

It turns out he has 2 cavities.  He was having some gum pain that we and the dentist thought was from his molars growing in.  It turned out, he had 2 cavities, one of which was causing the mild pain for him.  Both are on his baby molars. They said it's important we got those fixed because he needs to keep those teeth in until he's about 12.  If for some reason they have to come out, they'll put spacers in to make sure the jaw forms right until the time when his teeth should have come out on their own.  We have an appointment on Monday to get the cavities filled.  Besides that, the visit went well.  Everything else looks good and Evan was very good there.  He got to pick a prize at the end. He choose a bag of plastic bugs.

I dropped Evan off at school and shortly after it was time to get Noah.

Gabby came over and I left to tutor.

When Morry got home he packed food for the boys and they went to the baseball field.  Morry volunteered for concession stand duty tonight.  The boys played and ate while Morry and the other parents worked.   I picked up Evan and Noah around 7:30 when I was done tutoring.  Morry stayed until 8:30.

On the way home we stopped at Target to get a few things.

The boys are in bed now.  It's been a long day for all of us.  Now it's time for me to finally eat some dinner.
