Kevin’s house

This morning we went over to Yenis and Kevin’s house. We had a nice time and Evan and Kevin played well together. We ate lunch over there. Yenis and I made mac and cheese for the boys and had tortellini for us. We had planned to walk to the park near them, but it was cold outside. It was in the 50s today.

We stayed at their house until around 1:30 and then went to the bank. I had some checks and cash from tutoring to deposit. Evan was very excited about going to the bank. He asked the teller for a lollypop and told her he wanted a green one.

By the time we got home and I put Evan and Noah down for a nap it was 3:00. Evan didn’t fall asleep until probably 4:00. He was just playing in his room until then. He even turned his CD player on at one point.

Evan and Noah slept until about the time Morry got home. Then, we went to a new restaurant that opened near us. It’s called Natural Planet. We liked it and would go back there. Morry got a hamburger and I got a pasta with veggies. We were also able to order edamame for Evan.

At home I was finishing folding laundry and Evan was running around with his clean truck sheets. I put the pillowcase over his head and thought that was really funny. Then, he wouldn’t let me take it off. He was running around pretending like he couldn’t see and was running into things. Then I took the sheet and hung it from the dining room half wall to the couch to make a little tent. Evan loved that too.

Brrrrr

It got cold here. The weather man said it got close to freezing here last night. This morning around 9 the temperature was 42 degrees. I still walked Evan to school. It was cold, but at least it was sunny. I bundled the boys in jackets and blankets, and by the time we got to school they didn’t need the blankets anymore.

While Evan was at school I just got stuff done around the house. Noah and I didn’t go anywhere. I fed Noah his usually lunch of cereal. I also gave him some Gerber puffs (little finger food cereal). He’s starting to get better at getting foods to his mouth. He seems to like those little puffs, even though not all of them make it to his mouth.

When I went to pick up Evan at school he was in the corner near the books lying on a pillow and covered with a blanket. He was smiling at me and said, “I tucked myself.” Wendy thought that was funny. He went over to the corner on his own, got the blanket and pillow, and tucked himself in. He must have been pretty tired.

When we got home I tried to put the boys down for a nap. Neither one wanted to sleep. I finally got Noah to sleep around 2:30. When Blanca came at 3 Evan was still up. Through the monitor we heard him say, “I want Blanca.” He must have heard her come in. Evan ended up not napping at all. Noah slept for almost 2 hours.

I got home from tutoring at 7. Morry had made ribs for us. We ate dinner and then put Evan and Noah to bed. Evan scratched his Toy Story CD, so we had to put the Raffi CD on instead. He cried some, but now it sounds like he is asleep. Noah doesn’t seem to mind what he listens to. Right now he has a swing music CD in his player.
