This morning Noah threw a mini fit. He didn't want to get dressed and didn't want to go to school. Morry buckled him in the car for me.
Evan came with me to drop Noah off at school and then we went to Bed Bath and Beyond to exchanged the beverage dispenser. I also picked up my new glasses from the eye doctor.
At home, Evan played Wii while I worked cleaning the panty. I only got through the bottom/floor. It took most of the morning until it was time to get Noah.
Morry came with us to pick up Noah. Evan and Noah were excited to see each other.
We took it easy at home this afternoon.
For dinner we made fried rice.
After dinner Morry suggested we go to Blizzy's for shaved ice. It was closed. It closes at 7:30pm now. So, we knew of another snow cone place near HEB and decided to try it out. I was good. They had lots of chair for sitting outside, but I had to go in the car after a little while. Even though I sprayed myself with bug spray I was still getting bit up.
The boys are ready for bed now, but not asleep.

Errands and Meetings
This morning I dropped the boys off at Clubhouse for Kids and met with Morry and Noah's therapist. The therapist went over some of the testing results. Basically, she said there is no diagnosis (both good and bad news). There's a big gap between Noah's cognitive development and his emotional development. Noah scored really well on the tests in lots of areas, but emotionally he is behind. She said she'd go over some ways to help us fill in the gap and make things easier on all of us.
From there, I picked up the boys and we went to Noah's sports class.
After Noah's sports class we came home for a little bit and then met a woman near the mall to buy another Leapster for Evan. Evan's Leapster broke a while ago and I wanted to get him another one for our trip. I found a lady on Craigslist selling a used Leapster along with some games. We met at a Starbucks.
From there we met Morry at the mall to look at glasses for me at the Eyemasters. They were expensive and would only take insurance out of network. The haggling was annoying too. I felt like we were at a car dealership. I decided not to buy from there.
We ate dinner at the food court in the mall.
On the way home we had more errands to run so we split up. Morry and Evan went to Office Depot and Noah and I went to Babies R Us.
The boys are pretty much ready for bed. We just need to put the clean sheets back on their beds.

Eye Doctor
Today Noah was a little cranky this morning, but he calmed down quickly.
He went to school, but I picked him up early around 12:15. I had an eye doctor appointment at 12:30. I had to make it at that time because they didn't have much available. I was worried I wouldn't be done in time to get Noah, so they said it was ok to bring him with me.
Noah was very good there and even pressed the button to take pictures of my eye. He liked that. My prescription only changed a little, but I need to pick out new glasses. I narrowed it down to 6, so I'll have Morry come with me soon to help me choose.
We got Evan from school and came home. Around 4pm Jack's mom called to see if Evan could come over. We walked over there and Noah wanted to stay and play. I talked to Jack's mom for a while and she said it was fine if Noah wanted to stay longer.
For dinner we picked up food from Blue Bamboo.
The boys are taking showers now and then they'll go to bed.

Four-eyed Family
Hello everyone, this is Morry. This is the first post I've written in a week.
Last night, Noah got up a ton of times. Rachel and I alternated going in there. The boys seem to have runny noses again so I don't know if that was what was bothering Noah. His stomach may have been bothering him as well. Or it could simply be separation anxiety as he has shown some of that. In any event, he would get up every few hours.
When we finally got up for good, all of us went over to Rachel's eye doctor's office. She had gone for a checkup a few days ago and they said she needed to new glasses and that should wear them more often. She had picked out a few glasses and I gave her my opinion. So now Rachel and I will both be wearing glasses.
After that we went to Walmart to get a toy for a birthday party that we were going to this afternoon. We also got a booster/car seat for Evan for my car.
We went home and had lunch and Evan was very cranky. Actually, so was Noah. Both boys didn't eat too much and we put them down for a nap. Then I spent a long time getting the new car seats in the car for Evan and flipping the Evan's old car seats around so they are rear-facing for Noah. Now, Noah is officially out of the infant car seat. In about 2.5 months we can switch him to forward facing.
We got to the birthday party late because of the naps. It was at the Little Gym which is kind of like Gymboree. There were 21 toddlers there. It was nuts. That doesn't include some of the kids who had little siblings closer to Noah's age. Evan was a bit of a pain at first but he ended up having a good time. He had a cupcake and then wanted more. I gave him a bit of my cupcake.
Tonight, Blanca came over and babysat for the boys. Rachel's brother got us a gift card to the Alamo Drafthouse, as well as a $30 check for babysitting. The Alamo Drafthouse is a movie theater that also serves dinner. We went to go see Marley and Me. When we got there, it was already sold out so we saw Yes Man. It was decent. Probably a good rental. It was entertaining though. It was nice getting out.
When we got home Blanca was reading to Evan in bed. She had put him down a while before, but he got out of bed so she was trying to get him back to bed. I then read to him and put him down, but he's out of bed again. I hope he goes to sleep soon.
Until next time...

Non-stop day
I had a student scheduled for 12 noon and Blanca was coming at 11:30. I needed to do some things around the house and go to HEB before Blanca came. Evan and Noah got up around 8:30am. I took a very quick shower. Gave them breakfast, got a few things done, and then we went to HEB. We got back home two minutes before Blanca got here. I quickly unloaded the groceries and discussed lunch details for the boys. I threw some lunch stuff together to bring in the car.
I tutored the student, stopped at Old Navy and bought a couple of shirts, and then went to my eye doctor appointment. I scheduled a check-up because it had been about 7 ½ years since I last had my eyes checked. She said everything looked good and my prescription did change a little. They have this new system that scans your eye and takes a picture instead of the doctor having to dilate your eyes and look into them. It was nice not having to get my eyes dilated. I looked at different glasses frames for a while and narrowed it down to three. I’ll have Morry come look at them in the next few days so I can get his opinion.
For dinner we made steak for Morry and shrimp for me on the grill. Evan had two pieces of my shrimp, veggies (including the cauliflower he insisted we buy today), chick peas, applesauce, … He ate really well. I made him fish sticks too. He took a bite, but decided he didn’t like them.
I’m going out with Alissa tonight. Our plans are to go to a coffee shop where they have live salsa music.
