Noah's Terrible Twos - Are they almost over?

This morning I had to fight Noah getting dressed. We were late to school. He threw a fit in the hallway at school and his teacher had to help me get him in the room. Evan was good though. In my fight to get Noah out the door and in the car, I forgot the boys backpacks with their lunches. I had to drive back home and then back to school to drop off their stuff.

After that I drove downtown to turn in the final paperwork for my speeding ticket/defensive driving.

I came home for a little bit and then picked up the boys. When I was getting all of Noah's stuff together to bring home I noticed his water wasn't with his stuff. He insisted it was not outside, but when I looked out the window I saw it on the playground. He threw a fit when I went to go get it. He kept saying it was not his water. Even when I brought the water bottle back inside the classroom he was still screaming that it was not his. It clearly said, "Noah" in my handwriting on the bottle. I don't know what his problem was. Then, he didn't want to leave the room. So, I left to get Evan and came back and got him.

When we left Evan's classroom, his friend Victoria ran up and gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek. Evan told me Victoria likes him a lot. :)

After school, first we we went to Party City to pick up some more things for the boys' birthday party. Then, we went to Home Depot. I got 10 more bags of top soil and 6 more bags of pebbles.

When we got home I used the bike trailer to haul the bags to the backyard from the car.

Noah actually took a nap today. I was very glad for that.

When Morry got home we started dinner and we spread out the soil and pebbles in the backyard.

For dinner i had salmon and Noah ate so much of my fish I had to make another one. Morry had Buffalo wings and we both had salad.

After dinner Morry had to work on our taxes so I took the boys with me to HEB.

We put Evan and Noah to bed but they are both still awake. I hear Evan attempting knock knock jokes. I heard something about "orange you glad I didn't say banana."

More Potty Training and School

At 5:37am and 6:37am Lizzy was whining at the back door. Morry let her out the first time and I let her out the second. Morry said she just ran around the backyard when he let her out. When I let her out she did go to bathroom.

Then, Evan woke up at 6:42 and was up for the day. We let him go in the game room and I tried to sleep some more.

Evan had school today. I put a diaper on him since he really isn’t potty trained yet. I told the teachers we were trying potty training and to see if he wanted to sit on the potty. They said he didn’t want to go on the potty today.

When I picked Evan up, he was very excited to see Noah. Evan ran up to Noah and gave him a kiss.

When we got home I let Evan and Noah play a little and then put them down for naps. Evan would not nap. I watched a movie with Evan downstairs while Noah napped.

When I brought Evan downstairs I put his underwear on him and started giving him Cool-aid. Evan did great tonight. He did not have any accidents and went on the potty a few times.

At one point when Morry and I were making dinner I heard Evan go in the bathroom. We went to check on him and he got on the potty and went to bathroom all by himself. It was very exciting.

I hope we can keep this up tomorrow.

For dinner we had spaghetti and salad.

We just put Evan and Noah to bed and it seems to be quiet. I hope Evan sleeps better tonight.

Another Tuesday

I walked/ran Evan to school today. It wasn’t too cold out this morning.

Noah and I just hung out at the house while Evan was at school. I trimmed Noah’s hair, but besides that we really didn’t do much.

When I walked in Evan’s classroom, Evan ran up to Noah and gave him a kiss. On the way home I told Evan that I gave Noah and haircut and then he asked if he could have one too. When we got home we all went outside in the backyard and I trimmed Evan’s hair. We played outside for a few more minutes, and then we came in for naps.

Noah napped, but Evan did not.

Blanca came over at 4:00. I tutored and came home at 8:00.

When we got home we took a walk around the neighborhood. Evan walked and ran some of the way. He sat in the stroller for about the last ¼ of the walk.

The boys are in bed and asleep now.
