Drenched

Last night Noah was up several times throughout the night. I was exhausted this morning. Luckily, Morry was home and got Evan set up with a movie and breakfast so that I could sleep a little bit.

When I got up I called Noah’s doctor and made an appointment to get him checked out. He has had a cold for about a week now and since he was up so many times last night, I wanted to get him in to see a doctor.

I dropped Evan off at school. Noah and I came back home for a little bit and then we went to his doctor appointment. The doctor believes he just has a cold. She suggested we get some kids Mucinex for him. She said if he’s not getting better by Monday or Tuesday he may have a sinus infection. It’s just too early to tell yet. His ears and chest seemed ok.

We came back home and ate lunch. Then, we went to pick up Evan. On the way to school it was threatening to rain. As we walked into the building it was raining a little bit. But then, when it was time to leave it was pouring. The boys and I go drenched! They both thought it was really funny. When we got home I let them watch the rain and then got them some dry clothes.

Evan and Noah both took good naps.

For dinner, Evan, Noah, and I picked up food at Subway. Morry was out for a going away party for someone at his old work. At Subway, Evan and Noah picked out their own bags of chips. Evan chose Doritos and Noah picked the Cheetos. I filled up my cup with orange Fanta and was reaching to the other side to get a lid when Noah grabbed a hold of the open, filled cup. He was standing and the drink was slightly above him. It was all over his head and body. He was screaming. His whole body was orange. I had to take off his shirt before we got in the car. I apologized to the people working there. The guy seemed to understand. He said he also had a small child. He gave Noah a little toy from a kids meal to play with.

We ate our dinner at home and as I was finishing Evan told me there was pee pee on the tile. He had peed through his clothes and all over the bathroom tile somehow. I started the shower and threw both boys in. That was about the time Morry got home.

Evan and Noah are in their pajamas now. Evan’s watching the Steelers game with Morry. Noah’s playing/ getting into trouble.

Evan speaks Spanish!

I walked Evan to school today. Then, I walked back home and it was time to turn around and come right back to school for Evan’s parent-teacher conference. Morry worked from home today, so we went together with Noah to meet Wendy. It was fun hearing about Evan and how he is doing at school. Wendy said he’s doing great and meeting all the developmental milestones. It really seems like she takes the time to get to know the kids. She said the only thing Evan needs to work on is cleaning up, especially after lunch. She said after lunch he just wants to run off and play.

Morry picked Evan up at school. When he got home I noticed there were stamps on his arm and I asked where he got them. He said Ms. Aranza gave them to him during Spanish. I asked what he learned in Spanish class and he said “ojos (eyes)”. I was so impressed. I asked where his ojos were and he pointed to his eye. I asked Evan what else he learned and he pointed to his nose and then said “nariz.”

Blanca came at 2:00. I had an appointment for a mammogram. My doctor and I figured it was a good idea to get a baseline test since there is a history of cancer in the family. After the mammogram I had some time to kill before tutoring so I went over to Marshall’s. I went there to look for shoes for Evan, but didn’t find any wides in his size. They had some great deals and I bought a few things for me.

I got home at 8. We just put the boys to bed.


I just wanted to add…. When we were getting Evan ready for bed tonight, he was at his sink drinking some water and he spilled it on his pajama top. I brought him in his room to get another top. He wanted the truck pajamas, so I put the top on. He wanted the bottoms of the truck pajamas too, but I refused since the pajama pants he had on where fine and dry. Well, when Morry went upstairs to put Evan back to bed Evan said, “I put these on.” Morry looked down and saw Evan had taken off his other pajama pants, got his truck pajama pants out of his drawer, and put them on by himself.
