Big Boy Underwear

This morning when Evan woke up, he sat on the potty and peed. Of course, we did the potty dance and he got a sticker. He put on his big boy underwear and actually kept them on.

Once I got everyone dressed and fed we went to mail our tax stuff. I was worried it would be really busy. I went to a mail center, not an actual post office. There were only 2 other people there.

On the way home we stopped at the Circle C Park and played for a little while. I brought Evan’s Velcro baseball and glove. He had a good time playing with it. Noah enjoyed crawling around. Both boys just love being outside. They had a great time.

At home, as I was getting lunch ready, Evan came up to me and said his pants were wet. I had tried to get him to sit on the potty earlier, but he didn’t want to. Anyway, we changed his underwear and shorts and then ate lunch outside.

During lunch both Evan and Noah were pretty cranky. While I was cleaning up from lunch Evan dumped all the food from his plate on the patio floor outside. Noah was crying. I put them both down for early naps.

Noah went to sleep right away.

Before I put Evan down I asked him to sit on the potty. He didn’t want to sit on the potty, so I told him we’d have to put a diaper back on him for nap. He didn’t seem to mind. That was the end of his underwear wearing for today. He wore diapers the rest of the day.

Evan did not nap. I heard him talking, and playing, and saying Noah’s name (I don’t know why).

I let Evan come out of his room and play in the gameroom while I got ready for tutoring.

Blanca came at 3:00.

I tutored 3 students and came home at 7:00.

We ate pizza for dinner.

We put the boys to bed early tonight since they were both pretty cranky tonight.

Another cold

I think I either have another cold, bad allergies, or a sinus infection. I was up a lot of the night coughing and sneezing. I didn’t get much sleep. I finally fell asleep around 3 something and then woke up at 7 something.

I drove Evan to school today because not only was I tired, but they were predicting rain. After dropping Evan off I went to HEB to get a refill on my thyroid medicine. We just got new insurance. I gave them the info I had on the new insurance, but for some reason it wasn’t going through. They had my birthday wrong on something. I called Morry when I got home and after talking to someone at his work they said just to use the old insurance info. and they would figure it all out.

I picked Evan up at school and then went back to HEB to get my medicine. This time I had no problems.

When I was changing Evan before his nap he told me he wanted to go potty. He has yet to actually do anything on the potty, but sometimes he will ask to sit on it. He sat on the potty for a few seconds and I gave him a sticker. I give him a sticker every time he sits on the potty. I put Evan back in bed with just a shirt and diaper on. I didn’t feel like putting his jeans back on if he was just going to be in bed, and I thought he’d be more comfortable without the jeans anyway.

Noah went down for his nap pretty easily but Evan wasn’t napping. I went to Evan’s room again. When I walked in he had his jeans on (not zipped or snapped), his shoes on and velcroed (but on the wrong feet), and his socks on both of his hands like mittens. He told me he wanted to sit on the potty again. So, I got him undressed and this time he sat on the potty for a while. Every time I’d ask him if he was done, he’d say no. Evan is still somewhat confused about how to pee in the potty. He kept telling me it didn’t work or that the pee was stuck. After a while on the potty, and still no pee, I put Evan back in his room and he fell asleep at the door by the gate. At least he took a nap. I was able to nap for a little bit too while the boys were napping.

For dinner we just had soup and leftover pasta and bread from the other night.
