Bike Ride with the Boys

So, last night, Evan did not have a pull up on and we kept his gate open. Around 1am I heard knocking. I thought Evan was at his door. When I came in the hallway I saw Evan knocking on Noah’s door. Evan seemed kind of disoriented and told me he needed to go to the bathroom. He went and I put him back to bed. He slept until about 8am.

After I got Evan and Noah dressed and fed I took them on a bike ride, for the first time. When we first got the bike trailer I took them around the block, but this time we really went for a ride. I only rode about 4 miles. I know that doesn’t sound like much, but when you are pulling a trailer with 2 boys weighing around 62lbs, and on hills, that’s quite a workout. We stopped at a playground at a school. The boys played on the equipment, we had an apple break, and then we got back on the bike and came home. Evan and Noah did pretty well in the trailer. Noah cried some of the way because he didn’t like wearing a helmet.

When we got home all of us were pretty hot. It was overcast today and slightly cooler than normal, but we were all pretty sweaty. I made smoothies and then we ate lunch.

After lunch, Evan and Noah took really good naps.

When, Evan got up from his nap, his sheets were all wet. This is the first accident he has had since potty training week. Maybe he forgot he had underwear on?

For dinner we had taco pasta.

After dinner, Morry and I took turns playing Wii Sports Active (an exercise game) while the boys played.

We just gave Evan and Noah baths and put them to bed. Evan is wearing Pull ups tonight, and we are leaving his gate open. We’ll see what happens tonight.

School and Mottel Comes Home

This morning Evan was up around 7am. The vet called a little before 8.

Overnight, they noticed an issue with Mottel. During the endoscopy the tube punctured his trachea which led to a small amount of air leaking out under the skin. They said it was very slight and we could bring him home, but just keep an eye on him.

After I dropped Evan off at school (first day at school in underwear) Noah and I went to pick up Mottel. He meowed a lot on the way home, but seemed happy once we got home. He immediately went under the bed in Noah’s room and stayed there most of the day.

When I picked up Evan at school Wendy said he did very well on the potty today. Evan proudly told me he pooped and peed on the potty today. Evan is pretty much potty trained now. He just wears a diaper/pull up for naps and overnight.

Evan was throwing a fit on the way home and behaving horribly. I was so mad at him, I brought him right upstairs for a nap when we got home. I did not put him in a pull up. He was not going to sleep and was playing at his gate. I went up a little while later to check on him and he had taken his shorts and underwear off and put on a pull up himself.

Evan did not end up napping, but Noah took a good nap.

Blanca came at 2:00. I tutored a new student for an hour at the bookstore. This student will be in 6th grade in the fall and wants help to prepare for the placement test to skip a math level. It seemed to go well. I will probably meet with him again next week.

I got home around 4:00. Noah was still sleeping. Evan and I played outside in both the front yard and back yard.

For dinner we had taco pasta.

After dinner Evan played outside more, some with me and some with Morry.

We made ice cream in a bag tonight and added blueberries to Evan’s ice cream. It was a hit. Even Morry thought it was good.

Evan and Noah are in bed now. I hope Evan sleeps late tomorrow.
