On My Own

Jason is in Vegas now doing his presentation for his Master's. It's today. So he got there yesterday and is staying through tomorrow, meaning the boys and I are on our own.

It's going just fine. Easton had a really rough afternoon starting with his misbehaving during quiet time and getting worse for a bit till he was screaming so much he puked. I was not feeling my most patient with him. And he's lucky he puked on his bed and not the new carpet. Rather, I'm lucky. After awhile spent calming down in his room he finally rejoined us and we had a much better afternoon and evening.

Although because he'd puked he decided he was sick and when I asked what he wanted for dinner he said, "I might throw up in my dinner." Then later when I said, "Shouldn't we do something special for dinner?" he said, "Yeah!!!" and I asked, "What!?!?" and he said, "Recycle!" Huh?

We had boxed mac and cheese instead.

Followed by pudding painting! Easton doesn't like pudding but still had fun getting plenty messy before bath time:






It's not so much about the 'art' as it is the mess:


Then it was off to baths and we read books in my bed for a bit. Easton got to join me in my bed for the night. Dalton, no way. He's not cut out for sleeping in a bed just yet. But Easton did great. I tucked him in and left him to fall asleep on his own like he's used to. When we try to stay with him to fall asleep (like J during their "camp outs") he's just too excited and won't go to sleep.

He's a little snorer and he woke up this morning at about 6:20 but he laid there pretty quietly till 7:00. However, he's now got a cold and was experimenting with trying to breathe through his nose the entire 40 minutes. But otherwise it was lovely and he'll be joining me again tonight.

When we all got up and ready for the day the boys watched Toy Story 2. Dalton's always asking to watch Woody shows. After it was over we headed to Sam's Club for a few things and then back home for lunch.

Later this afternoon I've got my 16 week OB visit. Hope it goes well!
