Tuesday

Soccer game tonight...Black vs Blue. It was a pretty even match. Both boys scored a goal or two...I think. My friend Jeremy from High School was in town, so he came with to cheer.

Megan is going through a night owl stage. Our options at naptime are to give her a nap, and have a very happy, talkative, friendly little girl be wide awake until 10:30-11 at night, or no nap and have a very crabby girl from 4-9 pm....we take the happy girl. Our "routine" is after the boys go to bed, Megan sneaks into our bed when I go to bed, and we watch "Good Eats" and "Unwrapped" on Food Network. She also likes "Chopped" and "Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives...." She talks non stop and to anyone within the range of her voice.

Jonathan has been fine tuning his debate skills. Always has dissenting opinion and commentary on what is being discussed. He is always quite logical with his discussion. I see Law School in his future.

Eric. Eric. Eric. I wonder how many times we say his name each day. He has such a kind soul, and such a short temper. He had to "pull a card" for the first time last week. First time of his educational career...this was very stressful to him. His offense was not writing his name on an assignment. He was in worry mode for the rest of the evening....very worried that he would repeat the mistake again the next day. It was the first think he thought of when he woke up the next morning. He was so worried, I had to take him to talk to his teacher about it before school started. She told him the same things that I did, but it seemed to mean more coming from her. Right now, he is cuddled up by me in bed, worried that he will forget to write his name again. Megan is cuddled up next to him. We are watching "chopped", and will follow with "Good Eats"
