Picnic

We had beautiful weather yesterday and I had class.  Amanda took the kids out for a picnic.  Amanda was a little disturbed that a group of older boys wanted to hang around Lily.  They weren't ridiculously older, but they were probably around 5th grade.  Lily enjoyed the attention of course, but Amanda made sure to keep an eye on things.  I suspect that this is a preview of things to come.

Noah had a rough night last night.  He woke up around 10:30 or 11:00 screaming.  Amanda took him to the potty, which usually does the trick.  He wouldn't settle down.  I eventually ended up giving him some Motrin around midnight, which did settle him down eventually.  It's tough to deal with a borderline hysterical 2 year-old in the middle of the night, particularly when his verbal skills aren't the best even in more lucid moments.  We got through it though.

Today is shaping up to be another lovely spring day in the Triangle.  I suspect that there will be time in the park for Amanda and Noah today.  You have to take advantage of these days as they come.
