Jamie and Liam Chew's Blog: 2009-09-14

2009-09-14 23:13 (Kristen) Another week of school, and Jamie was happy to get to school and start all over again. Liam was happy to hang out with me in the morning and play with his DS, and I let him as he'd gone to bed late the night before and was up quite early this morning. This is, always, a recipe for disaster and I had low expectations of him and his ability to deal with much today. We did go pick up Jamie for lunch. We ate at Browning, which delighted Jamie, and then John came to take him back to school. In the afternoon, Liam and I hung out again, and then had some extra time together in the afternoon. Jamie had a playdate at Sam's with the posse, which included dinner. This seems like it's going to be the pattern from now on, as the boys don't get much time to play together anymore if dinner isn't somehow involved. I left Liam with John, and went to get Jamie and bring him to Browning around 6:30. Jamie had had a fabulous time, which included playing with Sam's bouncy castle in the back yard along with Jake and Parker. When we got back to Browning, I helped Jamie to do his spelling homework before I went off to play Trivia. John reports that he got Jamie to do his Japanese homework, and that Liam was overtired and in a delicate state when he finally got the boys home. Something happened to set a very tired Liam off, and he melted down completely in the bathroom. He cried for 20 minutes before falling asleep on the floor. Boom. When I got home, both boys were in bed, asleep, and John notified me that Liam had not peed, or brushed his teeth, or changed into his pajamas. Given his state before he fell asleep, I'd say that was acceptable.
