Haircut and 19 months

Evelyn got her first haircut 2 weekends ago.  I love Evelyn's hair long, but the ends were getting scraggly.  Nate gave me a hard time because I only let the hairdresser take an inch off.  But if it's too short I can't put it in a pony tail or braid it.


Jameson also turned 19 months on August 20th.  We went swimming that day too which was a lot of fun.  


Probably the biggest change for Jameson is that he finally started saying Evelyn's name.  And he now has several two word phases and occasionally a three word phrase.  He has been sleeping better.  For a while there he would wake up and either Nate or I would have to sleep on the floor of his room, but thankfully that seems to have stopped.  I think we may be dealing with some terrible twos at times.  He will ask for something, like a glass of milk, and then throw a tantrum because he doesn't really want the milk.  So you put it back in the fridge and then he cries for the milk back.  So you take it out again to try to give it to him and he cries no milk.  Repeat as many times as you have patience for (like twice) or until either you or Jameson gives up.

City champs

 Cross country season is officially over. Last night was city finals and Blackhawk girls finished first. We took 1st, 3rd, 5th, 8th and 10th place. Evelyn ran 14:56, so about 10 seconds off her PR.  She was 32nd overall out of 64 girls.  Her place counted for her team which she was happy about. The boys did good too and finished in second place overall. 

Last weekend

 Last weekend was a busy one. I had the Fort4Fitness, Evelyn had a cross country invitational in Huntington and Jameson had two soccer games in Middlebury. All on Saturday! Friday I spent all afternoon at the F4F expo. The weather was lovely so that was nice. When it was busy, the time passed quickly. When it was slow, there were still enough people that I wasn’t totally bored.  Evelyn had a great run and PR’ed with at time of 14:40.  It was an early morning for them as she had to be at the meet by 8:40. But that was better for us since Jameson’s games were into the afternoon.  I had a decent half marathon. I ran 2:10:30 which is slower than I’d like but I’ve also been dealing with a nagging right knee problem. So I honestly was thankful I could run and run the race without much discomfort.  I was fast enough to get home, shower and eat lunch before we left for soccer. Jameson’s team won the first game 0-1 and tied the second 1-1. He scored both the goals. ...

Futsal

 It’s futsal season. Jameson had his first game tonight. It’s all just intra club fun meant to help the players develop and practice over the winter. Parents only have to help during games with subbing but we also got Evelyn to help run the scoreboard.
