Busy day for M

M's been a busy boy today. He had a pool party with the youth group from church - went great. I didn't get lost getting there, we carpooled with another boy so I only had to drive one way, it only threatened rain during the party, they fed him lunch.

Then after an hour or so at home, he was off to spend the night with a friend. I told M several times in the last few days that he needs to actually sleep this time. Last time he spent the night with E he had a problem with sleep. He claimed then not to have slept, now he claims he did, but obviously not enough. He'd better not be a zombie tomorrow or we'll have to rethink sleepovers at E's house.

While M is away, we had a non M-friendly dinner. It was going to be an Indian dal dish, but it turns out that it took too long to cook, so D says he'll fix it another time. Instead we had loaded baked potatoes. Quite tasty and easy. A thought they were good too. Oh, and corn on the cob, which M would have liked. I cooked one extra which I plan on splitting between M and A another night. Maybe M can eat it a bit better now that he has gotten the braces off his top teeth. I've been trying to get a picture of the teeth sans braces, but no luck so far...
