Out to Dinner

Today was day 2 of the streak and we are well under way!  Was thinking this morning that it seems like just yesterday we were in the middle of last year's streak.  It's crazy how fast this year has gone and how much has changed.  Also can't believe this will be our third year in a row!

As Brad had mentioned this year for my streak I have decided to eat a meal a day with my left hand and walk/run everyday.  Happy to say that I'm off to a good start.  I have eaten my breakfast (yogurt and oatmeal) with my left hand both days and have managed not to make too much of a mess.  Makes me think how difficult it must be for Noah when we have him do what we view as such simple tasks with his right hand.  I was at work today when I received a text message saying what a wonderful OT session he had this morning.  When I read the note tonight I found out that he had eaten his entire yogurt at school with his right hand.  He had his constraint on of course but still managed to do it.  Funny that we were both doing the same thing!

Today was Thursday and I usually try to leave a  little early so that I can pick Noah up from school.  I was able to scoop Noah up and convince Brad to leave a little early too so that we could have a "family dinner."  There is a pizza place close to our house that is great to go to and it's nice to get out for a quick dinner.  Noah is talking up a storm these days and has picked up the phrase "out to dinner."  I let him know of our plans and he was very excited.  We have to be a little careful these days though because he has started asking us frequently "go out to dinner?"  He says is with such an adorable grin it is often hard to say no!  We had our pizza and then headed out for a family walk/run with Noah in his car so that we could complete our streaks for the day.  Exhausted now and getting ready for bed.  Just warming up with this whole blogging thing again and promise my posts will improve as we go along!
