The girls & I went to see the Houston Ballet's production of Cinderella. Unfortunately, we forgot to take our picture before we went out and Henry insisted on being in our picture when we met up for dinner. Sarah was upset (can you tell?) that he was not dressed appropriately for the picture. He "ruined" the picture.

Henry had his first playdate this morning with his friend from preschool. His friend is also the third child and it was his first playdate, too (I think his mom & I both felt relieved to find out this commonality!). Henry and Z. had a great time although they didn't spend too much time playing in the same areas (what can you expect, they are two!). It was obvious that they were excited to see each other each time though which was nice for me to observe since the girls are usually shy to start and Henry just jumped right in!
I had an MRI on Wednesday and the doctor called today with the results: a stress fracture + the ITBS. He said I could run the marathon if if I want but I need to take 6-8 weeks off either starting now or after the marathon. I had a fairly decent run last week, but I'm still not running as well as I was before the injury. I need to make a decision. I know the right choice is to sit it out, but it's so close! I also don't want to have a lame first marathon experience by not running it as well as I know I can. I also don't want to miss out! It might be time to consult a magic eight ball...
Henry gets pretty mad on the days he doesn't go to school and his lunch box isn't on the counter with the other two boxes. (He only goes one day each week, so you'd think he'd be used to this routine by now!) I should also note that I always put their lunches in the same order and their plates at mealtime so that I can pack/prepare without too much thought. Henry's all the way on the left, working up to the right in age order (I put Craig's, then mine when I'm assembling something for all of us).
