Day 3 of 3 hour rehearsals for Trevor and Nathan (and their castmates!) for their Musical performance. Thankfully we have tomorrow evening off, which will give us a little bit of time to work on their baseball skills (after speech therapy) since I just happened to see on-line that Trevor and Jackson have maditory baseball assessments this Saturday morning...BEFORE the Musical.
From this past Saturday to this Saturday alone, Trevor and Nathan will have put in 27 hours towards rehearsals and/or performances for the Seussical!!! Everyone is a little touchy and will cry or scream at each other over the slightest thing (but not sure how different that is than on a "typical" day). Jackson taking baths at night...solo...Trevor and Nathan taking a bath in the mornings before school. Tonight they had dinner at 3:45 pm (a record for us...or just about anybody!!!) and then they had a pretty good size snack right afterwards. They don't get food breaks during rehearsals so that's why you've gotta pack it in them before and after. Believe me, they're working so hard so they're extra hungry by the time I get them at 7:45 pm!
I gave both boys' teachers a heads up of their crazy schedule just to give them a little perspective if they fall asleep in the middle of math or carpet time. Thankfully, both teachers are very supportive and excited for their student to be part of a really cool opportunity and cast. I am very grateful.
Tomorrow, Nathan has his GI appointment and it couldn't have come at a better time. In the midst of writing this blog, I heard what I thought was Nathan choking and then coughing. David and I hauled butt in his room. I am certain (sadly, I remember what it sounded like for him as a baby) that Nathan refluxed at that moment and did choke on it a little. I woke Nathan slightly to be sure he was OK. He was/is.
On that note, I must catch some zzzzz's so I don't start crying when the boys start crying tomorrow...for no good reason! lol
