Carrots

We caught a pic of our baby girl sucking on a carrot which she seemed to enjoy. However, we did officially start our babe on butternut squash this week and she hasn't been loving it :( She is so funny and too smart when it comes to meal time. The second she sees that spoon coming towards her she tightens her lips together and if you are lucky enough to sneak in a bite she spits it out everywhere. I feel like I need to wear a bib too at times. The same response is triggered with her rice cereal. I hope this is just a short learning curve in the lesson of eating solids.

First Day of Preschool

I'm sure every parent says this but, I can't believe Ethan started preschool this week. My baby boy is growing up. Well, enough tears now, this has been great for my busy man. He already knew several friends from church so that made the transition easier for him. His sweet teachers and the fun toys helped too. Throughout the week I have said things like, "Get some rest tonight because you have school tomorrow" and his reply was, "Again !" or "Bring me your lunch box so that I can clean it for school tomorrow" and his reply, "Again !" I think he just thought going to school would be just a one time thing like visiting the zoo. Well, we will see how it goes. As for Alex and I, it is nice to get on a schedule and for my baby girl to actually take a nap without big brother waking her every 10 minutes. Here's to the school year.
