Big, Strong, and Healfy

Evie: "Skittles make me big, strong, and healfy, Mommy!"

Evie says this about everything she eats. We are trying to teach what really is good and she is learning. The doctor asked her at the three year check up on Monday about her favorite vegetable. She told the doc 'cereal'. I never let the girls eat cereal until Emmaline arrived. I just couldn't get up and make oatmeal, eggs, or gluten free whatever. I had to go the easy route for a while.

Emmaline was in the 68th percentile at her 2 month check up! Go little Em & Em! She is the biggest of all my babes. And hand me down clothing from the sistas is a little on the small side. She is fitting in 3 to 6 month clothing.

Eden can crawl out of her crib. Tonight it was a two hour battle getting her to stay in her room. Ugh! Two hours of me standing by her door, sitting by the door, tossing her back into the crib, disciplining, and then getting laughed at by a 23 month old. Grady had my back and came up when my patience grew thin and I needed reinforcement. He stood outside of her door... she wanted more. We must have put her back in the crib at least 50 times tonight. I really don't think I am exaggerating.

Just got little Emmaline asleep. Ready to crash and start all over. It feels a little ground hoggish around here. Like the movie. Same time every morning, same little pitter patter down the hard floors, same sweet voice singing, "I wake up last night, Mommy. I wuv you, Mommy." Enjoying the sweetness of their beating feet and first phrases.
