Littles

My littles are basically eating the same things these days. Trix has decided that she doesn't like puree food and that whatever Vinny eats is much more interesting. So here she is eating apples and cucumbers, just like Vin. Mind you, she only has about 23% of her two bottom teeth, and nothing else to work with. But she manages.

Sharing a snack.

Looking at this picture I can really see Vin's luscious mullet flowing in the breeze. It took so long to get here, I just don't have the heart to cut it yet. But I think the time is getting near.

Today was a good day. Vin hopped into our bed at about 5:30 this morning, Elsie was already there, so it wasn't long before we all grunted our way out of the bed to start our day. Vin and I headed to the bathroom to continue his face washing/teeth brushing/hair brushing routine. We three headed to kindergarten early and I dropped the boy off by 7:30. Grocery shopping, house cleaning, lunch at the UN, Vin picking up, more house cleaning, picture drawing, piano playing, song singing, bread making, dinner eating, bath taking, book reading and here we are.

Vin even earned a lollypop for being extra nice to his sister today (i.e. kicking her in the stomach and back instead of directly in the face). Baby steps.

Things are going great in the sleep training department. Vin gets out of bed from 0-3 times before settling down for an entire night's sleep. And, great news for me, after 4 days in bed with a 104 degree fever, I was able to rest enough for my back to repair itself and now I feel amazing. I guess all I needed was some rest, and I don't mind at all that it took a debilitating fever for me to get it.
