You eat monster sized breakfasts every day. You have about 2-3 snacks per day. You eat an averaged sized lunch. You drink lots of water. You usually have a small dinner that consists mostly of oatmeal or a side of veggies. Occasionally, you will have a full meal, but there’s no rhyme or reason to when that will happen. Lately, I’ve been trying to get you to eat a more substantial and/or nutritious dinner. I’ve played around with some options, but recently you have taken an interest in salads. So I tried this combo of apples, cucumbers, carrots, turkey pastrami, spinach, tomatoes, cheese and a couple of candied walnuts. You loved it, but truth be told, if I just put a block of cheese on the table, you would be happy! Haha! Just trying to keep you interested in your food. I’ve noticed that you get bored of some foods or your palette needs a break from them sometimes. I appreciate your particularity.

Your faves are the trampoline and the monkey bars. You have some serious hang time!

We had lunch with your favorite “second” family…Tia Eli, Gabriel and Sas…today. Gabriel snapped this little gem on our way to the car. Such a sweet moment.

I can’t look away for one minute!

I haven’t been to a certified Doctor in years, but I get regular check ups from Dr. Xol, so I think I’m good.

Lucky us! Tia Eli and Sas came over to spend a day/night with us! The two of you had a blast and Tia and I can’t stop laughing when we’re all together. It was 24 hours of firsts! It was the first time Sas went into a pool! He’s only done kiddie pools before this. He was hesitant, but he did a great job of kicking his feet and playing in the shallow end! Another first was that you swam without any assistance from mom for the first time! Last summer I could barely keep my hands on you! You kept jumping into the water and pushing my hands away so you could do it yourself, but I was (mostly) too scared to let you do it. I let go a couple of times last year, but not for too long. This day, the only thing I did was keep you out of the deep end! You’re turning into a little fish. Let me just say that of course you are wearing floaties. You just turned 3! I’m not crazy! Ok, the last first (follow along) is Sas taking a bath in a big bath for the first time!! We needed to rinse off after swimming and we tossed you and Sas into the bathtub together. He loved it! Such a great time. I’m hoping we see a lot of this action this summer! We love our time with Sas and Tia Eli!
