BOOBS!

I saw this bumber sticker at the store the other day and it made me chuckle...and it kind of made me feel like being more pro active for a cause. Sometimes it just takes something a little off color to really get my attention.

Picky Eater or Food Critic in the Making?

This morning I couldn't get Abby to eat her breakfast because it was ugly, or "ug-a-lee" as she puts it. Could it be that that she has a delicate palate for gourmet cuisine or maybe she's just 3.
I suppose I can try harder tomorrow to make her food more...presentable.

School Days

August 16th marked a day of firsts. It was the first day of school for our first daughter. She got a new alarm clock (taped to her upper bunk so as not to knock out her sister on the lower bunk), spiffy new shoes and adorable new clothes to accommodate her rapidly growing up. She was very excited for school and did pretty well. There were no tears (and mine were dry by the time I reached the car after leaving her classroom.) She even decided to go back today so all is well.

She said her favorite thing was getting to eat lunch in the big cafeteria. She felt very grown up. She can't wait to go to the library. My baby is growing up too fast--we missed her all day long.

I'm glad she liked school and hope that she holds on to this kind of enthusiasm for the next 16 years.

(I think she liked her after school snacking part the most!)
