Veggies
Gillian loves vegetables. Every night at dinner she eats her veggies first. And she always asks for second helpings. Tonight she didn’t even bother to put the veggies on her plate.

The island
I have a kitchen island that on occasion I will have Gillian sit on to tell me about her day. It is the perfect height so I can look her in the eye as we are talking. This week while I was making dinner, I turned around and there she was sitting on the island. … Continue reading The island
Dancing
We went out to dinner tonight. We sat next to the window and throughout the meal, John danced in his seat and watched his own reflection in the window. It took me a couple tries but I got it on video.
The calculator
Tonight I picked up Gillian from Time Plus then we went to pick up John. Gillian immediately ran over to one of John’s Time Plus teachers (she always gives Gillian coloring sheets or projects to do at home). While Gillian was distracted John ran past me to get his backpack. I noticed he was holding… Continue reading The calculator
The Oreo
I taught John the proper way to eat Oreos tonight. He caught on very quickly and was very happy with the result.
Owls and Sharks
Yesterday Gillian told us “We learned about owls today. And did you know owls sleep during the day and are awake at the night time?” I asked her “Do you know what that is called?” She said “Ummm, I think so.” But before she could think of it John shouted “Nocturnal. It’s nocturnal, Gill.” She… Continue reading Owls and Sharks
Ice Cream
Last night at dinner, Gillian and John had ice cream for dessert. The waiter brought out these huge sundae glasses full of ice cream. John wasn’t able to finish his vanilla. But Gillian housed hers. And she didn’t miss a drop. Plus she didn’t make a mess!
The Riddle
Tonight at dinner, John said “Wanna hear a riddle?” Daddy and I both said “Of course!” John says “What house has no doors and no windows and a star in the middle?” Daddy and I looked at each other. Both of us were clueless. Daddy said “John, I don’t know.” He said “An apple. Cause… Continue reading The Riddle
Dinner
Dinner at our house is always an adventure. Gillian insists on having a spoon at every meal. It’s really annoying, but I allow it because she eats. Last night, we had pasta and chicken. I cut up the pasta so it was easier for her to eat. She had a hard time getting it on… Continue reading Dinner
The meatball
I made meatballs and pasta for dinner tonight. I served everyone their dinner and we proceeded with talking about our day. I watched John help himself to seconds and I saw him make sure he got two extra meatballs. Gillian asked me “Mama, can I have another meatball?” I said “Sorry, Johnny got the rest… Continue reading The meatball
