Kid Milestones

We've started doing a few "big kid" things lately that I wanted to share!

With all the rainy weather we had the last few weeks, the kids pretty quickly tuned into the novelty of Mommy's rainboots. Now Zoe wants to wear my shoes all the time! Since the warmer weather is finally here she likes to put on my sandals and walk (slide) across the entire room!


S&Z have been using silverware to eat all their meals for the last several months. Today was the first time that they ate cold cereal with milk. They typically eat oatmeal for breakfast, but I decided to give cheerios a go today. They love eating spoonfuls of cold cereal from Daddy's bowl so it wasn't a preference factor - it was more a matter of how messy it would be!. As expected, they loved it (although you don't quite get that impression from the look on Miss Z's face below)! Next stop: pour their own cereal and watch cartoons while Mommy & Daddy sleep in (yea right!!!).




Both kids love bubbles. With A LOT of persistence and determination, Zoe figured out how to control her breath in order to consistently blow them herself last Friday. Now she's a pro!!!









They are doing so much fun new stuff these days! They turn 20 months next weekend!

Silas' Blog

Well it's been a busy 3 years since I last posted! Stay tuned as we may have more posts coming now that it looks like I have a new contributor... Silas recently read a book called "Starting Your Own Blog", and now he is bound and determined for us to let him start his own blog! We convinced him that he should start out by drafting content and a posting calendar. We made templates this morning and he wrote his first "post" today!

Today

Today I went to a yoga class for the first time in far too many years. It felt wonderful and pushed me out of my comfort zone. I can't wait to go back! Today Derek gave Silas his traditional mid-summer haircut. Today the weather was perfect and we enjoyed bike rides (them) / a walk (me) in the park after lunch. Today Zoe chased the cats until they succumbed to her love and adoration. Today I put the garbage on the curb for weekly pickup and realized that we didn't have any! We recycle and compost far more than we throw away. I am grateful to be able to teach Zoe & Silas these habits. Empty trash barrel Countertop compost bin  Backyard compost bin that we bought at Town Hall Food compost, including the hair from Silas' haircut today! Today I checked on the rooftop vegetable patio garden - it's doing great! Today we went school supply shopping so that I can enjoy the last month of summer without worrying abou...

The context for this post is that S&Z started two weeks of daily swimming lessons in the outdoor town pool on Monday. The beginning of this week also happened to start with two of the coldest days of the summer!
