perspective
I used to think it was really gross when other people's kids drooled or spit up in public.
Yesterday, after doing chores, I realized I was still wearing a shirt with baby poop on it that Lydia had graced me with over an hour earlier. Yuck.

Super Sundays
We love Sundays. Everybody is home and we get to do all sorts of fun stuff together. Micah is really into family time now. It's fun when Mom is home with him during the week, but it's best when Dad comes home at the end of the day and we can have family hugs, family sticker time, family drive cars time, etc. These are a few of our favorite moments from this weekend...starting with Micah's new sticker location (as suggested by Grandma Jane (now referred to as "Ku" (the word Micah has given to anything that flies, which now includes Grandma)). We are working on trying to get those grandparent names down before we come home this summer. We'll see how we do.
Micah is winning the skinniest member of our family contest, but he's also winning the wildest adventurer contest...so I guess I need to start baking more...and somehow quit eating all the batter. (PS - at this stage of mommiehood, I have now rated pre-baking yummies in this order: cornbread batter, cake batter, cookie dough, pancake batter. Really, pancake batter is not that good at all, even when you add fresh strawberries. It is much better as a final product.)
And...somebody told me you take less photos of your second child. I must be out to prove them wrong, as our photo snapping seems to have increased since Lydia's arrival!
Wahoo! A successful toothbrushing activity! Thanks for the singing toothbrush Grandma Ginny!

Preschooler food success!
Mom brought a genius cookbook: Deceptively Delicious by Jessica Seinfeld. I made peanut butter, banana muffins with carrots hidden inside....and Micah & Rick had to be cut off so that they would last two days! This is the first dinner in a long time that Micah didn't mind eating with his hands and eating crumb after crumb off the table!
