Ben's First Day of Preschool

She Said (First Words)...

Okay, so I’ll admit, I’m a little envious.  Kate is such a mommy’s girl.  And, I’m the one who feeds her an unlimited supply of milk.  And, I’m the one who gets up with her in the middle of the night and rocks her back to sleep...sometimes more than once or twice.  Kate has been babbling those sweet sounds every father wants to hear for a week or two now.  But last night, when Boris got home, Kate looked into his eyes and said:

Kate: "Dadadadada”

Snacktime With Daddy

My dad took Ben skiing yesterday morning and Kate got to spend some rare time alone with both Boris and I.

Mix Tape - What Would I Do Without You

This song played at the end of a recent episode of How I Met Your Mother and has been on repeat ever since...

Lunch With Little Ones - Asparagus Soup and Crackers

Last week I made Asparagus Soup for dinner (I used white asparagus instead of green).  Ben and I finished off the leftover soup for lunch throughout the week alongside soda crackers and fresh veggies.  This lunch wasn’t a hard sell.  Luckily, one of Ben’s favorite food groups is vegetables.  They often disappear from his plate first.  He loves dipping whole wheat crackers in his soup, then slurping up the rest.  It was the perfect lunch our cold and snowy weather.

Snow

This morning we traded in our cold weather for freshly fallen snow so I thought it would be appropriate to share one of our new favorite children's books...

Snow by Uri Shulevitz

Snowflakes keep coming and coming and coming,

circling and swirling,

spinning and twirling, 

dancing, playing,

there, and there,

floating, floating through the air,

falling, falling everywhere.
