Homemade lunchables: crackers, carrots, ham, and cheese. Green grapes and apple pears. Simon said he really liked this lunch and wanted it again tomorrow. He didn’t realize it was to make cracker sandwiches though so he said he would do it tomorrow. He also didn’t eat the fruit until I picked him up from school and ate it as a big snack.

Little girl loves so stand but not willing to take her first step just yet.

Simon was having fun inside his fold up tent.

He made Iris laugh out loud by playing peek-a-boo with her.

I love Iris’ random expressions… this one is sort of confused?

I think we must still be out of sorts from our weekend away. Iris has been waking up whining and wanting to be held, kind of tired, and sort of wanting to go back to sleep. Today I had to occupy her for 10 minutes while I was getting dressed. I let her watch some Sesame Street and play with an empty San Pellegrino water bottle.

She still wasn’t really happy.

Good thing I brought pastries in Chinatown yesterday so didn’t have to do much for Simon’s lunch. Just packed two mini hot dog buns, carrots, apple pear, and strawberries.

Relaxing on the sofa together.

Iris is in the mood where she prefers to move about on her own rather than being held ALL the time. She was wriggling to get out of my arms this morning so that she could try standing with support.

Simon had a better rest last night so wanted to go to school today. For lunch he had chicken nuggets, carrots, a fruit salad of mango, strawberries, and blueberries and two gummi bears. He almost finished everything except for a carrot. I was actually surprised he ate all the blueberries since he doesn’t usually request them but he recently said he liked them again. They used to be his favorite when he was a baby.

In the evening, Simon and Iris played with Duplos. Iris really just wanted to knock down everything we were building. I built a house and Simon built our cars, the sun, and all of us (Mommy, Daddy, Simon, Iris, and Annie). He even made us different heights like we are in real life.

Happy or Sad?

Happy! Let’s go to a masquerade ball!

I don’t know why Kermit the Frog says it is not easy being green… Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Simon was too tired after our weekend trip to Lake Tahoe so really wanted to stay home from school today. He was a really good boy according to Annie. He ate a good lunch, played with Iris and kept quiet when Iris was sleeping, and just rested at home. He didn’t take a nap so was a little irritable in the evening but overall had a good day. These days, Simon has gotten into the habit of “doing work” before he is allowed to do something fun like watching TV. Work usually involves practicing writing or drawing. He did some coloring and drew the pictures below. They are of him riding on a scooter and Caden writing on a scooter. Caden is smaller since he is younger. I thought it was so cute.
