Life in all its intricacies

Some things my son will eat for dinner:

• steamed broccoli
• corn on the cob
• mashed potato
• pasta of any sort
• mild cheddar cheese by the truckload

Things he will not eat for dinner:

• any other cooked vegetable
• salad vegetables
• stews, chilli, curries
• someone else's leftovers that haven't even been germified for goodness sake

Things my three year old obsesses over:

• tv time
• chapstick
• nail polish
• juice
• receipts
• taking baths with the baby

Things my seven year old wishes she could do:

• wear glasses
• wear makeup
• reach the top shelf where we hide sweets and biscuits
• stay up later than the other kids
• speak French fluently

Habits my 5 month old has fallen into:

• forgetting she can roll from her stomach to her back, getting stuck and needing rescuing
• sleeping for 20 minutes every evening about an hour before bedtime (gathering strength, I guess?)
• pushing herself backwards across the room while blowing raspberries into the carpet
• smiling at everything but laughing at only her biggest sister, no matter how hard I try!
• eating paper whenever she can
• catching all the little colds going around this autumn (sigh)

I've been working on a few things these past months, especially Christmas gifts for the kids. I'll update with pictures soon!
