Short Week

This was a short week for us. Both John and I are off Friday so we can head up to Oklahoma when Mara gets out of school on Friday.

While Jack had a new car seat for the van, we still needed to get one for John's car. Since Jack's school is on my way to and from work, he doesn't ride in John's car all that much. So, we decided to go with a cheaper alternative that comes highly recommended. I picked it up at Wal-Mart tonight, and now we just need to get it installed in John's car.

Last night, Mara had to draw two animals and circle the things that were similar to turn in for her homework today. She decided to draw a mommy and baby elephant and circled their ears, trunks, tufted tails, and toes. We were proud of her drawing and even happier that the teacher wrote "Wow!" on it.

Jack tried apples (actually all natural applesauce) for the first time tonight. I think he liked it, but just like most other foods he's tried, he doesn't open his mouth and beg for more. He still eats some, though. I think he just doesn't want any of the bland, pureed stuff.

Jack was having fun blowing raspberries as we tried to feed him green beans tonight. He had a lot of fun making a mess, but he ate really well. Maybe we need to let him play with his food more in order to get him to eat more.
