Woah. Super long time, no post. That work life balance I’m trying to achieve is kicking my tail lately. Does it matter that I have unfinished posts in my draft folder waiting for me to upload photos? No, I know better than that.
Basically, there’s just been a lot of stuff that’s been requiring my attention, and this is pretty far down on my priority list at the moment.
Anyway, no time like the present to do something. So I’ll tell you what makes me feel better about serving Chinese takeout for dinner tonight instead of a home cooked meal:
1. I’m eating dinner with my kids
2. Eli made me realize what fun we could have with chopsticks! On his own, he placed two together and said, “This is a Y”
So I said, What other letters can you make? (open ended)
X!
T!
I!
V! (upside down)
So then I said, Can you make a K? and he said, “I need one more.”
“Now I can make an A!”
I was having so much fun, I accidentally fed this one a few spoonfuls of Springfield style cashew chicken gravy out of the tub I was dipping from in place of the homemade organic baby purée I had prepared for her. Yup, mom of the year, right here 😉
She LOVED it.

Thanks for sharing! Loved watching the record of your experience with them. Exciting times for your memory bank, and more evidence of the promises awaiting you as you nurture them through their childhood. Congrats on your participation in the excitement, and again, thanks for sharing.
