<\/a>Eve has started talking up a storm lately. She\n now can put multiple words together to form a cohesive (mostly)
\n thought. A typical Eve statement sounds like, “dinner. yummy.
\n eat it! mommy, eat it!” or “book. couch. read it. READ” She
\n gets bossy sometimes, usually demanding

<\/a> I eat something or read something or sit\n somewhere :) It’s funny. She’s also getting creative, in a
\n silly sort of way. Today she said “doggy, hat, duck!” and I
\n looked down to see her putting doggy on top of the duck, like a
\n hat. Silly girl. Today she was a silly girl in disguise,
\n dressed head to toe in Lex’s old clothes. With the weather
\n starting to get chilly I was thinking about buying her a fall
\n wardrobe, but decided instead to pull out some of the less
\n boyish clothes from storage instead. Today she was sporting the
\n colors! Clemson pants, shirt, and a Syracuse sweatshirt, with
\n his blue hat on top and his old Vans on her feet. Lots of kids
\n on the playground were calling her a boy. :) I told them she
\n was a girl in disguise!
\n (the hat in the picture is an infant halloween “cat” hat that
\n Eve found in the box of old clothes. she pulled it out and put
\n it on and has been wearing since. it barely fits, kind of like
\n a scull cap. funny.)<\/span><\/p>\n
On the
\n Lex front, I’m about to jinx myself by finishing this
\n paragraph. I very hesitantly will say that we’ve made it
\n through the sleep battles, for the most part. He doesn’t nap
\n every day anymore and I think my allowing that has done a lot
\n to ease the battles. When he does nap it’s usually pretty easy
\n and he doesn’t argue much. Most nights are fairly easy too,
\n with just a drink request or so, no kicking and screaming. Yay!
\n I’ve also been able to get him to try what’s served for dinner
\n the past few nights! This is a big accomplishment in our
\n house… ok, in my mind anyway. I started trying to get him to
\n take a “no thank you bite” as recommended by Dr. Shu, our
\n favorite pediatrician. In the past he has flat out refused, but
\n lately he’s been more agreeable. Last night he tasted tofu and
\n went back for a few more bites. Tonight he tasted the corn
\n (which he used to love!) and finished what I served him and
\n helped himself to more from the dish! He tried the beans too
\n (burritos for dinner) and said he liked them, but didn’t eat
\n much. But he tasted them and that’s a big accomplishment these
\n days!! <\/p>\n
I think so far three has been a
\n good age. He is very cooperative, friendly, funny, and sweet.
\n He likes to talk to people now and he’s starting to understand
\n people’s feelings and care. He always asks us of we are happy.
\n “Daddy, are you happy now?” “Mommy, are you tired? Do you need
\n some tea?” It’s sweet. And he’s an endless source of hugs, most
\n of the time. :) It’s a good age. And, of course, one is always
\n an adorable, silly age. We have fun these days.<\/p>\n
We also had a great weekend with a visit from
\n Jim, Julie, and baby Molly. We went apple picking. I have lots
\n of great pics that I’ll post later… tomorrow maybe. We’ll see

Lots going on these days. Well, lots from a kid development standpoint, not really from an activity standpoint. But the kid stuff is more interesting anyway :) Eve has started talking up a storm lately. She now can put multiple … Continue reading
