ER

We had friends over for dinner on Saturday night and while the kids were running around, poor Theo had a collision with the living room couch and ended up with a pretty deep gash on his forehead. We had to take him to the ER for stitches. He was really brave and did a great job at the hospital.  He is healing now and we are hoping to have a quiet week.

Best biker and best eater

Theo is doing amazingly well on his new four-year old bike. He can go fast and slow, coast, get started on his own, and use the coaster brakes:

The giant snow piles have finally melted. Yay!

Vivian is the best eater and her repertoire has already surpassed Theo's.  She has been eating cantaloupe, cheese, meatloaf, chicken, pasta, rice cakes, bread, and green beans in addition to all the veggies and fruit she started on last month. She eats a mix of puréed food and finger food.

Ice skating

Theo went ice skating for the first time today and loved it! After he figured it out he was pretty fast skating around with his crates.
