Windy day

Today we spent the day in CT with fam @ the beach. Windy but beautiful. I like to call it exfoliation weather. Nothing like washing sand out of your pores at night.


I cannot believe that I am halfway thru with this pregnancy. Today Vail said it was a boy. She's been wavering. First she said it was a boy named Jack. Then a girl. Now a boy named Mr. Froggy. I suppose there are worse names out there than Mr. Froggy. But still, I don't think any self respecting Kindergarter would want to say that there name was Mr. Froggy...

oops, I forgot that I blog

Hmm, I think I'm supposed to keep this up to date. Ahh, almost August. Promise to be more diligent.

Planning Vail's birthday party. What fun. She wanted it at a gym, which really threw me off, but I think I found an opportunity at Riverside Kids. Nothing like throwing a Princess Party at the gym. Oh, she really wants an M&M's party, but I told her that we could have M&M's as the favors and showed her the adorable Princess M&Ms on their website. So cute. I think we just may have it ready to go...

At least she eats

So sitting with a bunch of moms yesterday while Vail was off doing her gymnastics birthday party thing, I had to smile. Moms talked about how their children slept fourteen hours (what??), how they still use their pacifiers (at 3 and 4 years of age) for sleeping, how they had surgeries for crazy stomach ailments, $25 formula (per container). My word. So I am thankful that even if she doesn't yet sleep through every night, at least she eats.

Most of the time.

Last night:

Presidential chicken
Carrots with brown sugar
Corn souffle.

Vail remarks that the "Corn doesn't smell that bad" and that she'll try it. She ate the corn. One bite of the carrots and out they came. They weren't going in. Chicken, she told Marmee she'd rather have chicken nuggets. Sorry baby, its just not your way anymore. Eat the chicken. Two bites of chicken.

That's it.

This morning, she ate two whole eggs. I'm sure she was famished. She'll get it eventually.

Oh, and the corn souffle was amazing. Thanks, Mom.
