Treats from Nana

My mom was visiting this weekend and brought a quilt for Miles to use on his bed. Remember this one? It is still on Miles' bedroom wall-too nice to roll around on! Nana outdid herself again. I am in love with this quilt and I think Miles is pretty happy with it too. There are animals, letters, stars and lots of marbles (aka: balls!!). I think the size will be perfect for quite some time. Thanks Nana!!

Green smoothie

Before.....

....and after!

So far, this is really the only way we can get vegetables into this kid. He is getting a tad more adventurous with sampling in the last week or so. He tried a cucumber AND a stuffed mushroom. Unfortunately, they didn't stay in his mouth too long, but hey, it's a start!

Guess I can't get too mad at them

....they do put up with a lot!

Oh the joy!

This scene took place a few nights ago after dinner. If only I could remember how much fun it is to run. Miles is a great teacher though, so there's hope for me yet!

Ring-a-Round a Rosie

I was a little leery of this nursery rhyme because I'd heard it was actually about the Black Plague--um, disturbing. However, a little research on the 'ole trusty internet yielded enough sites (including my favorite: Snopes) pooh-pooing this idea and I'm going to run with it! Besides, I cannot resist the joy he gets from spinning around and hitting the ground and it's nice to have a cheerful (as I now choose to believe) song to go with it.
