At Super A’s two year check-up they asked if he was “socializing with others”. I said “yes”. Taste Testing with Little J. Taste Testing. Perhaps you’d like some grapes? Or some bananas? And some more proof. Exhaustion. After running around and playing for two hours, Super A and Miss G decided it was time to [...]

On Friday we went to our monthly play group. This month we had a Halloween themed play group at my friend Jennifer’s house. The treats were so adorable! Super A had a good time once he actually decided to stop hiding in my lap. Many of our friends have girls and Super A is always [...]

Super A certainly has many of his Daddy’s qualities (inquisitiveness, strong attention to details, doesn’t like getting sticky food on his hands), and happily he carries some of mine as well (loves craft projects, talks constantly) and he dances. And dances. And dances. See: And see: And so let’s dance through all the things Super [...]

This is a bit of a spin-off of a recipe that my mother-in-law gave me from allrecipes.com. I added peas, cut out the onions, and use sharp white cheddar cheese. Super A didn’t like the potatoes particularly, but he ate up the peas! Ham and Cheese Potato Gratin (3-4 servings as a main dish) Ingredients [...]
