No "More Ovaltine, Please!"


Our boys, never lovers of plain white milk, have developed a loooooove for Ovaltine. At our visit to the pediatrician this week I was encouraged to get them off the Ovaltine. I've been thinking about it for a while - the extra sugar we could certainly live without. Anyway, I'm happy to report we're about four days without Ovaltine and doing just fine. Every morning Tate says, "Teen please" but he still is able to live with the plain white milk.



In addition, we were told to get Eben off his sippy cup. Oh how that boy loves his sippy cups! But, once again, he's impressed and surprised me with his ability to LET GO. Oh, also, can't fail to mention that Eben's finally reached roller coaster height - 42 inches!

Catching up: Tyler on a bike!


Finally we got Tyler on a bike! Thanks Dad-dad and Gamma for an awesome first bike! Tyler hasn't been on a bike at all in about a year. We really felt like it was time for her to get on one without training wheels but she was pretty hesitant at first. But, taking advantage of lots of bike riding space at my parent's house, Scott got her on that bike and now she's good to go. Tyler has a great work ethic - if she has a goal in mind, she will fight to reach it. More pictures and/or video to come!
