Just a little peek into our dining world. First of all, you will notice that there are two vehicles on the table. One is "watching" Thomas eat, and the other is "watching" Lily. Thomas has had someone watching him eat, as he calls it, for about a year or so now. We only allow one vehicle on the table, but our smart little guy has figured out that if he has one for Lily, we will let him have two. We are suckers for anything where he shares with his little sister. Also, you will see Lily's red flower in her hair. She likes to wait until her hands are super sticky, then decides to take her bow out of her hair while she is eating. So, now she has this red "highchair bow" that we switch for every meal and snack. Thomas was allowed to have fruit snacks today, which has become a rare treat, so he had a great day.
The Sunday after Jeremy got back from Japan, he decided we should go somewhere for some family time. We went to Woods Bay State Park about 30 minutes south of Florence. It is a swampy area with black water, snakes, alligators, and no rails on the boardwalk. I'm sure you can guess how I felt about it with two young kids. You can also tell how unsure Thomas was of the situation if you notice that he doesn't seem to ever take his eyes off the water. We didn't stay long because the bugs were pretty bad and the trails weren't stroller friendly. Still a great day, though. We were just so incredibly happy to be our family of four again.
