Monday morning. Raina had cheerios and milk and some cinnamon toast and some apple juice. She was a good girl. Liam had a little blueberry oatmeal, cheerios, toast and some apple juice. I asked Brian not to give them juice before they came and they ate breakfast better...tummies not full of sugary juice.

Raina helped bake brownies and do the the laundry. Liam played outside with grandpa and Raina joined them later. Now we are working on bread and Raina is going to play on the computer at the

Barney place.

For lunch we had green beans, fresh from the garden and steamed. Also bacon (I used some to make a big pot of bean soup which is simmering away the afternoon) and bread and butter and applesauce and Liam had red jello, but Raina wouldn't try it. She had peanut butter on some bread instead of butter.

Daddy stopped by with the big truck and Liam went ballistic. He really wants to ride in it. He had a very sticky diaper, but Raina is yet to....

Now they are building with blocks. Liam can get 4 high if no one bothers him (ie, if Raina doesn't try to grab one away)

We are working on no high pitched yelling. We say Shhhhhh and talk softly to him. I don't know how successful we'll be, but he needs to talk instead of scream for grandparent sanity.
