rites of passage

i really can not believe how quickly my boys are growing up - all three of them. fin has gotten very self sufficient and now gets himself dressed all on his own. granted, he needs some help in the "this matches that" department. its a big step for him and he loves picking out what he is going to wear each day. he even sets his clothes out for the next day each night before he goes to bed. the other thing he has learned how to do by himself is turn on the tv and find cartoons - this is not as heartwarming. he has a way of disappearing amid the chaos and tuning out in front of the tv in the basement. we might have to unplug that one else he will soon be a couch potato.

max and keegan are growing up too. today they had their first grilled cheese sandwich! i dont know why this feels like such a big deal to me, but i was so excited that they ate it and seemed to enjoy it. feeding them has been a challenge lately especially since max had this last bug. ever since he has become very particular about what he eats. we had been skating by with the ease of store bought jars of baby food. but now he turns his head away or better yet spits it out all over himself. frankly i will be happy to move away from baby food, but was having a difficult time passing on anything with texture of any sort. we seem to have turned a corner where that is concerned. yay! now if i could just get fin to eat something other than nutters and jelly it will be a good day.
