Riley and Avery

Do you know how much the girls love their corn? The big thing for them was that I bought the little corn holder thingies, and now Avery can eat a corn cob without getting her hands dirty (heaven forbid--do you see how daintily she's holding the cob?)

Riley swallowed a button today. She said "Mommy, I made an accident" and I said "What kind of accident?" and she said "I'm not going to tell you" and I said "Did you pee your pants?" and she said "no" and then finally said "I swallowed a button. It went down and now I can't get it back." So I told her that it's alright, swallowing one button is no big deal, and that it'll come out in her poop. Now she's excited about rediscovering the button, and thinks that we'll get it out of her poop. I really don't think that's going to happen, kiddo.

Today was an absolutely fabulous day, weatherwise. We were outside for a good portion of it, bike riding and just wandering around. Avery now likes holding hands, a lot. It's really kind of cute. She also says "ball" regularly, as well as "more." I used to have to prompt her to say "more" but now she does it on her own.

I'm searching for a good zucchini bread recipe. Riley has been asking to bake, and I thought that would be fun for us to do tomorrow. And it'll be a healthier snack that whatever Rudi manages to eat while he's at work.

Hey, a fairly short post today! How about that?
