kids

So Jacob made me Grits this morning while I and Claire slept-in (she decided to be awake crying for an hour + last night until I finally gave-up and nursed her.)
Anyways I was slow getting to it after he left, because of cramps. When I finally did go to breakfast, this is what I found

she ate/put on the floor all my cereal. Which actually made me happy because she was being cute, didn't break the ceramic bowl, and had fed herself. I decided to eat my son's leftover yogurt, but, no, she got in my lap and ate that too :-).
The big news this week is that Jonathan swam all by himself, with just flippers and goggles from a platform and back at swim class! This is a big achievement for him, because he has a borderline phobia of getting water in his eyes, ear and/or nose.
I am so happy with my children. They are very different in their temperaments and strengths, but are both so loving and kind. I am a very blessed mother.
 Oh, in other news, we have a squirrel that likes to sit outside the kids window, it is an ugly squirrel.
