So, I'm sitting at the table watching Lily have a defiant moment regarding her food. (We call it 'Refuse-a-lating'). I had flashbacks of sitting at the kitchen table growing up watching Carole Odom (nee Frank) have similar episodes. Really, the resemblance in form and function is striking! Just as I got back with my camera, I got one pic of her thrashing (1st pic above) and then she ate it! Then she liked it! Hey, Mikey!
We had a blast! It was the kids' first time at the beach, Lily's birthday, Father's Day, and our Anniversary (12 years!) all on the same weekend. Woohoo!
The kids had a wild time, but they didn't like the actual beach very much. They didn't want to have anything to do with the water, and only played a little in the sand. We made them sit out there some anyway. They mostly loved the pools!
Early on Jack's first birthday, he got to eat at the "kid's table" for the first time! Shirley got to be the referee, and a good time was had by all. Then he got to go on a (cold) walk. Well, he strolled, Big Jack, Paul, and Cindy walked. Don't you like his hat?
Now that Jack is bigger, he likes to roll onto his stomach when he wakes up. Cindy and I will go into his room to find him doing a push-up and peeking out over the bumper pad to see what's going on.
