Well its official...we are VCU fans! At least till the tournament ends!
In a city that really could care less about the tournament or college basketball for that matter, its been kind of fun to have all this hype. Things have been going crazy around here since we had TWO teams in the Sweet Sixteen! But now all attention has fallen on VCU! When they won this weekend, they had a huge party for them at the Siegel Center and they've had all these parties in the streets.
So the black and gold is coming out of the woodworks! Flags are flying, stickers on the cars, tshirts galore, foam fingers. Even my husband wore yellow yesterday and I totally called him out on it! I mean, of all people, I would never expect him to ride the bandwagon! I guess we'll be hitting the store to get our own memorabilia pretty soon!
Go Rams!
I guess by the look of this face, I should've known Caleb would be my picky eater. This is a picture of his first food, after cereal, which was carrots. His face was priceless and we all laughed. Well two years later, he is still making faces and rejecting most foods. Now, I realize that there are many kids out there worse than he, but it has really been a battle for us.
His food of choice...carbs! Crackers, bread, toast, waffles, pizza, spaghetti. He also loves fruit, cheese, chicken nuggets (not any kind of chicken), and that's about it! Forget veggies, mac and cheese, eggs, any other meat, rice, potatoes, anything foreign. I think the thing that bugged me the most was the doctor and other "experts" said keep offering a variety and he will like something. But he wouldn't even try things! And that got under my skin!
Anyway, now at almost three, Caleb decided that he wants to start trying things! He had mac and cheese the other day and he loved it! He tried pineapple and loved it! He had a little bit of Daddy's grilled chicken last nice, and, oh, decided to try couscous...and like it! This is one happy mommy! Its baby steps we are taking - no green bean was touched last night - but I am happy. And you know what, so is my boy! He isn't stressed when he comes to the dinner table, he's happy!
I am almost speechless when I look at these pictures. I cannot explain to you the sweetness that this little girl is. She is everything I wanted and imagined in my little girl. She is a delight to have toddling around the house playing with babies and balls.
She is kind.
She is tender-hearted.
She is loving.
She is generous.
She is goofy.
She is smart.
She is talkative.
She is girly.
She is tough.
She is sensitive.
She is beautiful.
She is my daughter!
Last weekend Micah and Ed had a man's night with some other friends. They went to a monster truck show! They went out to eat at Cici's Pizza and then headed over to the Coliseum for the show. Micah came home so excited and talking all about it. His favorite was the motorbikes they did at the end. (He would LOVE a bmx show!) They had a great time, and I enjoyed hearing Ed's commentary of it as well. I especially liked hearing of the drunk guy who approached Micah, and Ed's readiness to punch the heck out of him! You could say the show was a little "red" as they say! But in a little boy's mind, it was glorious.
