Today was a day. Owen was sick again (his fever came back with a vengeance), Margie had to cancel, and it was just one of those days when the whole just-barely-holding-it-all-together life that we have going here felt like it was teetering on the edge of complete collapse. Suffice it to say, it was a tough day. But as the hours moved forward (and Owen’s appointment with the pediatrician assured us that he is going to be o.k.), the day got better and better. And by 5:00 it felt like all was o.k. again. Funny how that is. The ups and downs of it all. Anyway… The boys have no school tomorrow (Parent Teacher Conferences), so –treat! treat!– they got to watch Curious George tonight when I was making dinner. And oh what a special dinner it was!!!– to try to lift the spirits of two cranky boys just coming off of a week of Owen being sick (I don’t know about other twins, but when one of these twins is sick it absolutely wreaks havoc on both of them), and to try to tempt Owen to eat something substantial, I made them their favorite: Chicken & Pasta in a Creamy Pesto Sauce. While Braydon, Meera, and I waited in the kitchen for the Curious George fest to end in the family room, Little Miss got her very first taste of the Creamy Pesto that her brothers love so. And now, it is official; we’re batting 3 for 3; Little Miss loves it just as much as her big bro’s. Once dinner was served she proceeded to eat what Braydon referred to as “a healthy toddler sized portion” of Creamy Pesto pasta. These photos, which I think are some of my favorites ever of Meera, were taken while she had her first tastes in the kitchen. I know I’m seriously biased, but seriously, I think she is seriously cute!
