Jonathan: He had his first official day of preschool today! I made him a Schultute to celebrate his first day. He was really excited about going, even when we got to school. But, once we got inside, he was perhaps a little overwhelmed by the attention and newness of it all, and he cowered behind my leg. Mora Faygi asked him to color some shoes, which he wasn't into, but he was more interested in exploring some puzzles, and I made my escape. When I picked him up, he hid in the doorway, not wanting to go home! So, that is a grand success in my book!!
I'm not quite sure why his nap was a flop today; I thought he'd be exhausted, but he was not. And, as has become the trend, dinner is pure torture and drags out for 30 minutes of him wanting to be fed or just sitting there whining. At about 2 minutes until time, he said he just wanted to go to bed; I don't know if that came out organically or if he was just repeating what I had been saying. Off to bed he went with me steamed. So, tonight he basically had one bite of chicken/broccoli/noodle casserole (which he has weekly!). I think I'm going to cut dinner down to 20 minutes, for my own sanity.
Elise: While her big brother was in school, we continued with her study participation at Rutgers. But, more exciting, she had her first official solid meal today -- breast milk and cereal -- for dinner. While she technically had banana and applesauce at Oma and Opa's house yesterday, this counts as the first meal (photos are of both 'meals'). She gobbled it down like a champ and barely made a mess! I don't recall how much to give in the early stages, so I actually had to cut her off.
Just goofing around:
