Our Generation Vol. 1 No. 19 Back to the Grind

This week was busy, busy, busy as we all went back to work and school.

Ben News:
Ben started his first week at SSPC and welcomed the transition better than we could have hoped! His teacher Ms. Mary loves how easy going he is and that he loves to smile, snuggle, laugh and cuddle. One thing we've noticed he likes doing at "school" is eat, eat, eat! The boy simply can't get enough and while one day he was nicknamed "Ben Bear", the next was "Mr. Eating Machine".

Here's what he's been eating (and not just one meal... 3 meals a day!)
rice cereal
oatmeal
multi-grain cereal
pears
apples
sweet potatoes
bananas

Daycare also has helped Ben to sleep longer because he's more active and social there. Also, with the cooler evenings, we've been dressing him in long pajamas which has helped him to sleep 10-11 hours at a time...way to go Ben!!!

Mia News:
Mia had a very smooth transition back to daycare. She absolutely insists that she helps drop off her baby brother first before she goes to Mrs. GG's room. Now that a new year has started, many of her friends moved on to the 3's classroom, making her one of the older kids. She seems to like being a leader and we're finding at home that she's becoming more independent with letting us know when she has to go potty!

Mia got two of her 2-year molars sometime in the last week and...
It finally happened. She learned how to ask, "Why?" While it was cute at first, we are noticing that she says it just about all the time now (still cute but is there an end to the asking?)
