Kabob Update

I didn't try to make liver kabobs. Alek had to make do with plain old liver and caramelized onions. (I know your mouth is watering Heather). But I just had an epiphany....

Chicken Liver Kabobs! I'm totally going to make this on the weekend. Marinate them in the same sauce that I use for rumaki and then skewer them.

Alek has the best mom! Although I wonder how many other kids would be happy that their mom tries to come up with liver recipes for them?

Boys Stats

Today everyone in the family had a doctors appointment. I think I'm going to do it this way from now on. With 5 appointments all at once they sure book you a huge chunk of time. The doctor and I even had time to shut the door after my family departed from the room and visit for a bit. It was nice not be rushed in and then rushed out.

Here are the highlights as I remember them

Alek (8 years) - everything is fine; he's tall and skinny weighing in at 64 lbs.

Mikah (2 year check) - he's great; learning about 3 or 4 new words a day finally; 34 lbs; no height because he wouldn't even get on the scale by himself. I had to humiliate myself by climbing on it with him. I could have lived without seeing what my weight is. (keep doing pilates, keep doing pilates, keep doing pilates...)

Lukas (9 month check) - average weight (21 lbs); above average height (28"); average head circumference (which, if you remember the size of Alek's head as a baby you'll know how relieved we are LOL); everything else is right on track.

All in all, the boys are healthy and developing at the right pace.

Flooring

I can now appreciate why people have laminate or hardwood flooring.

Boys; diapers; poop; carpet.

On a completely related side-note, I love cherry whiskey paralyzers.

Band-Aids

I wonder how many times we put off ripping off bandaids, not wanting to feel the sting and the burn. Sometimes it just feels healed. Not at all what you were expecting.

Amazing.

Mikah and I Like This a Lot

Mikah likes to sing the "uh uh oh" parts. And dance.

Tae Kwon Do

Alek started Tae Kown Do this week. So far he's had two classes and loved every second of it. he even told the Master that he wished he could come everyday. With any luck it will help his abilty to concentrate and stay focused as well. I'll keep you posted on that as time goes on though. Let's all hope for a miracle in that area LOL! Here's a little video of his forst class. A few days later than I promised my parents, but it's only a few days late which is a freakin miracle!

Mikah is finally starting to talk! He understands everything that he hears but up until lately has refused to help us understand him. He's enjoying trying out new words and we couldn't be happier about it!

Here's a video of Mikah with two of his favorite things; water and soap.
