The only way my girls will eat an apple. I wonder where they get that from?

We've joined our friends playgroup for the summer holidays and hosted an activity at our house today. The kids had a great time icing cookies and playing all morning while the moms chatted and caught up.

Sophie with Miffy--
* 17 weeks
* enjoys sleeping on her tummy now. She starts off swaddled and on her back and during the early hours of the morning, rolls over onto her tum.
* doesn't sit still
* loves to play with toys
* spends very little time on her back now. prefers to roll over and enjoy tummy time instead
* 12 hours sleep last night!
* enjoys going for walks in the pram
* has sweaty hands and feet. I've read up about it and believe it's the body's way of regulating its temperature. She should grow out of it by about 9 months

Bryn and I got to sit back and enjoy a Family Home Evening lesson presented by Savannah and Madison. So cute.

I consider breakfast the be the most important meal of the day. I try to pack as much goodness into the start of our day, as that's when the girls are at their hungriest. We eat either oatmeal porridge, all bran or homemade museli, with milk or yoghurt as well as fresh fruit and water. The girls know the drill and are good eaters. I'm a 'cool' mom, come Saturdays, as the girls are allowed to help themselves to a junk breakfast (honey loops / chocos) while I enjoy a weekend lie in.

Savannah and Madison got to pick out a pack of mini junk breakfasts for the holidays. It's up to them to decide how long their stash will last. I opened up the pantry today and wondered why my shelf was so disorganised. I quickly realised why, when I saw the hidden cereals. The girls are fast learners. They're not worried about me eating their treat, it's the male of the house they've got to watch out for!

Oops, Bryn I hope you don't find this entry before the cereals are finished :)

We've been lucky this summer. We've had very few days like this.

Madison felt that Sophie needed a little teddy and her dummy shoved back in her mouth during a very peaceful sleep. Luckily the peaceful sleep continued.
