New Beginnings

The past few days have really been great but today seem to be extra special. After dinner the boys and I went for a walk in the neighborhood. While walking, I realized what a accomplishments had happened today. 1) Hyrum got his third tooth and took his first steps! 2) Tipton out of nowhere decided he was ready to ride his bike (with training wheels) and pedalled the farthest he has gone. 3) Liam ate carrots!
Funny how such small things seem so big.




How I got Liam to eat carrots...Tonight we had tacos and put all the normal items on the table to choose from, cheese, lettuce, sour cream, the meat, shells, etc., but this time I added an extra item. Shredded carrots. Layered it with the shredded cheese. Couldn't even taste it and no crunch. It was almost brilliant. It actually worked!

Yaa! I will have to try this with applesauce right? Is the music on your blog from Lazy Town??

Yes, the music is Lazy Town! I've been letting Liam pick the music for the family blog. He has 16 favorites I've yet to update.

I totally agree, you are totally brilliant with the carrot tacos! I also really love your thoughts on doing missionary work at home as a mother. Thanks Laura, I needed that!
