Ramen, Ramen and More Ramen

Despite our best efforts, Andrew is a picky eater. He eats fruits, meats and not much else. He will sometimes eat crackers, but never pasta or bread. So, imagine our surprise when we discovered that he LOVES top ramen. It is not the most nutritious food that he could eat, but we were pleased that he is branching out. We tried other long stringy noodles, which he puts in his mouth and promptly spits out and then hands us his plate and says "done".



Obviously, table manners will be the next thing we work on :)

Soccer Season Comes to an End

This year we felt that it was important to expose Matthew to as many different sports as we could, and then we would let him chose which ones he wants to pursue as he gets older. Matthew did swimming, t-ball and soccer. I never thought that I would say that I am a soccer fan, but Matthew had the best time.... We didn't even mind the rain! I do have to say that watching 4-5 year-olds play soccer might be the funniest thing I have ever seen. At half time, they switch which way the teams are going and switch goals. The kids would get so confused, half the time they would kick the wrong way. I must say, that all season long, Matthew only scored 1 goal for the other team. Not bad. I think the parents had as much fun laughing as the kids did playing. We can't wait for next year!!!
