Linus, checking himself out in the new mirror.

I’ve been doing reward charts with the boys to get them to taste new foods at school. Miles was the first to get his ten stickers, and so he got to pick out a toy at Target. He was so darn proud of himself, it was so sweet. Naturally, he picked out an Ironman toy.

Took the boys to the zoo, and they rode the carousel by themselves for the first time ever! Sniff, sniff.

Night, Milesy!

Oliver and Miles wanted to go casual today, but Linus was having none of it.

I picked up the kids after my eye appointment (Millie’s dad usually does pickup but today he couldn’t), and I have to say, this is the downside of only doing the morning carpool. They’re so happy to see whoever picks them up in the afternoon, and they chatter chatter chatter away about their days. But by the time they get home and I see them, they’re all talked out and I get nothin’.

Iron Man was trying to sneak up on me.

Seriously, I should be ashamed of myself. For several reasons, chief among them, relying on crappy cell phone pictures. But also for bribing my kids with cookies at Target. I only had two of them with me at the time, though, so at least we know Linus will be slightly less rotten than the other two.

Yes, yes, a thousand times yes!

The carpoolers practice their smiles for picture day. Cheese!
