Meal Time
Meal time in the Black house is a family affair as often as possible. We typically try to eat breakfast and dinner together, and then Vince joins us whenever he's working at home or on weekends for lunch. Dinner time is "mom's choice" - i.e. everyone eats what mom makes. At lunch, the boys get some choices of what they'd like to eat... do they want carrots or green peppers? Apples, grapes, or strawberries? Turkey or PB&J?
Today, Asher chose a "jow-wee and butter" sandwich (translation - peanut butter and jelly). His preferred method of consuming it is to open it up, lick off all the jelly, then lick off the peanut butter. Then finally, consider eating the bread after he's broken it into 3 million crumbly pieces.
Obed had his first sugar cookie this week. Not surprising, but he really enjoyed it. The great thing about babies is that they eat, but when they're full, they're done. They don't typically over eat - not matter how yummy the treat. He ate about 2/3 of his cookie, but then he was done and off to play.
Typically, when Vince brings his lunch to work, it consists of several snacky type items he can consume throughout the day... a bag of nuts, a banana, a box of raisins, a granola bar, etc. When he's at home for lunch, however, I think he likes to experiment with different combinations of foods. Vince loves hot and spicy things. He claims there is nothing that Cayenne pepper or jalapenos cannot improve. Today, his sandwich was cream cheese, tomatoes and jalapenos on wheat bread, which I had to insist was nasty - in spite of his insistence that it was delicious.
The boys got an extra special treat today - cheese Pringles. Vince ran errands with Ezra and Asher this morning and brought a can of Pringles home as a reward for their excellent behavior and patience with errands. Ezra was trying to be a duck... although he hasn't quite yet perfected the bill... but he's well on his way.

I must say that Asher's teeth are looking particularly snaggly in that picture. I hope he grows up to be an orthodontist.
I thought maybe the blurry effect of the picture would mask the snaggle... I guess I was wrong.
