ABCs ... oatmeal ... and a teacher all swirled together!

Sophie's New Thing: Sophie has started to say the ABCs. Well she only gets to D so it is "ABCD" ... "ABCD" ... "ABCD". It is very cute but after about the twentieth ABCD, you wonder when she will get a few more letters in the alphabet!

Matthew's New Thing: Matthew got his first taste of Oatmeal on Thanksgiving day. My mom got the privilege of being the first one to feed him a solid. He didn't eat much because it is hard to figure out the swallowing thing for all babies but he did get some of it down. At this point, it is just practice eating off a spoon and practice swallowing something besides milk. He will get it. The way he eyes our food, I know he will catch on fast!

Grace's New Thing: Grace has become a teacher to Sophie and Matthew. She has started sharing some of her "lessons" that she learns at school with Sophie and Matthew. My favorite is the "good morning song". I don't know the song and only hear the parts she sings. They must hold hands when they sing this at school because she makes a point to hold Sophie and Matthew's hands and starts singing "good morning to you, good morning to you" ... "good morning to you, good morning to you". Maybe one day we will get hear the full song but for now, I enjoy the part she is teaching Sophie and Matthew while she holds their hands.
