Baby F got her first taste of peas last night! No nasty Gerber peas for this little ogre! Frozen peas, pureed, are much much tastier and you can see by the look on her face that she really enjoyed them!
So pass the peas, please! And early, early, this morning, like around 4:30, sweet E woke me up, woke the baby up, and decided she needed to sleep in my bed. I couldn't argue with her. My body still ached from the mastitis, I stayed up too late last night from sleeping so much on Wednesday and Thursday, so I just scooted over for her. Before I could get back to sleep, another voice echoed through my room... "I had a bad dream!" wailed S. "Oh, you poor thing," says M, "Here, get in bed with us. A, could you scoot over? You have plenty of room over there!" Keep in mind Baby F is in between us. And M had no idea E was on my other side. We were squished like sardines and no one went back to sleep...until now: 
And a big congratulations to M, who took his second level test for his second degree black belt last night. This was a huge test, especially since this is his busy time of year for surveys. He did a three kick combination for board breaking without putting his foot down once! His side kick (which was the second in the series) was so fast his foot got caught in the broken board as he pulled it back! Latest Savant News.... Anyone remember S's special gift for knowing the ordinal position of every letter in the alphabet? The other day he said to me, "J plus J equals T." I say, "Huh?" and think for a second before I start counting letters on my fingers. (Start counting, I won't tell you the answer.) This morning, as we were watching Thomas the Train at 5:30, M turns to S and asks, "What's Thomas plus Percy?" We could see a smile start to creep over his face as he realized what game his dad was playing. He also knew Percy minus James equals Thomas. Can you figure out the game?
