Jude’s 1st spring break didn’t turn out quite like I’d expected since everyone EXCEPT him got sick. However, we did manage to slip in a few bit of extra special fun in between runny noses and doctor appointments. School starts back on Monday and I’m a little sad to see spring break end although we…
My boys love fruit. When the box of Lil Snappers fruit arrived I unpacked the contents and left it on the kitchen table. Soon after the boys discovered the haul of fruit they devoured 2 mandarin oranges and an apple, each! I had to move the fruit to higher ground so they wouldn’t spoil their…

After several years of working with Jude and his potty training struggles I was completely shocked when Noah started to potty train himself.
