Flossing Fun
It seems that the boys have already managed to pick up one of my many annoying habits....I am crazy about flossing!! I think it stems from having braces as a child. Is this where I get a call from Dr. Phil in about 15 years and Jake and Zach have me on stage to discuss how traumatized they were growing up with a crazy-flossing mother??? Oh gosh....the guilt begins!! LOL

Grandpa
Jake loves his Grandpa Dale! When I was in Los Angeles and Pete's parents came to visit Grandpa Dale and Jake really bonded! Last night before bed we were reading books and he grabbed a calendar that Auntie Jessie made that had a picture of Grandpa. He pointed at his picture and said, "GRANDPA"!! Pete is away on business so I was lucky to sneak in a video from my camera without Jake noticing!!

Jake's First Play Group
Jake had a wonderful time at his first playgroup. Here are pictures of his new friend Michael. Zach took an interest in in Michael's mom, Mary. As soon as he saw Mary he wanted her to carry him. Poor Mary, she held him for a good 20 minutes before we pried him from her arms. We just couldn't figure out why he was so enamored with her. He cried whenever she would put him down. This was the first time we had met Mary and her family in person. It was the funniest thing. We just couldn't quite figure it out. What was the attraction?....then...DING-DING...Pete had a thought......Mary resembles his Grandma Judy!....What do you think??? At first glance?? For those of you who know Grandma Judy, I am interested in your thoughts!
As you can see, Zach was emotionally exhausted from being torn from Mary's arms and fell asleep before he could share his Dad's Steak Escape sandwich!
The boys are doing well. Zach had his first fall at the gym daycare yesterday. He was standing on a table and he fell off. The table flipped back up in his face and gave him a bloody nose!! When I returned to pick him up an hour later, they told me what happened and I had to sign a form. I signed the form and left. When Pete came home we talked about it over dinner. When should they tell you your child is injured? BEFORE or AFTER the incident? Being "newbies" in the parent department..we aren't sure. More importantly, how do you NOT NOTICE a Toddler standing on the table?

MN Children's Museum
We took the boys to the Minnesota Children's Museum last weekend and they had a GREAT time. They could touch EVERYTHING without restrictions!!! It will be a GREAT place to come back with their cousins this summer. Jake loved pushing the shopping cart around the grocery store and putting EVERYTHING in his basket. Zach tried his Chef skills with the wok in the Asian restaurant. His grandpa would be proud!!
Today we will be going to our first play group. I met some other families who formed a playgroup for other adopted Guatemalan children to meet once a week.
The weather has been horrible, so we will be meeting at a mall!! WHAT??? Did I hear mall??? How appropriate...our first playgroup at a mall...what a beautiful thing!! I will post pictures a little later.
