Broccoli and Cousins

Today Micah had broccoli for lunch. He could have also eaten a kiwi, some cheese, a slice of apple and some frosted shredded wheat. He did eat the frosting off the shredded wheat. He also chewed up the apple, but opted not to eat it. Bonnie ate the cheese. The broccoli was his favorite by far today, but he couldn't remember what it was called, so when he finished his first helping he asked me for t-os (pronounced teeee-oes) but all the tomatoes he has had the last few days have brought out a bit of diaper rash. I was pleased when I realized he wanted more broccoli because I did have a tomato left- even after he started stealing them out of the fruit bowl- and I didn't want to have to hide it! He said broccoli very nicely after being reminded.

Micah's cousins came to visit today. I think everyone had a very good time playing with the different toys, although Bradley may have been a bit bored by the whole event. Micah was disturbed (as you might expect) that Bonnie was touching his toys, pulling up on his furniture and crawling down his hallway. He'll be ok.

I didn't come up with a good camera option until after 4 of the six kids had moved out of the living, so I missed proving how little space we have. Micah, Sean, Luke and Bonnie spent quite a while in Micah's room jumping on his bed and rescuing the toys from the pack and play. Sean was excited that Micah could cook his own food because he has a microwave in his room. (Our circuit breakers won't support our microwave out in the kitchen.) I think Sean will be requesting his own microwave soon.

I'm starting to realize how little time is left before we leave for vacation. Maybe I'll take pictures when I start trying clothes on Micah to see what will be good fits for the trip.
