A little of this and a little of that...

Claire-bear's newest hobby is being a food critic. She has quite a discerning palette, and tends to lean more toward non-tradtional foods. She really loves Yats- Cajun Creole and dives right in, begging like a baby bird for spoonful, after spoonful! If she doesn't care for the food, boy does she let them know it. She will daintily drop ALL of it on the floor, a pinch at a time. Squeezing a small morsel in her hand then leaning as far as she can over the side of her high chair and -BOMBS AWAY. She waits for each clump to hit the floor before selecting her next.

Over the first weekend of May we took the kids for their first trip in an airplane! They far exceeded our expectations and both were quite happy to fly and buzz through the airport. Jack would chime in with "Ding!" after we landed-imitating the seatbelt sign turning off. We flew to Boston for a weekend out on the Cape with family and got to attend the much talked about "Derby Party". There were hats, mint julips, off-track betting, food, and drinks in the heart of Redsox Nation. What a great time!!! It was quite a whirlwind weekend can't wait to get back out there, possibly an October trip! This stroller was quite the life-saver when getting through the airport-- the security check was a NIGHTMARE--they thought about taking away the diaper rash ointment...yeh, maybe from my cold, dead hands. We made it through without losing anything other than our sanity!
