Kids In The Kitchen

Another one of the reasons my blog posts have been lacking lately...

This year I served on the Kids in the Kitchen committee.  KITK is a nation-wide project for Junior League.  The main objective of the project is to teach kids about healthy snacks and good exercise.  The JLCC held a big event at Children's Medical Center in Plano in late March.  Our special guests were Sunny Sinclair from The Biggest Loser and Olympic gold medalist Carly Patterson.

I had a great time putting together the event with all of these ladies.

Here are a few shots from the rest of the event:

Tidbits About Our Chunk

1.  Hmmm...No doctor visit this month.  I need to measure and weigh him.  He's sleeping though.  It'll have to wait.

2.  He started eating rice cereal mixed with formula and applesauce.

3.  He still loves taking a bath.

4.  He's started to sit up.  Briefly.  What can I say, he has a round bottom.

5.  While laying on his back, he'll reach for his toes, but only reaching his calves. 

6.  Nana and Grandaddy claim he's said "Dada" several times.  I refuse to believe it.  I've made a mental note to practice saying "Mama" with him at every given chance.

7.  His eczema on his neck and ears is clearing up. 

8.  His hair is growing back in, and it's a lot lighter in color.

9.  He slept through the night once.  Only once.  Although he has made it 6 hours straight a couple of times too.

10.  I believe I have lost the bet with Tom.  I think his eyes are going to stay blue.  I'm not giving up until October though. 



Wordless Wednesday

Egg Huntin'

The city of Frisco held their annual Easter Eggstravaganza last weekend!  There were 80,000 eggs covering 6 soccer fields for all of the little ones to gather. 

If only we could gather that many people to pick up trash for approximately 45 seconds, there would never be any litter.

He gathered 35 eggs and had great joy opening each one!

Blastball Opening Ceremony

We've already had our first game, but for the sake of chronological order I'll save that for another post.

We started off the season with low attendance at the opening ceremony and parade.  I'm not sure what that says about our team.  Micah and the two coaches' sons dressed out for the occasion.  They had alot of fun despite the expresson on Micah's face in most of these photos.  I think Micah was still half asleep.  We had to be at the field at 8am.  He's used to enjoying his morning waffles and cartoons at that time.

(Please notice the dirt stains on his white pants.  We hadn't even played a game yet...I might as well invest in mass amounts of stain remover now.)

Okay, so I have this great entrepreneurial idea if anyone out there would like to follow through with it. 

I've found that sports opportunities are opening up for the younger kids like crazy.  The age brackets just get younger and younger.  Well, the uniforms are still the same sizes.  Our boys are drowning in these extra small jerseys and baseball pants. 

Someone needs to start a line of sports uniforms in toddler sizes.  Even cleats are impossible to find in an 8.5 toddler.   I've searched high and low with no luck.  You know moms will pay to have something fit their babies.  I would.

So, whoever decides to take my idea and run with it, don't forget to send me a little kick back ;)
