It's Caroline's World...We're Just Living In It

So today is not particularly cold, in fact, it's downright warm outside. But, since I'm the mommy, I make lunch, and I was in the mood for grilled cheese and tomato soup, that's what we had for lunch today. Me and Caroline. (Kate had sweet potatoes). We have some perfectly ripe pears to eat so I cut some of those up too. Mmmmmmmmm!

Well, Ms. Caroline decided that grilled cheese dipped into tomato soup was just not good enough. She wanted pear dipped in tomato soup. I laughed and told her about how yummy the sandwich is when you dip it. She tried it, said "yum", and went right back to dipping her pears.

Go your own way, my dear. I love you.

Sister thought her sweet potatoes were fantastic....

The Back Seat

In a minivan, or any car for that matter, a mom that is driving can only do so much to keep an eye on her children. We have one of those 2-seat bench seats in the middle row of our van. I now appreciate the separate captains chairs even more than I thought I would. Thomas moved to the "way back" when Kate arrived. I figured I needed access to the girls more since Thomas is pretty self sufficient. I was slightly concerned about the fact that Caroline could easily reach Kate, but up until today, she's done fine. Just an occasional passie or blanket theft, but no injuries or feeding her things. Good!

Today was the day.... I heard Caroline giggling her sweet little giggle and glanced in the rear view mirror to see what she was up to. I expected to see her smiling at her sister or even playing peek a boo, which she does sometimes. Nope. I saw these in Kate's mouth....

Caroline's TOES!!! Gross gross gross! After being totally gooed out and explaining to her (firmly) that we don't put our feet in the baby's mouth, or the entire carseat for that matter, I had to laugh myself. Poor Kate. I'm sure this is only the beginning of the sibling abuse you may endure. It's a good thing they love you so much.....
