Need Chocolate!

This is Quinn's favorite request right now. Ever since he snagged Don's hershey kisses one day at the end of last year, Quinn's love of chocolate gets deeper by the day. Now at almost every meal (and in between), he'll look at me with his big adorable eyes and say "Need chocolate!" He pronounces each syllable very carefully too so that I'll be sure to understand him. Aaah!


Eating chocolate pudding in his very favorite Thomas pjs. Oh, the bliss!


We've also been struggling to teach Quinn how to drink from an open cup. He always wants to put his tongue on the inside of the cup, thus spilling the contents all down his chest every time. So, we finally put Quinn's love of chocolate to work for us. Don made hot chocolate this weekend, stripped Quinn down and tried to get Quinn to drink his chocolate from an open cup. It worked....sorta. It's a start anyway.


Kayla is carefully watching for any spills...


Can't resist posting a few Maisie pics....

Ah, the chocolate drink trick. Should work like a charm.

How can Maisie get even prettier?

Ah, the drug of choice for all 2 and 67 year olds.

Maisie would win any baby contest just look at that face.

Yay Quinn. Understanding the difference between Needs and Wants is important and Chocolate should be a Need in anyone's book. GUD

How can you resist giving into those demands? Those are some cute kids you got there. Ugh -- I hate the whole drinking from an open cup thing. Is it horrible that I just left it up to the teachers at CJ's early learning program to teach her? I'm thinking we'll teach Peter with open cups outside this spring and summer.
