I decided to document our Thursday morning this week. I'd like to hang on to this one in particular since it was free of tantrums and time-out.
First, there is a breakfast of toast and cheezits. What can I say? Cannon had half a banana and milk with his toast and cheezits. At least it wasn't cookies. That was yesterday.
Then we play with the leapfrog alphabet. I love this thing. We've had it for two days and already I'm an avid fan. Cannon has learned most of the alphabet and sounds. Awesome awesome product. He loves the songs it sings and pushing buttons, of course.
Then it was staring-out-the-window time. It's a beautiful morning. I love fall mornings.
Hazel excels at laying on the floor while being cute in her jammies. It's safe to assume that she was watching her brother during this photo. She does that a lot.
Now that this morning is well under way it's time to start laundry and edit 3 photo shoots from this last week. It's nice to enjoy my peaceful Thursday mornings when they come.Just a note about Hazel. She had eczema so bad that her forehead was cracking and bleeding. I have cut dairy out of my diet and she cleared right up. It's amazing. There are a few dry spots here and there but nothing that can't be zapped with a little Aveeno cream. Any ideas for dairy-free dinners? Jarom loves cheese. I've done quite a few Asian inspired meals but I'm running out of ideas. Thanks!

Awww, what a great morning! I love this post. You sure have sweety kids.
I love the LeapFrog videos called Talk Word/Letter Factory. They totally taught Isaac the alphabet. Thank heavens for LeapFrog.
sorry no help on the dairy-free diet. It is amazing the things we have to sacrifice for our little babies! I hope it continues to work!
happy to hear i'm not the only mother who allows cookies and cheezits for breakfast!!
So sorry to about exzema... Sonia had rough time when we were in Utah but here she has new skin. Try doing pita pockets and leaving cheese out for yourself, fish dinners with rice or potatoes (any white fish will do) here is a recipe you might like, just add steamed veggies:

you can still have milk get the lactose free milk. That is what i had to do. But stay away from all the rest of dairy. You can also have yogart icecream. Good luck
love the leap frog thing. Karianne is still having a hard time picking up on the letters. Maybe I need to get one of those unless you have any other ideas I can do at home. My brother is lacto I can ask him if you want.
