One Thing - 5/19/14

It was another great day at our house today!
We spent a lot of time playing this morning. For a short time, all of us were playing with our Fisher Price zoo. It was mine when I was little. My mom had kept it and gave it to Jonah when he was a toddler. It has gotten lots of use at our house! 

This afternoon, Jonah accompanied me on a trip into Omaha. I went to my chiropractor for an adjustment and for acupuncture to encourage labor. Any of you blog readers ever tried acupuncture for labor? I'd love to hear some personal stories! After my appointment, we stopped at Target. Jonah wanted to look at Legos, and I needed to get a few things for supper. 

We enjoyed a yummy supper tonight including corn on the cob that was on sale at Target. It was Lydia's first time trying it on the cob. I think she liked it!



After supper, we went out for a walk. The boys rode their bikes. We are in this scary phase for me as a Mom to these boys. Jonah is trying "tricks," which mostly consists of riding really fast around a usually empty church parking lot near our house. He picks up as much speed as he can then gets super close to boundaries before turning or stopping. He is a boy and needs freedom to try out new things, but it makes this Mommy nervous! Silas has just recently started riding his bike more instead of his trike. Last year, he never got the hang of braking and would get really scared going down even the tiniest hills. So, he went back to his trike. This year, we have encouraged him to get back on his bike because the trike is just too small for him. But, he still struggles to brake when he needs to. The past few nights we have been working on it with him. He is starting to make some progress!

Another thing we have enjoyed recently is watching our new baby birds in a nest that sits on top of a light fixture on our garage. We think there are 3 baby birds. They are starting to fill out the nest, so it probably won't be long before they take off.
