Snacktime

Snacktime happens twice a day, once after morning nap and once after afternoon nap. Sometimes our snacks are quick, small, and served on the floor, and sometimes they're big, messy, and served in high chairs. It just depends on how hungry the girls wake up, and how close to lunch or dinner it is.

Right now, Emily loves mini peanut butter sandwich crackers, and Addie loves goldfish. Neither of them will ever turn down a graham cracker, and grapes are almost always a hit (but Addie will eat more of them). They get their straw water cups at snack. Emily can suck that water down like there's no tomorrow, and will often need a refill. Addie's better about drinking milk at meals, so doesn't seem as thirsty at snacktime.

Lately, we've been having our snacks out in the front yard, where we can people watch and sit in the shade. Both girls LOVE when the kids across the street come outside, because big kids are the best. It's also a wonderful treat when someone walks by with a dog, or our neighbor's dog, Louie, comes outside.
