Trains and cookies


Saturday the boys were playing outside with their train set. Dawson asked us to help him build the track. Brett and I were both occupied at the moment but when I came out to help him a few minutes later, this is what I found. He put this whole track together by himself. I was pretty impressed.



The little brothers enjoying the track their big bro made.


We made chocolate chip cookies that day as well. Kenan has it in his hand there.



He ate a lot of it but then decided he was done.



Silas was distraught that he couldn't eat the cookie.



But soon, he was eating the cookie.


And that's the third kid for you. No sugar touched Dawson's mouth until his first birthday. You wouldn't know it now, but he never really liked sweets. He rarely got them when he was younger and even when he did, he wasn't too interested. Kenan has always had a sweet tooth, but he didn't have any chocolate until his first birthday either. But Silas is another story. I was trying my best to hold out but a couple weeks ago at someone's house for dinner there was cake and because all three kids were loosing it and I was just trying to appease and keep at least one of them quiet, he got cake. And he's now had some brownie...and chocolate chip cookies. :) Such is life...

  1. Surprised you waited till the third child. Shelby Grace has had chocolate mousse ice cream (her favorite flavor from Baskin Robbins), vanilla ice cream, oatmeal cookies (thanks to Grandma), brownies,.... who knows what else. Oh well!

  2. I remember having friends over once for dinner. Elena was almost 2 and their youngest was a year younger. They were talking at the meal about how the little guy hadn't had ice cream yet and they thought they'd wait until he was at least a year old. Then we all looked on the floor where the 2 little ones were sitting and saw Elena feeding Jonathan her ice cream. Sometimes, our plans are good, but they're only plans.

  4. I just knew you were going to say Kenan our future engineer had put that train set together. Another day...

    Tell Dawson he did a great job. Now where is a short video?
