She is excited to be eating her spaghetti with her hands. I am just happy that she's eating it.

Kai is the complete opposite of Kira (so far), he eats anything that you put on his tray. He LOVED spaghetti and even ate the ground beef and onions.

Kira took this charming photo of me. It is one of the first times she's actually caught me, usually it's my torso in the picture. Naturally, I look amazing and beautiful. Heh.

 

Kai likes to eat, look how excited he is to feed himself.

Kira started "preschool" this week. We were able to register at the last moment in a half-day camp at the community centre near our house. She goes each morning from 9:00 - 12:00. We had never been to this community centre before, so it was unfamiliar to her as were the other kids and the teachers, so I was a little concerned that she may make strange and get a little clingy to me.

Wrong.

As soon as she walked in the door and saw all the toys she dropped her backpack and was gone. I said goodbye to her, but she was already long gone. Obviously I would be the only one of us that would be emotional leaving her behind, and that was perfectly fine with me. When I pick Kira up from preschool, she is sad to come home and will ask me when she can go back again.

This week we headed up to my friend Zoe's house to have a playdate. It has been almost a year since we were last up there, but Kira waltzed into the place like she owned it. Zoe's oldest daughter, Gemma, invited Kira to go play in her room and we didn't see Kira again for about 90 minutes. Gemma's room was loaded up with Dora toys and then Gemma took her to the trampoline outside; Kira was in heaven.

Kai just had his 8 month birthday, and to celebrate he cut his first tooth. I can no longer spoon feed him, he has decided that feeding himself is the only way to go. He will keep his mouth closed and whip his head around if you even attempt to spoon feed him. Another stubborn kid, yay. It is good though because now we can just feed him the same food that we are eating for dinner, so life is better for all of us.
