the spudnut shop

As a special treat (there seem to be a lot of those these days) I took the kids to get a spudnut at the Spudnut Shop today. They got to share one, and enjoyed the green sprinkles for St. Patty's Day. The Spudnut shop is a Richland staple and a lot of older folks congregate there. Sure enough this morning there was a group of old fellas sipping coffee and talking, loudly, about the difference between LaCrosse (Wisconsin) and Lucerne (Switzerland). Then one guy says "I don't even know what you're talking about". haha!

Olin had his first speech assessment today at our house. I guess it went ok, but I couldn't really tell. The woman was nice and she asked him to do a few things like stack 3 blocks together (he passed) or turn over a bottle to get a cheerio out (he didn't pass) and asked us a few questions about what he likes and activities we do as a family.  He's got another "real" assessment that we had already set up for Wednesday afternoon. Anyway, earlier in the afternoon, Leelee was pretending like he was holding a microphone and said "Everybody! Mama's taking a shower, and then a guest is coming over to teach our baby to talk!"

Olin is such a funny guy. He copies a lot of stuff, like when he accidentally hit my chin with his head, I was rubbing it a little bit and he came over and rubbed it too. He also likes to wipe up spills with a towel.

Also, Leelee loves bananas right now. He can eat 2-3 a day. We have been going through bananas like nobody's business. He nicely leaves the banana peels all over the house.
