FAMILY FRIDAY

one of the best family fridays ever. kiah slept until like 9:00 while stephen went out to play indoor with his buds. by the time he got home kiah was up so we had some breakfast and showered. 1st stop, starbucks! kiah was being such a good girl and played in the stroller while stephen and i caught up on some much needed heart to heart conversation. stephen ordered his first ever gingerbread latte. i am so proud of him for trying it! then we walled from my favorite starbucks off of east blvd thats in a house, down the greenway to target to get a few things and to enjoy the beautiful day. on the baby food isle where we were exploring all the different things there i asked a mom with 2 little ones for some baby food/eating advice. WOW! so much peace came over me. she explained very clearly and simply that a baby does not eat food for calories until 12months. until then its all about experiencing food and discovering it. kiah has not been liking any of the food i have given her and i had been getting worried that she was hungry. but after she said that i was freed from that worry and excited to go home and just let her try things like a slice of apple to gnaw on or a banana to play with instead or working so hard on trying to make perfect little meals for her. it was just so nice. we left target after having like 20 people say how beautiful kiah was and headed back to the starbucks. we came home, had a lovely loaf of bread with soup all together at the table. then, before i knew it, it was time for friday soccer in birchcroft. it was just a great afternoon. i went out to get tina from her new home and brought her over to the neighborhood. then she joined me and kiah for a long walk before the sun set. stephen and i took her home after soccer finished and then to top off the night we used a coupon for a free sandwich at one of our favorite places which-wich. i got the Monti Cristo and he got the THank You Turkey. yummmm!
