Lentils and wasabi

Two things I learned this week:

1. Lentil soup is really good and tastes like a hearty vegetable soup. Will be making it again for sure...maybe a vegetarian version since it is the Lenten season. My next food adventure will be Quinoa and possibly Kale. I'm so worldly ;)

2. Contrary to the opinion that Finn eats everything, he does NOT like wasabi! And based on his visceral reaction to tasting it yesterday, I will not be giving it to him again...EVER! And I gave him a drop the size of a pencil tip...seriously!

Finn's potty training is going okay. He does a good job of going potty on his potty chair and now he likes standing up to pee (I think because he can watch it!), but he is too short to do this by himself...and a stool makes him too tall. We'll figure it out. He does go poopy on the potty chair, but he tends to hold it and try not to go. I know this because he isn't going as often as he was before starting potty training AND when he has to go #2, he keeps saying he has to go potty...like every 5 minutes. Oh, well. Considering it has only been a month, I think he is doing really well...very few accidents, overall.

In the last couple of weeks, Korri has gone from napping three times a day to only once! This has both its pros and cons. First, it allows us more freedom to run errands and get out of the house in the morning (instead of always waiting for her to wake up!). Second, I think it also makes her fall asleep at bedtime better. Or at least she seems to be waking up a little less. However...she probably still needs sleep by around 11am or so, and it takes a lot of effort to keep her happy until nap time at 1pm. But if she naps at 11am, it screws up her whole schedule. I LOVE when they lay down at the same time and I get an hour or two all to myself!!
