Today we gave Glen a small Birthday Cake, one that Grandma and Grandpa Dodge dropped by for him. As expected, he thoroughly enjoyed it. Here are some photos and footage of the event.
Yesterday, we found a toy microphone while cleaning the house…and it led to a fun activity idea. I grabbed the camera, we set up a table and papers, and in no time we were filming “The Dodge Family News!” I doubt this will become a regular broadcast or anything, but the kids sure enjoyed it. A lot of fun. Here’s the low-quality version for online viewing pleasure.
Tonight I tried to feed glen some carrots and potatoes. He will not open his mouth. I have to make him laugh just to get the spoon through, but lately he won’t even do that. He is becoming wise to my tactics. so finally I said, “here you do it” and I put down the spoon and bowl of food on his tray. He immediately picked up the spoon, opened his mouth wide and stuck the spoon in. All this time he just wanted to do it himself!
Mommy tried giving Glen some Carrots and Potatoes today, but he wasn’t digging it. He was, however, excited to try using the spoon for himself. Here’s the obligatory, oh-so-cute imagery of the event. The kid’s got mad motor skills – got the spoon into his mouth on the first try!

Normally I try to remember to call Johanna when I am leaving work, so she knows how long to cook dinner and when to expect me home. This day was no different…or so I thought.
