We finally went to dinner to celebrate Tyler's birthday.  He chose McDonalds, and even though their food has improved in the past few years, I still give it 3 stars behind Wendy's 5.  But whatev, I hold McDonalds stock so I was happy to support Tyler.  He ate well and then played on the play structure.  Tyler has been difficult to parent because he is quite stubborn and Heidi and I have different perspectives on his eating.  In the morning, when he refuses to eat, I think, "Fine.  Starve.  Not my problem."  But Heidi doesn't want him to melt down in school, so she tries all sorts of tricks to get him to eat.  


His birthday bike was stolen on Wednesday, and that upset us, because that particular frame is not common.  I told the kids, "Every time that kid gets on your bike, he'll think, "I stole this.  I lied to God."  Scott seemed to understand.  Tyler, not so much.


Look at Blakey's shiner.  He ran into some trim at Heidi's parents.

Kira woke up at 6:22 this morning and wanted to eat.  I cooked waffles and then got ready for work.  Kira has been talking non-stop since she woke up and Kira is just a funny little girl.  Yesterday, after we were done eating and the screaming Tyler had to be escorted out of the restaurant (he wouldn't share his water but I made him share anyway), Kira waved bye bye to the employees.

Okay, time for worky.

I can't believe tyler's bike got stolen! That is horrible! I bet he was devastated. Someone stole our wagon out of the front yard and I was totally ticked. We've left wiggle bikes out there, razor scooters, and yet someone would want a 23 yr old wagon with a bum wheel? Come on.

That is so sad about Tyler's new bike.
Can you send a photo of it to be posted on "Claycord.com" ?
Be sure to check Craigslist and Ebay for it too.
The Thief needs his punishment for ruining a nice little guys birthday.
A big Hug for Tyler!

Josh has been stubborn with food too. He eats certain things incredibly well, like goldfish, pretzels, bacon, anything salty pretty much:(
Of course I don't want him living on a strict diet of crackers and bacon so it's tough. I end up feeding him unconventional breakfasts like a turkey sandwich, sometimes soup, sometimes left over dinner. But he'll never eat cereal, bagels, fruit or oatmeal with the other kids.
I do worry about his nutritional needs, but I figure if I can get something in his tummy before school even if it's not totally ideal, it's probably good.

Darn I'm sorry about his bike. I read in your recent post you got Tyler a replacement bike...glad that worked out...sorry people are dishonest.:(
