We are loving citrus season! The oranges from Aldi have been really yummy lately and Clara, who at first was rather stumped about how to eat them, is turning into a pro. She makes extra sure to get all the good stuff off those peels!

She's also started asking me, "Mommy, do we eat the peels?" about every fruit and vegetable we have. I've reassured her that yes, we do eat apple, pear, grape and pepper peels even though we don't eat orange peels.

Another new game is "let's sleep on our beds" - in which I lie down on her trundle bed and she lies down on the high twin in her room and we both pretend to be asleep. While playing this game after her nap, she called to me, "Mommy, can you wake up your head?!"
