Peppers

Devin loves peppers, actually he really loves all produce. The vegetables are always the first thing he eats on his plate, loves grabbing apples and eating them when I'm not looking, and now apparently peppers too! I was upstairs getting dressed for the day and I noticed Devin had left my room and was gone for a few minutes. And when that happens, my thought process is like "Oh goodness, what am I going to find him doing now??" He didn't leave me in suspense for too long as he came right back up to my room with a huge smile on his face and a whole pepper in his hand with some bites missing out of it. He just started chowing down on the thing like an apple and loving it.
Now I know this is pretty tame for the Devinator, and there are much worse things than your child pretty much begging for healthy food. But I will admit I'm a little nervous as to what this can turn into. He's in a big boy bed now, and can get out at will (although he has been very good, and does stay in bed when we put him in it). However they have been waking up much earlier than before, and I can just only imagine what they will start doing if they can get down to the fridge and help themselves! Oy!
So yes, the Devinator is still up to his usual antics. Just last week he squeezed a bunch of sunscreen onto the carpet, dumped an entire bag of quinoa all over the kitchen and living room floors, and has on more than one occasion destroyed the toy closet. He keeps me on my toes, and I'm going to be very grateful when they are enjoying some grandparent time over this weekend so we can finish packing the house in peace!
Stay tuned for future updates-and thank you for your patience. My posting will definitely pick up once we get all settled in next weekend!
