First Bike Ride

We ventured off on our first bike ride today!

We went all the way to the library to play and read books, then stopped at the park to watch the tennis players and practice off-roading on the hills :)

I hope we get to go again tomorrow!

Juice and Powder

Asher's a big fan of adding juice and powder to his milk when he drinks it.  He often asks to have it if we pour his milk without it.  He also likes to help pour it into his milk and stir it around, which is helpful because the powder gets pretty clumpy if you don't stir it right away.  He usually asks me (Casey) to pour the juice into my mouth after I pour some into his milk, as he thinks it's pretty funny that I drink it directly from the bottle.  While he usually drinks his milk pretty fast, it's always gone in a couple gulps with the juice and powder.

I'm guessing you're wondering what this juice and powder is that makes the milk so delicious?  You may be thinking you want to add some to your milk next time if it makes a toddler drink it so fast. 

No problem - I'll let you in on the secret.  The juice is... cod liver oil!  It must be all that extra omega 3s, vitamin A and D that make it taste so good.  Our brand does add a slight lemon flavor, but don't worry, there's still some good fishy flavor there to savor (Megan can't go anywhere near it).  Like Asher, I still think it's pretty tasty.

The powder is a kid's pro-biotic.  While not too flavor enhancing, it does give the milk a nice muddy color.

And of course it means you're just drinking a big pile of bacteria invested lemon/fish flavored milk.  No wonder Asher asks for it all the time!
