Jillian's New Table and High Chair

Jillian drawing with her Magna Doodle.

I asked Jillian to smile for me.

Jillian has been rejecting her high chair as of late. When it is meal time we ask her to go get in her high chair. She would run over to her purple arm chair and repeatedly say "high chair." We tried to explain that her high chair was in fact the tall one with the frogs on it. No luck. High chair meant her purple chair.

So we changed our tactics and told her she needed to get into her "frog chair." Every time we told her to do this she would again say "high chair" and run to her purple chair. She loves that darn chair.

So my latest idea was to get her a table and chair that she could eat and play at. We took a sojourn to IKEA and I convinced Jason that the $8 end table works just as good as the $25 children's table (I'm a bit thrifty). We set it up and she has taken to it. She calls her new red chair "high chair." Oh well. As long as she eats her food at the table, she can call it whatever she wants.

Easter at the Canfields

Jillian begins her hunt. She was semi-pro as she had already practiced that morning at our house.

She loved to open the eggs to see what was inside though once open she lost interest.

Ethan was a machine. This kid can hunt eggs so quickly!

Aunt Melissa tried to teach Jillian to shake the eggs before opening.

Later Ethan and Jillian spent some quality time coloring together.

Olive Garden of Evil Update

So about 5 weeks ago we had a less than wonderful Olive Garden experience. The OG corporation got back to us right away to apologize. And give us what we probably deserved during our original dinner - a meal on them. We got a $50 giftcard which we immediately decided we will spend on their To Go service or their sister restaurant Red Lobster.

The OG made it right. Kohls did not. Do I have a "I like crappy customer service" sign taped to me? I won't go into the whole story but basically I was treated very poorly at Kohls after some confusion about using a coupon and the discount you get from opening a charge card. I wrote in to Kohls to make them aware of their crummy customer service and the letter I received back was less than apologetic. It did tell me how wonderful a Kohls charge account is though. Bleh. If they didn't have such great deals (occasionally) I would boycott them as well.

Easter At The Lewkos... Yes, It Has Been Awhile!

Get your game face on. Its time for Easter at the Lewko's.

We weren't sure how Jillian would react to Easter and the Egg Hunt. We were surprised that she LOVED IT! She totally got what she was supposed to do. It was so fun to watch her go from egg to egg and see what was inside. I didn't do any candy; only toys. I still am not comfortable giving her sweets unless it is a birthday.

I found this fire truck light thingy at Party City for a couple bucks. Jillian had one from Grandma that was similar and when she was about 6 or so months she loved it. This one makes a fire truck sound. Crazy am I?
