BACKYARD: Kylie was quite entertained with the garden sprinkler. I'm sure the cool water felt great on such a hot day.
GOT MILK? : Its now been 11 days since I took away Kylie's bottles and she still hasn't drank any milk. I took these pictures while trying to get her to drink from a milk box. I've also tried every type of sipper cup, but as soon as she tastes that its milk she screws up her face and throws the cup. Water, juice, soda...that's all okay, but milk - NO WAY! Even though she's happy, active, and seems content, I've been concerned. She's been eating like a horse to make up for the lack of milk calories and her diapers are mostly dry. Tonight I gave in and let Nate give Kylie a bottle to take to bed. Funny, but she didn't seem that excited. When I checked back she was asleep holding the bottle, still FULL of milk. Hum, maybe she doesn't like milk now?
WWW.PBSKIDS.ORG: It is amazing how fast Allie is honing her mouse-ing skills. Her favorite game at the moment is a Cliford the Big Red Dog hide-and-seek. It shows 3 toys (firetruck, rocking horse, bell, ect.), behind one Clifford is hiding. She has to click on the right one after hearing a corresponding sound. When she's right the toy flies into the toy box. I love the theme of cleaning up ;). She also like to play the games on www.strawberryshortcake.com, but they are a bit more advanced and needs my help.
SOFTBALL GAME: Ah, there nothing like relaxing on the shady grass in the summer evening. For the girls this means treats and running free. Allie picked up a few home run balls and turned them in for bubble gums.

Wow Sarah, these are some great pictures, I love the close up of Kylie's hand with the straw. i'm sure you're just loving it.
I have a couple of friends whose kids would not drink milk so they mixed a little strawberry or chocolate flavoring into it or a bit of carnation instant breakfast. Apparently once they got the kids hooked on that they just diminished the amount until they were drinking regular milk. I don't think this technique would work with all kids, but who knows...
