Changes Big and Small

The kids continue to grow, as kids are prone to do. And the fuel that supports that growth must change, as well:

Last night, I decided to make extra rice for supper to stash some away in the freezer for a future pot of soup. Until now, three cups of dry uncooked rice have made enough for everyone, so I measured four cups to give some extra. At supper, the children devoured it all and asked for more. Costco, here I come.

Kola has always complained that his milk is too cold, and we have obliged him by heating his glass in the microwave. Even so, it's the last thing he drinks, and in the morning rush before school, he downs it in a maddeningly slow manner. Two days ago, for the first time, he emptied his (cold) milk glass into his cereal. Thank goodness for another step of acculturation!
