My helpers
I've started 2 new programs to get the kids to help out around the house:
Every morning they have to straighten up downstairs before they can go
outside to play. They the itching to get outside pretty much as soon
as they wake up, so they are willing to do what it takes to get
permission to go outside. They have to make their beds, put away any
clothes and books in the right spot, make sure the bathroom and
playroom are neat. We call it morning inspection and it's been
working so far!
Last night I started "find 3 things." Each person has to find 3
things that are out of place and put them away where they belong. I'm
hoping this will help with clutter.

2 week checkup
Baby Eli had his 2 week checkup today (1 day early). He's gained 9oz
in 9 days to be almost back to his birth weight. He's 25th percentile
for weight, 50th for length, and 50th for head. Another long and lean
Frankovitch boy!

they watch Star Wars. I found this t-shirt for Jonah's birthday and I
know he'll love it. And he'll look adorable in it too!

Birth weight
Baby Eli weighed 6 lbs 12 oz today, so he needs to gain 4 oz over the
next 3 days to get back to birth weight by 2 weeks old and make his
pediatrician happy. Gain Eli, gain!
