edamame, something green the kids love to eat...

The kids and I had a sweet home day today. Lili was exposed to the chicken pox a little over 2 weeks ago, and so the past few days I have been on the lookout for spots. Today brought one spot on her leg that looks suspicious. So we have been staying home bound just in case she is contagious. On days like this I get so wrapped up in being cozy and domestic that I forget to even get out and go for walks or reach out to friends. Sometimes I feel bad about my hermit-like personality in the winter, but mostly it feels right. 

Both kids happily ate green things today. They both chugged a glass of iced nettle infusion and we all ate a bowl of salted edamame (soybeans) for lunch. Any time I don't have to beg to get green in Lili feels like a victorious day. I swear Seo was like a bear eating them. I was trying to regulate what and how much he ate. But he was practically growling when I would pry a fistful of pods from his hand. He wanted to eat them shells and all.  Crazy boy.

We also got a chance to read some newly gifted to us books today too (So Many Days,  All the World, and Little Yellow, Pear Tomatoes) Reading picture books to kids is simply the best.

The. Best.
