Sometimes on weekends we go out after dinner for what Kate refers to as "special treats." This phrase is pronounced "sepple tweats" and in her world, it means ice cream. After a long stint at Cold Stone Creamery, we were getting bored, so lately we've been heading downtown to 66 Diner, a 1950s-style diner with fabulous milkshakes. Kate is impressed. The only problem is that once she latches on to the straw, she doesn't want to let go. It's like she thinks someone is going to take it from her if she doesn't drink it all in one giant slurp. We have been working on teaching her how to take breaks so she doesn't freeze her brain. But look how happy that face is! It cracks me up. (Photos taken with Dan's i-Phone.)

I like this little family tradition.
