Curried Beef Short Ribs

Note: I found this was more realistically four servings.

Finishing this dish with lime zest and juice brightens its rich flavors.

Yield 6 servings (serving size: about 3 ounces ribs, 2/3 cup rice, and about 2 1/2 tablespoons sauce)

Snips & Snails

I told Keegan's daycare yesterday that he'll be leaving in May. I put it off as long as possible but I wanted them to be able to make any plans they needed to. They were upset which is actually nice to know that they enjoyed him so much. The director assured me that it will be better for Keegan to have all these changes at once as opposed to over a longer time. Otherwise he might be anxious about each change and not be able to let his guard down thinking something else was coming soon. It is comforting to know that little ones are so adaptable.

Cute stuff:
1. As soon as Keegan hears the bathtub running he races to the tub and puts his hands under the faucet. When he is undressed and ready to get in, he gets all wiggly with excitement.

2. I was finishing up a counter top the other night and had to nail in strips of wood. Not only was Keegan not scared of all the noise but he wanted to bang along side of me. I will never forget his chubby hands wrapped around his little plastic hammer pounding next to me.

3. When Keegan is done eating or drinking he will throw the food or cup off of his highchair. I am trying to teach him to just leave them in place on the tray instead. He will fake me out by waving the item over the side of the tray and then quickly bringing it back to his mouth. He has this sly little grin on the whole time. As soon as I think it is safe to turn away he will throw it on the floor. Tricky bugger.

Those three things remind me so much of my son. Scottie does the same fake out food trick in his high chair.
Don't you just love this age? They are just so much fun!

My son (who turns 2 in a few days) love to vacuum right along beside us. He has this little Hoover that actually works and the minute we say we're going to vacuum, he'll go grab his, wait for us to turn it on and then he turns his on and away we go. It's so cute! I wish I could get so excited about vacuuming!
