Just a few random thoughts about the past few days…
The Good
- We’ve been able to spend a lot of time outside playing with neighborhood friends, building castles in the sand box, watering the plants, listening for woodpeckers, and jumping in puddles.
- We started a great nature class at a local park. So far we’ve learned about all kinds of birds and frogs. We even got to see a toad eat two worms this week!
- Julia has been getting better about trying all the food on her plate for dinner and seems to really like spicy food. Her all time favorite meal is still steak and peas but I’m finding I don’t need to omit the red pepper from my pasta sauce or anything else, she handles it just fine. She also has developed a taste for popcorn and especially likes it when I make it with a little Tabasco, onion powder, and garlic powder!
- While it’s been raining we’ve been “cooking” a lot in her play kitchen. Here she is practicing her flipping technique – a la Julia Child. I, of course, did not get the successful attempt on camera!
The Bad
- whining, whining, whining…. I don’t think I need to say more.
- Julia and I still have the cold that we came down with last week.
- Andrew traveled for work a couple of days this week (and will again next week) and it really threw Julia off. She likes her routines and missed him a lot (so did I).
and The Random
- weird food combo of the week: Julia’s lunch yesterday was a peanut butter and jelly sandwich dipped in hummus. yum.
- Julia doesn’t care which clothes I pick out for her to wear but she has definite opinions about what I put on. Yesterday she vehemently opposed 5 pairs of socks I picked out before she agreed with me on which ones I should wear. White apparently was not a good color…
- Julia is obsessed with eggs… and she can’t eat them. This drives me crazy which is probably why she is so obsessed. She is fascinated by all the displays of Easter eggs that are around, she points out every single egg she sees on TV, magazines, books, signs, etc. and, of course, her favorite book is Green Eggs and Ham.
love the flip! and that kitchen looks great and really familiar :) Glad you found one that you all like! and sorry about the whining - it drives me nuts! I've started telling Natalie that I don't understand that language. Shockingly, that has helped...
ReplyDeleteI used to be obsessed with horses growing up because I couldn't go near them. My allergy doc says the drops work for food allergies too, not sure what age you can start them though.
