Toddler meal updates

I haven’t shared much in the kiddo food department in a while and that’s mostly because not much has changed. He prefers mainly carbs to start the day, which is odd since he used to LIVE and DIE for eggs.  Now he’s over the eggs.  Whatever.  He alternates between home-made quick breads, waffles, pancakes, donuts, and oatmeal.  All with a bunch of fruit (usually blueberries or grapes).  And bear in mind this is after his pre-breakfast snack of apple slices.  And then typically sunflower and pumpkin seeds until he’s full.

Chatter

My brain is all over the place today.  We’ve been up since 5 am and we are all sick.  Sleep has been so out of whack this week.  Example: P passed out on the floor of the toy room at 9:30 am on Tuesday while I changed V’s diaper before we set off for library.  I tried to wake him but he was out.  So he napped there on the floor of the toy room!  For 1.5 hours!  Now I really wish I’d followed through and gotten a monitor in the toy room.  He woke up… Read more >
