Rules Revised

Our family rule;
"You get what you get and you don't throw a fit!"
Sadie's revised rule;
"I get what I want and I eat it quick!"
She has declared this to be so.

Sean's Theory

Every parental action has a greater and opposite Sadie reaction.

Refining His Pallet

Brady just ate one of the Algae Thins that we have for our algae eater.
"Someone" (it could have been Sean, but I am not the kind of person who would tell you that...) left them down where he could reach them.
I stopped him before he could get a second one in his mouth.

YUCKY!!!

What She Heard

This morning Sadie was singing,
"Shake, shake, shake Senora. Shake your bottom fine!"

She then stopped and said, "Mom, those are silly words. Lets change them to
"Shake, shake, shake, Senora. Do the tooshie shaker!"

What He Eats

You moms of little boys won't be shocked by this. I still am. I am blown away - daily- by what Brady eats!

Breakfast: A bowl of oatmeal with raisins or half of a banana added. This would be the same amount of oatmeal that his father eats for breakfast. 2/3 cup. He usually wants to snack on more raisins when he is done with that.

Lunch: 3/4 cup of mashed mixed veggies, applesauce, or sweet potatoes. That is mixed with 1/4 cup of baby cereal. Also 1/2 cup of leftovers from dinner the night before. Today we had homemade macaroni and cheese. He also had more raisins and a small cup of apple juice mixed with water.
I would like to mention that when he was done with all of that he wanted more.
Has anyone ever read the children's book "Bear Wants More"? We say that a lot at our house!


Dinner: He once again eats 3/4 cup of mixed veggies, applesauce, or sweet potatoes mixed with baby cereal, but most of the time for dinner he eats TWO servings of that. He will also have 1/2 cup of whatever we are eating for dinner that he can get down with his one little chomping tooth.

He also still nurses and has random snacks throughout the day.
Brady is at 50% on the weight chart. I do worry that someday he will be one of those kids on the Dr Phil show that is 3 and weighs 200 lbs. Sheesh!

My friends with boys have always told me that their kids never stop eating. I believe you now. :) I really don't understand why. He doesn't seem to be more active at this point in his life. He is crawling around and walking around furniture as much as his sister's did. Even Sadie didn't eat this much!

Sibling Duet

Make sure your speakers aren't turned up all the way. I don't want to be responsible for your headache. :D

Bilingual Sadie

I have been out of commission for a couple of days. Sean played Mr. Mom. He said that at dinner the other night Sadie was sharing some of her language skills.

"Dad, I know how to say "lunch" in Spanish!"

She shimmied.

Ole'!
