Meal Time
GRRRRRRR...Meal time is my LEAST favorite time of the day. Oh my gosh, it is soooo frustrating! I have become a short order cook and guess what? I DO NOT COOK! So, this is getting old- QUICK!
AJ used to eat pretty much anything. He wasn't that picky. I know that as kids get older, they get pickier and I expected that. But THIS is getting really tiring. For breakfast, I make him a waffle. Then when he doesn't eat that, I try cereal, then I try toast, then I try fruit. I go for fruit last because he will typically eat that..and ONLY that. Keep in mind that all these other things I try, he has liked at one point. It's not like I'm making him try these new crazy things!
For lunch, it's the same ole thing. We try peanut butter sandwiches, then cheese, then cheese bread, then chicken, then mac n cheese and then we end up with fruit and a few crackers. Grrrr!!!
Dinner...well, you get the point. I try and try and try and he eats nothing! My only saving grace is that he drinks a ton of milk- perhaps too much milk and thats why he's not eating anything else???
Not only do I feel like I am the most wasteful person on the planet, but I also feel like I spend half my day just trying to shove food down AJ's throat! In my mind, I know that he will eat if he's hungry, but can't he just eat like a normal person? 3 times a day or so???
Here's a list of what is in my refrigerator right now that I will probably have to throw away because he won't eat it:
carrots
sweet potatoes
corn (ok, he eats this)
chicken pieces
1/2 eaten yogurt
1/2 eaten applesauce
raspberries
blueberries
grapes
1/2 eaten pieces of cheese
Ok, so I know that the above ingredients do not show that I cook, but you get the idea right?!

Preschool???
Isn't it a little early to be thinking about preschool??? I certainly think so, but if I want to get AJ into a good one, then I had to start looking into them.
I registered AJ at this wonderful school called Little Blessings. He is officially on the waiting list and can start as early as January 2010 assuming the list isn't too long. I signed him up to go 2 days a week, Tuesday & Thursday from 9-2:30pm.
MOST of the moms I know in Castle Rock either send their kids there now, or sent them in the past. I've heard such wonderful things. They learn things such as social interaction, Spanish, arts and crafts, healthy habits, large motor skills and so much more! I'm really excited for AJ to do this because I know he'll really enjoy himself.
Again, I ask...wasn't he just born????
