Picky Eater


I call these jammies "The sexy boy jammies" because he always unzips them just a little bit.
Well my son Chris is a picky eater. I have a whole list of things that he will not eat. It includes basic kid things like spaghetti, chicken noodle soup, potatoes, and grilled cheese. I've never really known what to feed him, because he pretty much won't touch anything that Tyler used to eat when he was Chris's age. Well this week we have had major breakthroughs with the food list. Not only did he try...but he loved three items that he formerly would not even touch. Yesterday it was grilled cheese dipped in tomato soup, and today it was hot dogs! The soup really surprised me yesterday, he hates soup! Hates it! I didn't even try it out on him, I gave some to Brooklyn because she will sometimes eat soup, and she loves tomatoes, so I gave her a little bit and she was eating it and loving it and Chris got curious and kept pointing at it and I gave him a spoonful, which led to a bowlful, which led to a piece of sandwich to dip in it, which led to all of Tyler's sandwich crusts to also dip in it...you get the picture. Well today, I fed the kids macaroni and cheese and they were eating it and I could tell that they were going to still be hungry when it was gone, and so I got out a hot dog and microwaved it and cut it in half and cooled it off and gave some to Brooklyn, and Chris pointed to it! Well I cut up part of the other half (because he used to really hate hot dogs) and I gave it to him and he started to stuff them in his mouth. He couldn't get enough of them. I had to cook a whole other hot dog for them. I used to not believe all those magazines that said to keep giving your kids stuff and they will eventually start to like it, well I'm a believer now!
Anyway, I've been having some trouble shaking the bad mood that I've been in the last couple of days. I don't know what the problem was but I painted my fingernails pink and I cut all of my hair off (more than a foot of hair!), and I finally got my house picked up, I think that I'm finally feeling better. I hope that the weather warms up again soon, so that I don't fall into any more slumps... I won't have any hair left. I really like the cut though, I was a little nervous about the bangs too because the last time I had bangs, I curled half of them up and half of them down and then ratted them and hairsprayed them until they were one big poofy mess!

I know that this is a weird picture, but I had to take it myself.

When Kate and Elise were little, they loved hot dogs. Liza and I are think they are sick, so we started calling them "sick-o's." That's what the girls thought they were called for a really long time. I think your hair is cute. Did you give your cut hair to locks of love?

Sara,
Haircut -- WAAAAYYYYY CUTE!! You are absolutely the best mom ever. I think when my kids hate something, we just cross it off the list of things to fix. How did the ticket go over? Lets get together soon!!

I really like the new hair. It makes you look a lot different, the color is nice too. Chris's sexy jammies remind me a little of Lachlan's Elvis jammies that she used to wear!
