Another milestone -

Kid eats better when I vary the menu. Before, I kept it narrow so it stayed familiar and less scary.

Now, if I give the same thing for breakfast twice in a row? Compliance is not guaranteed.

Yesterday, it was rice krispy treats and chocolate milk (shush - there's no nutrition at all if the kid won't eat it). As it was the day before.

Yeah, he ate it. Meh.

This morning was muffin tops and Yakult. OM NOM NOM GONE.

Neither foods are preferred - I'll take it.

In other news, the best estimate on when his sister could come home is in 2012. *sighs*

What's Yakult?

[kyburg.livejournal.com]

Fast answer - a yogurt-based soft drink.

Long answer - Go have a look.

I packed one in my lunch today - they're tasty!

Sometimes it is more important just that you eat something.

Far away adoption

That sounds like a bummer, except that it isn't. Think of it in terms of being able to prep kid for that big change slooowly (as in, for example, using any new siblings that a school friend might talk about to him as a conversation starter about how he would feel about having a younger sibling). Also, he gets to strengthen the bond with the both of you until a little sister comes in. Believe you me, that bond gets tested when you add more children to the mix, and that's when you're the producer: kids do worry about being replaceable, you know. :P

We used to have peanut M&M's on the run for breakfast when I was growing up. After all, there's protein in the peanuts!
