Keeping things interesting...

Lately Wade has boycotted eating at regular meal times. He'll take one bite of everything (our rule), and announce he's done. So I've started putting plastic wrap on his trays and putting them in the fridge for when he's hungry again in an hour (or less). I thought I'd make it a little more interesting, so I took last night's dinner and this morning's breakfast leftovers and put them, along with a few added fruits into an ice cube tray. He loved his "special lunch" and, although he didn't eat it all, it served as a more interesting way to eat up those leftovers :)


Quite a few proteins in here! Menu: Pancakes made with pee pee balls (what Wade calls M & M's- that's a whole other story), blueberries, chicken, broccoli, cheese, mandarin oranges, cherries, hot dogs, tortilla strips, breakfast sausages. Next time, I think I will add a few more veggies and not quite so many meats :)

Today we visited to a new place called Safari Camp with Shelly, the girls and Thomas. It's a huge indoor playscape, complete with slides, bridges, hanging punching bags (I don't know what else to call them), a small basketball area and a zipline. It was a lot of fun, although crowded. Apparently discount Wednesdays ($3 per kid) + rainy day = CRAZINESS!

Zipline!

What a clever idea with his food!! I'm thinking that ice cube tray looks pretty good myself.. Looks like he had fun at the Safari Camp..saw that on facebook and wondered what it was all about. xo

LOVE the food idea. I have the same problem with Rayleigh. I may borrow your idea.
