I’m sure you’re all curious how our family meal plan is going. I’m sorry I’ve gotten lax with the daily updates, but really it’s not that exciting. The first week Eve, Alan, and I enjoyed tasty meals and Lex went to bed hungry. This ended in him waking up Saturday morning feeling very sick. He threw up some stomach bile and eventually was able to eat some food. I think maybe he realized that his stomach was too empty. The next week Eve, Alan, and I enjoyed tasty meals while Lex sat at the table with us (yay!) and ate carrots. I think maybe he also had some cucumbers and applesauce that week. Earlier this week he decided to branch out and try green peppers. The next night he tried yellow peppers and told me that if I bought corn on the cob he would try that too. He says, “I think I used to like corn on the cob when I was little.” Oh if only he ate everything he used to like when he was little! Tonight he ate corn on the cob and grapes for dinner. And three bowls of watermelon for snack! The fruit and veggies dinners seem silly, but he gets plenty of grains throughout the day (like a big bowl of oatmeal for lunch) and milk with two or three meals, so I think we’re doing ok. The key is he now sits with us, eats what he likes on the table, and doesn’t complain. It’s awesome!! :)
PS. He starts school in 12 days. Eek!
