'MoreToad Food'


Anyone who knows Harry knows that he's a big, sometimes insatiable eater. I think today's lunch pretty much sums up his need for food, and lots of it.

1 organic chicken hotdog, no skin, sliced
1/8 cup peas and carrots, steamed
1/4 cup pears and strawberries

Most kids would be done at this juncture. But not Harry!

Round two involved eating half of mom's lunch.

1/4 cup Quinoa
1/4 cup curry tofu with diced tomatoes

It was the tofu he couldn't ingest fast enough, ordering 'more toad food!"

Today Charlotte had her 6-month check (a month late because of delayed vaccinations). Harry insisted on going along to the pediatrician to see "Doctor Maisy," a new favorite storybook character. Frankly Dr. Bergman DOES look a little bit like a mouse.

After peeing on the changing table -- an act that annoyed a nurse I don't at all like (way to go Charlie!), she got her vital stats: Huge head, 80th percentile for weight...and short. It is not the stuff of a runway model, but who know exactly what Heidi Klum looked like as an infant anyway, right? Charlie, I think you're just right.

You're lunch sounds good...can you start packing lunches for me?

Ugh...I meant "your lunch," of course.

I make Harry's lunch at 6 a.m...come on by then and you can sample the menu.

I'll see your quinoa and tofu and raise you dandelion greens and fiddleheads! Yes, it's true, we had weeds for lunch yesterday. But fiddleheads are perfect kid food --think "wheels" instead of "trees." Dandelion greens, not so interesting, but still tasty.
