Our future addict

Most kids have a lovey of some sort. They boy has blankies. I bought two so that if I needed to wash one we would still have one for him to sleep with. Total backfire...he now has to have one folded into a square as a pillow and one to cover up with. Stars out, of course. I tried to give the girl a blankie or a bear. No way, Jose. This kid won't sleep without a bottle of Tylenol clutched in her fist. Or Orajel. Or the dropper from the Ibuprofen. Or, as is more often the case, all three. Sometimes we can substitute her toothbrush and a baby wipe but usually it has to be some form of pain reliever. Don't worry, the bottles are empty but she doesn't need to know that. Shhhhhh. Nighty night little pharmacist, nighty night.

Health food

So, I know why you lose weight when you eat healthy food. Portion size. I eat FAR less food when all that is in front of me is yucky. If anyone knows a way to make healthy rice taste good please share the secret with my husband, the chef.
