They tell you at the doctor that you must stay away from certain foods with babies until they reach a certain age because of possible food allergies. This being the case - Nuts and Honey are pretty much banned for any baby until they have reached a peak old age of one. Now I wonder.... how the hell do the doctors know that this magical age of "one" is safe? I mean I know they have medical school and many years of research - but as I just look at myself, I don't feel any different about a birthday (except when I turned 16, 18, 21, 30 and 40) - so how does the baby know that it is now okay to eat the forbidden foods???? Strange.
So - last night at the dinner table, after they had polished off the sweet potatoes, eggs, toast and oranges (yea - a crap load of food!) - they were looking for a snack.... So, I have graham crackers in the cabinet - and away we go! Mommy is the greatest..... They are chanting and giggling and eating and everyone is harmonious. As the snack ended, I received three reactions:
1. I am thirsty (Pia)
2. What? No more? (Mary)
3. Are you seriously freakin' kidding me?? NO MORE??? (Sam a.k.a. LF)
The morning crying has just begun - LF is starving and he is letting me know it from his bed ... (I am going to have to video tape the crying because it is too precious to describe.... If he could talk: "MOMMY - I NEED A BOOOOTTTLLLLEEE... oh sob sob... MOMMMMMMMY..... I NEED A BOTTTTLLLEEE!") When I walk into their room - the girls will be sitting so nicely playing and just smile at me - because hey - Sammy can spend all his energy - why should they waste theirs???
So - off I go to start my day - Larry, Moe and Curly await! (just kidding...or am I)?
Zoltan OUT!
