Okay, so I know no one is going to be knocking down my door for the Mother of the Year award anytime soon, but I would like to reminisce about what a good mother I was planning on being. Is it the thought that counts?
For instance, I nursed Ryann for almost an ENTIRE year-11 months to the day, to be exact, and then she was over it and I didn’t want to put any pressure on her because I was kind of over it too. I followed the doctor’s instructions TO A TEE about what she should be eating and when. I printed out a toddler food pyramid so that my husband and I could make sure she was eating a balanced diet.
Over the last year, we’ve slipped up. I now count SpaghettiOs as a vegetable serving (it says right on the label!) and she probably has M&Ms more than she should. But today I hit an all-time low. She woke up all excited about having cereal. The entire time she was in the bath “Cereal? Cereal? Cereal?” and I promised her she could have some. Until we got downstairs and I realized we were out of MILK. This is an important component to her bowl of cereal. We did, however, have some half and half. So I watered it down and added it to the cereal. She ate it up like I gave her a bowl of chocolate ice cream. So I am wondering, how bad could it possibly be? What is the wierdest thing you fed your kid in a pinch?
