(Aha! It's meant to say prejudice, isn't it? I honestly didn't know. Huh. Bad Fay! No Primary Teacher biscuit for you!)

Heh. I got the predigest, but that's because that's about Julia's spelling level, right now. Working out what she's written is eerily similar to working out what she was saying, when she was a toddler. It's largely in the vowel wounds.

It's largely in the vowel wounds.

Quick, get me a compress and some mercurium chromate! This A has sustained a premature insertion and it scraped all the skin off the left side!

Oh! I totally did not understand what "predigest" was getting at. Wow.

Um.

Wow.

I got "predigest" sadly because of a few people in my online class.

Seriously? PREJUDICE! Here I was thinking it was the most appauling spelling of pederasty. I'ma be over here in the dirty mind corner.

My cat has discovered how to wake me up so she can demand food. I should really get myself a Roomba and sic in on her.

yawn Eeep it's cold. Hugging laptop in lap as portable heater.

Such wonderful food advice Cindy. I regret my pathetic efforts at getting the boys to eat well. I did well in the beginning. No cows milk the first couple years because of my diabetes fear. Still Bobby's sugar tolerance is not so good. His only health issue is sugar related. He has to eat every few hours and avoids sugar. Failure to follow the rules results in massive headaches and vomiting. Poor kid.

Both boys are huge and healthy, but the eat completely differently. Bobby will try anything, but is vegetable avoidant. Bobby doesn't like cereal and wants hot breakfast every day. Luckily he is handy in the kitchen. Brendon has a very limited menu. He is crazy picky. He refuses to try anything new. Nothing that is combined foods. No sandwiches, no casseroles. The most combiny he gets is cereal with milk or butter on pasta. And cheap box mac 'n cheese. Lone exception is pizza. Only cheese of course. His every day school lunch. Stuff can't touch on his plate. He will eat any meat or seafood if it is cooked plain, and he will eat any fruit. No veggies except carrots. He will take a plate and get a plain burger, no cheese or bun or condiments. He'll eat it, then get another plate for fruit or another side dish if it is not veggie or anything not plain. He drinks an insane amount of soda, milk, anything else. We go through a gallon of milk a day.

I didn't want to battle over food and now I pay the price. Too often we have 4 people eating 4 things at a meal. We don't have a water drinking problem because of the Florida thing. Also the sports they play. Cold water is available via a water cooler at home and at the office. Bottles and orange coolers of the stuff are around at games and when they go fishing. They'll grab a soda or gatorade in a hurry, but water gets consumed too.

You can't force a kid to eat. I just wonder if I had made more of an effort if they would be eating spinach and asparagus with me. It makes me feel like bad mom when they turn up their noses at food when presented at friends or relatives houses. Oh well. Can't fix it now.

(It has taken me somewhere close to forever to type this. I keep getting distracted.)

Hee. I got predigest instantly. Must be from reading kids writing.

I got predigest - -but it took a bit.

Do toddlers do that thing where they get really skinny, then they build up for a bit and get kinda chunky then they have a growth spurt and are really skinny again?
