New lows?

For dinner tonight, Ben and I had cold cuts, french fries, and peas.

Eden had string cheese, apple juice, corn flakes and ketchup (No milk - yes, ketchup ON the corn flakes. Her idea.), and and one chocolate covered raisin.

How much ketchup do you put on cornflakes? Do you drown them, like in milk? Or are they a kind of a dip? What if the cornflakes are towards the bottom of the box and are kind of crumbly?

Do I feel better about the single raisin or worse because it was chocolate covered?

It's all in how you look at it.
cold cuts= protein
french fries= fiber
peas= vegetables
Sounds like a well rounded meal to me.

There are days like that too.
string cheese is good stuff.

To explain - it was Ben and I who had the cold cuts, fries, and peas - that *is* my idea of well rounded :)

My three year old opted for corn flakes and ketchup instead ,,,,,

that is really gross. and i'm not usually so picky about my cereal. though...i guess you can have cornflake crusted chicken and put ketchup on it. so it's not such a foreign concept. maybe you should try putting a little bit of chocolate syrup into the milk. i've done that...(for myself)...

I just found your blog through another blog I read (Sarah Pritzker's- whom I know in "real life.") I am finding it thoroughly entertaining and comforting since I have very similar mommy experiences with my 2 year old, Sophie. We have definitely had dinners like that around here. Sometimes you just go into "survival mode" and do what works for that day.
