We have just harvested our first broccoli here. Bright seemed to enjoy eating it raw. Kind of fun to be able to just hand him a stalk and let him have at it. Tough to chew though without any grinders so as he walked around chomping on it, his cheeks began to puff like a chipmunk's. I asked him if he had too much and he nodded yes, opened his mouth and let it all roll out...
Bright seemed to find my floppy hat to be really funny. Gotta love it when they are amused by the smallest things. We took him outside on one of the hotter days this week and filled up a dishpan with soapy water and took that out too. He had the greatest time just filling up cups of water and dumping them out or sending the bubbles flying. Cheap fun. Can't beat it! You can see only a small portion of his construction trucks squadron in the picture below.
It seems like getting him to eat these days involves lots of distracting tools. Jar lids, small toys, a plethora of batman action figures twist-tied to the chandelier and sent spinning, etc- all help to distract him so we can sneak some food in his mouth. Such a busy boy he doesn't want to stop to eat. One thing we have found to help make sure he gets some good vitamins is V8-Fusion juices- one cup is a whole serving of both fruits and veggies. Sounds like an ad, huh? It tastes great- try the Banana Strawberry. He loves it!

Bright is looking GREAT! I love all of these good ideas - water and cups outside....so simple and such a good idea. Graham loves to just fling stuff everywhere...so this sounds like a good plan :)
Graham's still not talking much either - LOTS 'o babbling, but no real words except the same mamamama and dadadada stuff we've been getting for awhile. I know he understands a lot of words though, so that's good.
We just had the staff lunch at Meadowlark/BV yesterday and I thought of you...YUMMY food and a beautiful farewell to Sue H. as she is retiring this year.
