Nothing indulgent here even though I'm Polish and should totally be having an authentic pazcki today or at least some Polish sausage/kishka. Trying to be good for March though (starting yesterday). I was trying to lightly explain lent to N...she was like "what?!" Not like I'm going to make her participate or anything.

I have actually been trying to think of something I could do with S. Not abstain but add of course. Like read a story from her kids Bible? But let's be real I am just working on survival here.

Thus far I've had bacon, oatmeal, a frozen mimosa, pepperoni pizza, ham & Brie sandwich, and rum punch. Should be finding lunch soon ;-) hoping for a roast beef poboy

Hey! I have been a little MIA since DD's birthday weekend. She was seriously delighted by the aquarium and it was a super nice day so she also got to run around the playground. It ended up being a great day even though we didn't do exactly what I had wanted but it was a pretty uncomfortable weekend in general with the ILs - and I guess they felt the same way because they ended up changing their flight and leaving earlier than originally planned. My FIL is really turning into a cranky old man. He just wanted to sit and watch college basketball games that no one else cared about the entire time, despite us mentioning multiple times that we'd prefer if he'd turn the TV off while E was in the room.
E also had her 2 year appointment on Friday and they recommended taking her to an eye doctor so we have to figure that out. The pediatrician also recommended moving down to 1% milk - is that what other people are using now? I've also started asking DD if she would like some water sometimes instead - that kid drinks so much milk.
dmorgendorffer I am glad you went to the aquarium for her birthday and that she enjoyed it. Sorry the ILs made it a tense weekend though .
As far as the milk goes our pedi didn't say anything about whole vs 1℅ but she maybe drinks 8oz a day so I am guessing he wasn't worried? He actually mentioned that she would need to make sure she got vitamin D from a different source so I am guessing he wouldn't have recommended it even if she drank more? I do think 2 is a normal time frame though the benefits of the dha in whole milk are gone now I believe?

Love tit for the aquarium and good birthday, not the ILs dmorgendorffer.
Nothing was said to us about 1%. I know there are recommendations to go to 2% for the calories, but I'm keeping DS on whole milk for the fat content for neural development. He drinks maybe 16oz a day of milk and drinks water all day long.
dmorgendorffer I'm glad you and E had some fun times despite your cranky FIL. My father is getting that way with the adults but is generally good around the girls...for now. T&Ps about the eye doctor; I hope it's nothing!
We've been on 2% for a while since we use it for both girls (Dr suggested this so we don't have to buy 2 types). They would drink it all day long if it were up to them but I only give it at breakfast and sometimes dinner (they get a lot of dairy otherwise in their diet). Water for lunch and snacks/throughout the day.

Lunch was a shrimp po'boy and fried okra, plus a vanilla cupcake dyed Mardi Gras colors.
Someone took DS's backpack at school yesterday and his teachers were wondering where it was yesterday morning. But it was back on the shelf at school this morning. I don't know if a kid in a different class wandered off with it because it was all the normal early kids there this morning when we got there. Now if we can find his cup that I know he had with him yesterday (a girl has a green 360 cup and his is blue so it might have gone wandering to anot her classroom).

Winding down Mardi Gras festivities, I think. Need to sort through the massive amount of throws we got. Anyone want beads? Happy to mail them to necklace loving kiddos. Or adults ;-)

G drinks whole milk but only 0-8oz in any given week. Just when he asks / accepts my offer at breakfast. Other than that he just drinks water - at meals and always available in a sippy cup.
He's nursing throughout the day still. Minimum 3 times.

Yeah the have shown that those benefits are gone at this age. If you look at them AAP guidelines they recommend switching at 2 years of age.
V never took to drinking WCM, we just made sure we fed him lots of cheese yogurt and avacados. His pediatrician didn't mention anything at his two year appointment about milk though.
