Just trying to figure all this marriage / parenthood / career business out without losing my footing and plunging into the abyss. Regular everday stuff, really.
This time you must use words because I'm just not so sure. We keep telling Brenna that you have to eat a rainbow, but it's tough when they're little. Eh?
By the spoon: that's 'corn casserole' from a jar -- it's basically corn and water and some cornstarch to give it that spoonable jello consistency. She really only eats veggies from jars.
The crumbly stuff: homemade apple crisp / apple betty / apple crumble / whatever you call it in the region where you live. It's mostly apples and cinnamon and oats and butter.
In squares: whole wheat pita with hummus.
She actually ate it all--okay, she licked the hummus off the pita. It's no rainbow, but it kinda was a balanced meal, non?
I'm an untenured university professor raising the world's biggest preschooler -- I work in multimedia and wet-wipes. I'm trying to learn how to be calm, and how to plaster walls.

Shades of beige and brown...what is it all?
What is the white stuff?

Huh.
I'm intrigued. Especially about the portion closest to the spoon.
Okay!

It is the shared community represented in posts like this that make me feel like I am not alone in the world.
I think, "I am not alone. Mimi too places a destitute and sad looking child's plate on the table..."
Apple brown betty! Aha! I kept wondering what the huge pile of bacon was doing there ....
Looks like something the baby would enjoy...but I'd have to pass on the corn from a jar.
They're lovely colors for a bed ensemble.
