Little man will be 4 in exactly one month! I can't believe it, I really can't. How can my youngest be 4? I'm freaking old!! Oh wait, this is a brag post.
I have been trying to get my kids to eat healthier, it has taken a long time of "just one taste" "one little bite" "no, you don't have to eat it all, but you have to try some atleast" Finally, we saw some positives when it comes to veggies. Little man loves salads, he almost ate my whole salad the other day rather than eating his jelly sandwich and chips. (yeah, I know that wasn't the healthiest lunch, but I needed to go grocery shopping and was desperate, lol.) I use very little dressing on my salads, I like something juicy on there in its place, like mandarin oranges or chunks of pineapple. So it was really a quite healthy lunch for my munchkin :)
Also, I have been working on having Little man lay in bed for some quiet time. He gave up naps over a year ago and some days he is just a beast! Quiet time usually helps him regroup and be a happier kid. We are up to 30 minutes a day now and he usually asks for quiet time, wohoo!! I get him about 5 books, right now Dr. Seuss is the bomb, and he will "read" to himself until the timer beeps. I'm thinking of working up to 45 minutes or so and calling that good rest time. Sure makes my computer time guilt free, tee hee.

Wow... never realized how close our boys are in age! Yay for Ian (and mommy)...
They are 20 months apart, way close if you compare the 3 years 10 months my older two are apart :)
Thanks :)
Drew and Sasha will be 20 mos. apart, too! My oldest two are 3 yrs and 3 mos., then down to 2 1/2 yrs. and now 20 mos. I'm not learning much, am I? ;)
Thats so cool!! 20 months is hard, but not too terrible, I think ;) Maybe you just like having an excuse for going crazy, tee hee. It works well for me, lol.
