I can never quite believe how I let time get away from me when I'm home for the summer, but it always seems to happen. I am in the middle of more projects than I care to count right now and I seem to be only adding more rather than crossing them off my list!
Sarah is changing like crazy right now, especially her language! She has started counting to 11 or 12 but she always leaves out the number 2. Why, we're not quite sure because we always use the 2 when we count with her. It's funny to hear, "1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11" 
This pic is not of us torturing Sarah...See the piece of chicken in front of her? We are still struggling with our picky eater and have really been trying to dig in our heels with making her eat things that we know she likes/has liked in the past. The girl will eat McDonald's Chicken McNuggets like nobody's business, but when it comes to real chicken, she says, "I'm done! Done now please." This little chunk of chicken was the source of great angst at the dinner table complete with hysterical crying for a really, really long time. The chicken did not get eaten by the way. It seems that the little one is just as stubborn as her daddy! I'm all ears for suggestions from other mommy's about really, really picky eaters...
In other, more yummy news, we discovered a new ice cream shop in town over the weekend. It's called "The Sweetery" and yum-o! There is nothing good-for-you about it but boy, oh, boy does it taste good! The girls had cotton candy ice cream that tasted amazingly like cotton candy.

Where's 2?

Our opinion- you can't be the boss of the picky eater. It's a control thing. You won't win, you'll make them cry, you'll be mad, it's bad all around.We've tried begging, bribing, punishing, the works. Nothing helps. What does work is to always offer something at a meal you know they will eat- setting up for success. You of course know about that! Then ask to take a "no thank you bite" (sometimes works, not often) and then we usually save the meal she didn't eat and re-offer it later when she is hungry. (Yeah right, this doesn't work either.) The times she has tried new food is when I have not even talked about it. It's been her idea.
It's so so so frustrating. I know.
