| Baby Ballet - October 31, 2011 |
Nadia had fun painting two pumpkins today. In case you were wondering, washable tempera paint is easily washed off of skin and the kids' table, but it doesn't come out of cotton clothing very easily. I followed the directions on the bottle, but there are still some blue stains on Ian's shirt and my turtleneck (from when he rubbed the paint brush on my sleeve). I won't be letting Ian anywhere near the tempera paint anytime in the near future.
Nadia also had a blast today because I let her wear her costume All Day Long. What a thrill! This morning we did our weekly CVS run, and I also stopped our local grocery store because Ian was almost out of rice drink. Well they don't sell rice drink, and they were out of almond milk. We had to stop at another grocery store several hours later en route to ballet to buy some rice drink. Everytime we entered a store today, Nadia took off her coat so people could see her costume better. It was rather chilly this evening so we decided to skip taking the kids trick-or-treating. It just feels weird that we'd have to drive somewhere to go trick-or-treating. I'd be more inclined to participate if we could do it in our own neighborhood.
Ian's duocal arrived in the mail today. I added two scoops (50 calories) into each sippy cup. I'll see what the dietician says on Thursday as well as what the scale tells me as I weigh him in the next several days to help guide me as to whether to increase or decrease this amount. My big accomplishment was planning out what we're going to have for dinner each night in November. The plan includes five new recipes. I recently started using pinterest, and it's helpful for finding recipes. Before I head to bed tonight, I hope to make a list of what is needed for all the recipes and also check my pantry against the list so I know what I need to buy. My goal is to start doing this every month. Including new recipes is definitely making the planning and cooking process more exciting although some new recipes will likely be "duds." The last few I've tried have all been winners; the chocolate banana bread, crock pot roast, chicken barbecue, and tuna melt pie were all hits!

How many sippy cups do you give him a day? I add 2 scoops to 3 to 4 of Bailey's bottles. She is already getting 30 calories an oz because she takes boost. This virus has really made both Wyatt and Bailey lose weight. We are still having problems.
