You know how they recommend getting your picky eater involved with her food to make her more willing to try new foods?
Guess how that worked out?
Forty-Two Months Fun Facts
- Frances's Mispronunciations: One of my favorites right now is "eleventeen." Frances throws it in any time she's counting over ten and gets stuck. So we get, "ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, eleventeen, sixteen." Very useful.
- Frances on growth: Frances has been talking a lot about growing lately. The idea seems to make her nervous, like she's afraid it's going to hurt. I'm sure this has something to do with Chandler. We try to reassure her that growing won't be so bad, since any kid with a six foot, six inch father probably has a lot of growing to do.
- Frances's Triumph: In preparation for Frances's end of the school year parent-teacher conference, I had to list her recent accomplishments at home. I was really impressed with how many I came up with. The potty training was huge, of course. And her rediscovered ability to go to sleep on her own is a real sanity saver. Pepperoni is no longer a staple of her diet, mostly because I hardly give it to her anymore. She tries a new food every night. So far, trying new foods has not led her to expand her repertoire at all - she's only interested in one bite of each new food - but it still feels like progress. And she seems to be doing great with her sister. Certainly, there are bad days, but there's also cause for hope.
