Happy First Week of Advent, December (as of Saturday) and the Christmas Season. It's time for another session of Currently @ the Innes's. So here we go...
Watching-- I'm previewing some new instruction videos on Rome our media center got for my Honors World History to see if any of them could be useful in class. So far--one down and one more to go.
Wishing-- for a simple holiday season, but somehow I don't think I'm going to get this one. I really want to toss all the lists and enjoy time with my husband and son. I need this, badly--to rest and recharge. I do hope that I can do this. My "debbie-downer" side is just pushing her way to the front of my head reminding me how much I still need to do (unfortunately most of it is teaching related) before I can relax.
Waiting--for my son to finally go to bed. The hubs was in charge in bedtime tonight and I can still hear little feet running around upstairs. He is going to be a bear tomorrow if he doesn't go to bed soon. I just may have to stage a mommy intervention.
Wondering-- if we will actually get snow for Christmas or not. Last year we had a green Christmas-- followed by a little bit of snow in January and February.
Worrying--about my son and his really picky eating habits. If it is not fruit, pretzels, cucumbers, chicken nuggets, or peanut butter and jelly, he doesn't want to touch it. I can't tell you the last time he willingly drank milk. I still cook dinner and we give him bites to try, but he doesn't eat them. Now I should say that he has not always been like this-- he used to love lots of types of food, textures, and tastes, but in the last couple of months it's gotten a bit "crazy" and it is really beginning to worry me. I'll take any suggestions if you have them. I need to get this kid to eat more variety again.
So what's going on at your house? Share your story and link up!
Hi! I'm new to your blog, visiting from the Currently link up. My 2 1/2 year old daughters eat a huge variety of foods. Some of "tricks" include offering several different veggies and fruits at meals and always serving the kids the same thing we are eating. We never made them eat something they don't like. However, if they don't clean their plates, they don't get second helpings of anything. That has made them eager to eat their veggies!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip. I think I may try a version with something he likes with the food we eat. Something like... "You don't finish your dinner, you can't get more strawberries..."
