Num 'n' Yuk

Turned up early to get Bax from daycare this week and he and the gang were still eating afternoon tea. Of course the minute he saw me he refused to sit on his little chair but forced his way onto my lap instead and then had a bit of a fit when I suggested he eat the baked bean and cheese scone on his plate - actually though that combo makes me feel a little off-food too. The lovely daycare lady insisted that this was a one off for my benefit only performance but still.

The food thing was really getting to me this week so I decided to bite it in the bum - scuse the expression. I got Bax to help me make a batch of cheese scones and some banana and chocolate mini-muffins this week. Now he really likes helping in the kitchen. He stands up on the little kitchen stool-steps and eats egg shells and stirs flour and says Num a lot which is very helpful.

And the other thing we've started doing is sitting up as a family together. Means G and I eat very early but we are eating better and Bax does his bit too. Nice to actually make dinner conversation with the telly off, and all that. Meat and three veg is making a come back at our place. And then for pud we have a bit of fruit which I cut up into pieces and share between us - ooorrrrrhhhhh! (oh you're just jealous!)
