Sugar high Saturday

This morning we took Willie to his first Easter egg hunt!  We walked downtown to the park, where there were lots of kids and lots of "hidden" eggs.  By hidden, I mean they were just sitting on the grass, haha.  Anyway, there was a special section for kids age 3 and under.  Willie knew exactly what he was supposed to do, and was patiently waiting for the countdown!

 Ready....set....GO!!

Score!

Needless to say, Willie was very proud and protective (what 2 yr old isn't!?) of his eggs.  When we got home he opened all the eggs, took out all the candy (ate more than he should have) and carried it around in his lunch box...All. Day.

He had to have his candy on the pillow next to him when he took a nap.  Brad and I removed it while he was sleeping, and put it away for a while.  The first thing he said when he woke up was, "where candy go?!", and subsequently started crying.  He was obsessed!  So, thank you Easter Bunny, because the rest of our Saturday was a complete disaster...ruled by the lunchbox full of candy and a hysterical-sugar-high 2 year old.  Maybe next year the town should consider filling the eggs with baby carrots. ;)

Somethin's Fishy...

Just a quicky on the fishies....

The Baby Goldfish Crackers (7.2 oz) are always the same price as the regular Cheddar Goldfish Crackers (6.6 oz). 

More bang for the buck! 

Thirsty as a racehorse??

My son, Willie, is now 15 months old.  We are still breastfeeding...not all the time...usually 3 or 4 times a day.  Morning, nap time, and before bed.  And, sometimes if he's just grumpy.  And, sometimes if he grabs the boppy pillow and starts crying, saying "bob bob bob".  He's missing an "o", but you get what he means!

Now, I know this may be uncharted territory for many of you...it is for me too!  Haha.  But, it's awesome.  And, it's healthy.

According to one of my fave "peaceful parenting" websites,  http://www.drmomma.org, "The World Health Organization, UNICEF, American Academy of Family Physicians, and essentially every pediatric health organization in the world recommends a minimum 24 months of human milk for human babies (with at least the first six months being exclusive breastmilk)." 


So, there's that.  I'm not gonna preach about it (ha, I kind of just did), to each their own.

Anyway, Willie has been very generous lately...especially with our dogs.  He gives them nearly all of his supper...every. single. night.  How nice!  He has also been holding his sippy cup up to their doggy mouths.  Aww, what a nice boy!  So, I guess I shouldn't have been surprised the other day when he was nursing with one of his toys in his hand...

and then offered my milk to his little horse.  Haha!  I've never had a plastic horse pretend to suck on my nipple before.  It was weird.  And, kinda cute.
