Count another one for my team

Atticus is feeling better but we decided to have Paul stay home with him and Sebastian for church today and them I stayed home with him while Paul took Alexandra and Sebastian to celebrate our nephews birthday. It was pretty cool just to hang out with Atticus. He is not like the other two kids at all. He plays really well by himself and really just checks in with me every once in a while. I decided to have brussel sprouts for dinner. I had fed Atticus before I ate so he had dinner. I sat and ate my brussel sprouts and Atticus started to seem interested in my food. He pointed and grunted and so I asked if he wanted one. He shook his head yes. He ate one and pointed for another. All I could think was "yes". I've got one on my side. He ended up eating about 5 or 6. You gotta love a 16 month old who loves his veggies!

This must be his raisin phase

I have a confession to make for my son, Sebastian, only because he can't put it into words himself. He's addicted to Raisins. He has to have raisins for every meal and he is now asking for them at snack time. Now you might be saying, there are worse things he could be asking for, and you are right. I have told myself that as well. He is eating a few other things but last night the sitter I go said that he would only eat raisins. It's pretty interesting being the mother of a toddler!

Dinner table antics

We all sat down to dinner tonight. Crescent rolls with hot dogs rolled in, broccoli, and tater tots. Sebastian got raisins just tide him over until all the food was ready. We gave Sebastian and Alexandra ketchup. Sebastian decided to dip his raisins in the ketchup. Paul and I waited to see what his response to it would be. I would try to describe his facial expression but I couldn't do it justice. Paul and I cracked up. Then a loud "YUK" came out of his mouth. It was too funny. Alexandra was focused on getting all her dinner finished so she could have candy. She choose a Candy cane from Christmas. She then proceeded to ask when Christmas would be again. It's so hard to explain in time to a 3 year old. OH, Sebastian got new light up Spider man boots today. They were 50% off. He had a ton of fun stomping around in his new boots. Now he'll stop yelling at me when we are outside that his feet are cold and wet!

It has to be a hollow leg.

That's the only explanation for why Atticus is eating all the time. He doesn't really want to sleep during the day and that means he's eating every 3 hours and taking a lot of food either in the bottle or via spoon. He's also wanting to stay up a long time during the day. Today I had him up for almost 2 1/2 hours and he was just starting to get cranky. None of the other two have been like that. He just rolls around on the floor and grabs things, chews on them and grabs something else. He's also into making a lot of noise. At first I thought he was cranky but that's just him talking away. It really is true that each and every baby is different!
