That didn't take long. I am so in love with the cuteness of this, I can hardly stand it. I hope he doesn't learn how to shoot water out of his mouth through the gap. I have a vague recollection of some boys doing that at the girls at recess. Must have been 1st or 2nd grade. Funny. We had ice cream (well, Ted had sorbet in a GF cone) to celebrate this much-looked-forward-to milestone. We also saw our new homeopathic MD today and the kids really liked him. He's so friendly and nice, like a teddy bear, but well-groomed. He wants Sam allergy tested. Our only worries about Sam are his constant runny nose and emotional fragility. Both, apparently, could be food-related. He also wants us to double his fish oils, which are known to improve mood. So we'll do that tomorrow, along with the dentist. Fun day! Heh.
I took a lovely run this morning on Ole's Orchard (the hill behind our house). It's usually too muddy this time of year, but it was fine. It felt so good. I love that trail. And now, I'm off to do LEVEL 3 of the 30 Day Shred. Yikes. Sometimes I frighten myself.
Oy! Don't you think you might be overdoing it with the food stuff? I mean, every personality quirk cannot be explained away by a food allergy. Sorry if I sounded negative just now...must have been the whole wheat toast I had for breakfast. I worry that your kids will get unhealthy relationships with food later in life.
ReplyDeleteI love Anonymous posters. If you knew our family at all, you would know the wild behaviors we have tamed with diet (no ADHD drugs, for example). I am a firm believer that the SAD (Standard American Diet) is wreaking havoc with our kids emotions. But, thanks for stopping by anyway!
ReplyDeleteAnonymous posters like that are great. I don't know anything about food allergies affecting behavior but I know food in general can affect behavior. I have a cousin who is constantly on sugar highs and sugar lows and you can see it wreak havoc with her behavior. Or look what caffeine does to people.
ReplyDeleteI would really love to exercise outdoors more, I am just honestly more motivated to go to the gym. And I HAVE to check out this 30 day shred.
Good luck with all the docs!
