Not a Fan a Cake: It's Confirmed

Riding "Big Baa" he did NOT want to get down

My child is odd.

This weekend we were out an about as we went to Woodbury's Big Trucks (with only a couple melt downs), the Afton Apple Orchard (PACKED!!), Afton's art fair, and hung out at home.

When we do these little side day trips, I bring snacks with for J, because I've realized he's a lot like me. If he's hungry, he gets crabby. and quick... So to help avoid meltdowns, and to keep the Holy Trinity items at bay as long as possible. If you are unaware as to the HT in our house it is: B (J's workd for his blanket), Baa (his stuffed sheep) and Nuk (if you dont know this, I can't help you). Everywhere we go, they go. Church, store, Target, Grandma's, a walk, they go. They can stop tears in no time. But, as it gets closer to Nuk's depature date (which is not set, but eventually), we try to keep the 3 items at a bare minimum.

Anyways, as a result, I keep food around as much as possible. Cuz if does get angry/cranky, then he is DEFINETLY acting like his daddy, not his momma! :)

A go to item tends to be the food pouches (of either applesauce, or a fruit/veggie combo) or our version of trail mix. Our version just tends to be whatever we have in the house. Goldfish, cheerio's, life cereal, pb or cheese crackers, but there are 2 items that are ALWAYS in there.

Nope, not chocolate.
Not nuts.

Raisins and yogurt covered raisins.

Seriously, this kid LOVES raisins. He asks for them, and will pick out all the raisins before he eats anything else out of the trail mix. Who does that?? Usually that's what is left from trail mix, along wtih the peanuts. Cashews - gone. Peanuts - hangin out with the raisins.

I was reading a babycenter blog about handing out candy for Halloween, and people trying to think of other things. A few comments were about how useless it was to do boxes of raisins, because they just get tossed, and no one likes them.

Well, send them our way. Apparently, J did not get that memo, and prefers raisins to chocolate. (Just add some dark chocolate too, for me!)
