Lunch!

So, I am cheating a little bit...these pictures are from Saturday. Westin and I had perogies (yummy little dumplings with a potato-based filling that are both tasty and apparently, make excellent hair gel). Please note that my son is eating happily--this is a rare event these days--somewhat akin to seeing a patch of grass or a ray of sunlight in December in South Dakota, but I digress. As Westin enters toddlerhood, he is becoming more and more picky about what he eats. I have been warned of such things, but always dismissed that worry, as 'not my kid'..HA! The joke is on me AGAIN!! HA HA! Food items that used to bring him joy--cheese, for example, are now being spit out like we are feeding him something that we scraped off of the bottom of our shoes. Yes, that disgusting. Dalen is seriously worried about his vitamin and nutrient intake. So when I bring up something like: 'Hey, at least he still likes wagon wheels', I get a response like, 'Lisa, that doesn't count. There is NO nutritive value in wagon wheels.'. Eh, so Dalen is right. What do I know? I subsisted for YEARS off of Kraft macaroni and cheese. AND despite all of the lack of eating, the little monkey is fitting snugly in 12 month clothes and is often wearing 18 month clothes. Go figure! One new trick of Westin's is that he has learned that he can put something in his mouth and still crawl around on all fours! Ah well, that will be something for the dentist to worry about.
