Trick-or-Treating at Scansource

Pulling for Sydney - Day 4

So, I forgot to blog about the last day. Maybe it was my mom guilt. Our dinner was pigs in a blanket and taco dip in front of the Carolina game. And yes, she ate dinner. Though I didn't give her an amount. And she did get to trick-or-treat. Sorry to have left you hanging!

Pulling for Sydney - Day 3

Only one more night!

Pulling for Sydney - Day Two

Sydney did it again.  2 of 4.  Of course, it was a leftover mini hamburger and fries, but we're glad to have 2 dinners down!

Pulling for Sydney - Day 1

In our house for meals, you get really small portions of everything served. You have two choices, eat it all to get seconds of your favorite part or don't eat. For about 2 years Sydney has chosen the latter. Don't get me wrong, she likes pizza, mac and cheese and hot dogs like the best of them. But when it comes to regular dinners, she chose to not eat. And some mornings will throw up from being so hungry.

This week she had snack/dessert/trick-or-treating privileges removed until she eats all of her dinner for four nights in a row. I'd already planned meals for the week, so they certainly weren't tailored for her.

Tonight we had Spicy Vegetable Soup, which is not a Sydney favorite. Abby doesn't like it, either. Stephen said if she ate tonight she could also go with him to Game Stop. So the stakes were high.

Sydney is officially part of the "Clean Your Plate Club" tonight. I'm now pulling for nights 2, 3 and 4 because it has to be four in a row!

Brody's 2nd Birthday

Today is Brody's 2nd Birthday. Two years ago, I was being induced. I still cannot believe he is two!!

Brody had a blast at his Elmo party. Jent was his sweet two-year-old friend that came. We had lots of family here, too.
