We were driving in the car recently.  From the back:  Squabble.  Squabble.  Squabble.  Squabble. Dr. Peds:  OK, that’s enough. Me:  It’s time to sit quietly.  No talking. Silence for 45 seconds. One Distraught Kidlet from the back of the van (sadly, actually I don’t even remember which kidlet):  I KNOW…

Perhaps someone could tell my why this child will not touch a vegetable (in fact, he doesn’t even want to SEE a vegetable on his high chair tray), but he has no problem eating rocks and sticks and dirt.

He’s the busiest little person I know.  He literally doesn’t stop for a second the entire time he’s awake!  There is so much to explore!  So much to do!  I get the biggest kick out of watching him.  He’s lost a little of his tumble bumble motions since I got…
