Doesn't like cereal?

What normal child does not like cereal? Well, I don't know if Glenn is "normal" or not, but he doesn't like cereal! He loves to say cereal and sign it. But we've been going through a different type of cereal (or 2) each week trying to find one he likes. He used to love Cheerios, but he tried Mommy's cereal once and that ruined it for him (I think it was Basic4 and he ate everything but the flakes). Now, every morning, we'll try putting a little cereal in a cup for him to have with his milk when he first gets up. And then it either ends up being dumped on the table so he can sort through it and pick out what he wants, or we hear it being dumped into the sink. The funny thing is he will dump the cereal into the left side of the sink and then put the cup in the right side. I never taught him that, but he always puts the food in the left side. Then on Monday this week, he was rummaging through the pantry (I need to get a lock for that door) looking for a snack. I must have been doing my hair because I didn't hear what he did. But I went to help him look for a snack a little latter and found the Life cereal box on the floor of the pantry completely empty. I asked Glenn where the bag of cereal was, and he brought me to the sink. He had dumped the entire bag of cereal into the left side of the sink and the empty bag was in the right side of the sink. I couldn't believe he had wasted a whole box of cereal. All Bob could say (between chuckles) is, "I guess he didn't like that cereal."

Boots

Glenn loves Boots the monkey on Dora the Explorer (he has red boots that he sings about a lot). And he also loves it whenever he sees boots on tv. So, I decided he needed a pair of his own. So, at Target yesterday I got these for $3.75!!!

He loves his boots, but they are pretty hot, so they don't stay on his feet long unless we're out. We met Daddy at the airport yesterday in the boots. And he put them on to go to the mailbox this morning. He can almost pull them on by himself because they have handles.

Bob just got back from a 5 day trip to PA. That was a long time for him to be away, and it was made worse by Glenn not wanting to talk to him on the phone. We're happy to have him home.

Not much new going on. I just wanted to post that we're doing great. Glenn and I have been getting involved in more activities with the mom's group in the community. So, he's really getting to know some of the kids well (and I'm getting to know some of the moms well, too). Bob's doing some traveling this month, just to PA. And we're going up to CT the end of the month to celebrate Glenn's b-day. It will be our first time back since we moved (well, except for Bob, who had to go back for a week for work). Then we won't be going back up until after the baby is born.

I've been feeling well. My red blood cell count has been doing really well. I haven't needed a Procrit shot for a month. But my uric acid has crept up (that can cause kidney stones and gout). So, I'm going to see a nutritionist to work out what I need to do as far as diet. It's been difficult trying to eat enough protein for the baby, but keep it down so my uric acid stays down. Obviously I'm not doing it well. But I may not be able to control it by diet alone anyway. I don't think I can be on any drugs to control it while pregnant. All my other numbers that indicate kidney function are the best they've been since they've been tracking them when Glenn was born. So, that's fantastic news. I'm also less nauseous- FINALLY! I thought it's never end.

Well, my little boy doesn't want to go to bed, so I'm off to tuck him back in. Everyone in CT- Enjoy all the snow you're getting in the next 24 hours. Be safe.
