I can’t seem to get my mind focused enough to put together one cohesive blog post. I’ve started four and have finished none of them. As a result I’m just going to combine them into one sort of mish-mash post.

My Tiny Guy
The kids and I ventured across the street yesterday to visit our neighbor. Their little boy is 18 months old. As we stood their chatting we both could not help but notice that our sons were the EXACT same size (as a matter of fact her son had at least 8 lbs on Max). This means my 31 month old son is the same size as an 18 month old. In a panic I called the doctor who assured me that since January Max has grown 2 inches and based on his growth trend is just fine. And yet….he’s short. Because my kids have never attended school I don’t normally see them in context with other children and although I always knew Max wasn’t particularly big for his size his “petite stature” didn’t fully hit me until yesterday.

Bad Food
I started putting together a list of foods that I find gross and will never require my kids to eat. Any of these on your list?

1.) Green Peas
2.) Lima Beans
3.) Cauliflower
4.) Kidney (or other animal organ)
5.) pureed meat – so glad I’m past baby food

The Body Wonder
I had a physical last week because, well, I’m 38 and it seemed like the thing to do. Well low and behold my thyroid isn’t working. As a result I’ve started some new fangled medication that is supposed to give me more energy and allow me to lose weight (versus exercising in some sort of self-torturous adventure). Glad I got that physical – like seriously.

That’s it – that is what has been on my mind. See how I could never really tie all those things together? I don’t know – I’m blaming my newly malfunctioning thyroid.
