We went to Capron Park today for a "Party for the Planet" w/ the moms group. It was fun, a bit crowded, but Aiden had a good time and Conor enjoys people watching like his momma so he was cool with it. :) Afterwards we went to BJs to get a crap ton of stuff. I needed formula, so figured I may as well stock up while I'm there.
Conor's labs all came back normal, so I'm happy we don't have to worry about any of that...but we are still going to keep him gluten free, at least for the time being. It is actually working out well with both of the boys and I'm happy to say Conor has slept through the night the last three nights, something he hadn't done in quiet a while!! Hopefully I haven't jinxed myself.
Last night I made homemade GF Chicken Nuggets - They came out okay though I think I need to figure out some seasonings to add to it to spice them up a bit, a little bland. :) Aiden ate them though, and even ate his mashed potatoes. He's been great about eating lately since I do the block trick with him now. I put blocks (building blocks) on his left hand side stacked in a pyramid, for each bite he takes, he gets to move a block to the right hand side and do whatever he wants with it (he makes a train, pyramid, or just moves them) and this way he knows VISUALLY how many more bites he needs to take - 1 bite = 1 block. I have gotten him to try so and eat so many new foods this way, its working out wonderfully! Conor isn't an issue, he'll eat anything you give him, mostly things he shouldn't.
