A normal conversation with my 2 year old

Abby: Mommy can I have this special treat (holds up a capri sun)

Me: You may have it with your lunch

Me: What would you like? A pb&j?

Abby: No thank you, a salad. With avocado and _____

I have no idea what she said so I open up the fridge and she points to the pomegranate seeds

Me: Would you like pomegranate seeds?

Abby: Yes please

Me: How about feta cheese?

Abby: I didn't want it last night but I do today

Me: What kind of dressing?

Abby: That one! (as she points to the dressing she always asks for, catalina)

I am pretty sure two year olds don't usually ask for gourmet salads for lunch lol.

I love being a mommy!

New Year, New ME!

For the month of January I will be attempting, no, COMPLETING a month of eating vegetarian. I am not just giving up meat, but sugar, pasta and pretty much everything else that I love. Beware, I will be quite bitchy for the second and third week. The first week won't be too bad and I hope by the fourth week my body will be use to most of this, but those two middle weeks will be HARD.

I expect cooking meat for my daughter will make it a little harder but thankfully she loves salad (she prefers it over almost everything). So here we go, starting off January 1st, 2011 with a bowl of fruit and oatmeal :). Wish me luck and a loss of 50 pounds
