Eat your greens

So, Silas pretty much just eats 'people food' these days. (Which is really big people food...but it seems to always get referred to that way. And actually, he does eat dog food sometimes!) Anyhow, the one babyfood-type thing he still eats everyday is mixed greens (spinach, kale, bok choy, etc.) cooked & blended up & mixed into plain yogurt. He loves it and I love that he eats super green veggies everyday. I wish I could say the same thing for me.

In general we've been working on 'self-feeding' so I let him go crazy with his yogurt this morning. And, boy, did he ever! Check it out:

If you like what you see...view the video.

Other things we did this morning included playing in the dog's water bowl:

And sweeping the floor (with another video link coming soon for your viewing pleasure). Such a helpful little boy!NOTE: He did start the day with pants & shoes/socks. But, after repeatedly dipping them in the water bowl, we took them off.

You are brave. I strip my little ones down for every meal. I have had far too many berry stained outfits. I am impressed with the greens. You go!

i bet he enjoys meal time... nutrition and sensory stimulation! but maybe he should wear a bib, or go topless!! :) and bruce says that dog food is actually probably a fairly healthy snack, so no need to worry there!
