Making Up for Peas All Week

Okay, so it seems like I'm posting exclusively about food this week, but the boy has been in daycare all week, which means I see him for breakfast (during which time I prepare his lunch) and dinner.  But today we had a big day, because he had his first grilled cheese!  Now, I usually try not to have him do new things while Sarah is away, but she left for a week, and frankly, I ran out of ideas.  Plus, I've felt guilty because his diet has not been that varied day-to-day.  And so, grilled cheese.  We've been meaning to do it for a while, because if he'll eat grilled cheese, he has another option on the kids' menu at restaurants when we go out.

Anyway, he seemed to like it, at least the first quarter or so.  It was not the grilled cheese he will get at restaurants, since I made it with our funky whole wheat bread and cheddar cheese (he likes it otherwise), rather than Kraft singles and Wonder bread.  He had a little trouble with the crust, so he didn't want to take a second piece.  Which means I had 3/4 of a grilled cheese sandwich for dinner.  May have to make him a half sandwich next time.

And here's the commemorative photo.  He has cottage cheese all over because I left him with it and a spoon while I was making the sandwich.  He gave up and used his hands.  Sigh.
