Special Cookies for Daddy

My boys aren't real big meat eaters. It's not that they won't eat it, but they just don't eat a lot of it. I jokingly call them my little vegetarians in the making since I was a vegetarian for ten years. However, there is one type of "meat" that they just love: turkey bologna. They enjoy everything about it: the taste, the feel, the smell. In fact I have to limit how often I'll buy turkey bologna because they'll go through a whole package in a couple of days. It's a special treat in our house, probably on the same level as good wine, cake and marzipan. The Big Giraffe is exactly the opposite. He has an aversion to the scent, texture, and taste of bologna.

A couple of days ago the boys made Christmas cookies. Yes, I know it wasn't quite the holiday season yet, except according to the malls, but I don't really enjoy baking so I knew that if I didn't seize the moment the Christmas cookies might be made in March. The boys had a good time using the cookie cutters and the different Christmas sprinkles. Not surprisingly, they had a better time eating them. Because we didn't make a lot of them, my older son (OS) was very surprised to realize that he had eaten all his cookies. He meant to save one or two for Daddy, but the cookies were just so good...

My younger son (YS) had no problem saving cookies for Daddy. In fact he was really excited to put three cookies in a very secure location...the empty turkey bologna container from that morning. Fortunately the Big Giraffe was spared an uncomfortable experience, since both boys were asleep before he got home.

A. Elliot's Lesson Learned: Those who claim that kids don't like to share are full of bologna.

For those of us who didn't get an instruction manual with our babies and for whom parenting hasn't always gone as planned. On a more serious note this blog is about supporting a woman's ability to make her own choices about parenting including the choice, for whatever reason, to bottle feed her babies formula.
