Brain Pain

So today's adventure begins with being at home for the 5th day this week due to winter weather (Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Friday)! That is an adventure within itself. I don't really know how stay at home moms do it. GOD BLESS YOU ALL, I would be insane! Don't get me wrong, I love spending time with my son. I love the summer when we can go and do things together, I love him. But staying at home during the winter when the weather is yucky out is not my idea of fun. Day one wasn't so bad, we playing in the snow. Day two was much of the same. However, by Monday, I was tired of the snow. So here we are again home, and because it is raining, we can't even go out. So we clean the playroom, watch Dawn of the Dinosaurs for the 8,492nd time and dance to the song Walk the Dinosaur for the 9000th. What can I say, he likes to "move it, move it". And then I decided to make lunch while he watches a bit of Noggin. Bananas, yogurt, sweet potato (with brown sugar and butter, of course) and Beanie Weenies (using turkey dogs and Bushes). So this is a pretty good lunch and Maxwell eats ( or has eaten) all the foods in the past. We sit down, he eats everything but the Beanie Weenies...then the battle begins. I don't mind if he doesn't eat, my theory is they eat when they are hungry..but Maxwell goes into a long speech ( tears included) about how he can't eat the Beanie Weenies because it will make his brain hurt! He needs DORITOS! This is my final straw, I leave the table as I laugh and remind him to finish he Beanie Weenies. I win the battle, but he did get the Doritos afterwards. So I guess the lesson is be careful of the Beanie Weenies...they make your Brain Hurt...but the cure is Doritos...a fairly tasty medicine:)
