Grandma and Grandpa Courtney came over for a nice dinner. There were lots of foods for Jace to try: ground up pot roast, baked potato, sweet corn. He did not care for much but he found one thing he liked: Grandma Courtney's homemade bread. He gobbled large bites of the soft, sweet bread. I didn't think to put any margarine on it at lunch. When I added the margarine at supper he didn't like it as well. He would take large bites, suck on them for a few seconds then spit out flat, soggy bits of bread. I am really trying to find ways to add fat calories to his diet and he is not pleased with my efforts. At his one year Dr. appointment she told us he was only in the 15% for weight. She gave us a preprinted diet guide that had hints for adding fats and proteins to his diet. Basically it said to add milk, yogurt, butter and cheese to everything and offer peanut butter as a snack! He is allergic to all the recommendations.
This afternoon we got out of the house for a while. Jace explored rainbow park. He spent most of the time watching some rowdy kids play on the big slide. There was an amazing little 18 month old girl, not much bigger than Jace, who kept going down the slide by herself. She was totally fearless. She started out sliding on her belly, feet first but soon started sliding on her bottom, facing forward. She would tuck into a little ball and just shoot down the huge slide at top speed. She took a minute from her sliding to bring a rock over to Jace where he was sitting in the grass watching her. It was so sweet. Once again, I wish I had the photo but I know better than to take photos of other people's kids (let alone post them on the Internet).Jace crashed early tonight he was so exhausted. I watched a cute movie with Mom & Dad, Greenfingers, about some prisoners in England who start gardening. I'm inspired to plant more flowers.
Happy Birthday Jessica!
We look forward to celebrating with you sometime later this week.
