Real Men Eat Quiche

I've rarely used a stroller with John, having carried him in a sling for the first year and beyond. But now he's big and I'm pregnant and I see a good place for stroller use with my toddler. I finally bought a little umbrella stroller, so light and I can unfold it with one hand while holding John on my hip (two aspects we don't have in our great hand-me-down jogging stroller). It's really convenient for the minimal times I use a stroller. The only downside is that the most pleasant color in stock was fluorescent green!
John enjoys exploring his brand new (never been used) potty, still sitting in the living room. I call this artful photographic series, taken by Chris, "The Many Faces of John."

You know you have a toddler when you find a pickle stored in your desk organizer:


Speaking of food, John is eating a greater variety and quantity of foods every day--such as the pickle above. Perseverance and simply offering, offering, offering is paying off. Plus, I'm sure his getting older is helping too. There are still many things he won't eat, eggs being one of them. I was thrilled to discover last night that John very happily scarfed down big bites of a Mexican quiche (kind of spicy) that I purchased at Trader Joe's. This morning Chris surprised us by buying breakfast and bringing it home from the cafe around the corner. One of the things he bought was broccoli quiche and John loved that too! I'm going to try making quiches (and fritattas?) to get John to eat eggs.
