Cracker Please

Mommy's princess is feeling better as evidenced by my 6 am wake up call. She was all smiles and love and asking for crackers (which yesterday she wouldn't even look at). She started pointing at the pack and going "anh anh" which is Teminese for "I want that." I politely said "Say cracker" she just pointed. I said "say please" she just kept pointing. I never expected her to say anything, but I want her to get used to hearing that when she's asking for that, so eventually she knows how to properly ask for stuff.  Imagine my surprise when as I was preparing to get up to get a cracker, she said "cracker please" clear as day.

I almost jumped out my skin...Proud mommy over here!!!!

Guess Who...

...Discovered ranch dressing? She kept dipping her finger in the ranch dressing LOL

What's Cookin Doc?

I completely forgot to post last week's menu but in case anyone's looking for ideas I'll post it at the bottom. This week I'm trying my hand at a few new recipes. I'm also happy to report that I knew I would have to cook extra food this time around so we try to plan accordingly and bought extra groceries and we managed to still meet our budget. :-) This is one happy mama over here!!!

Confession: I'm only with Todd cuz he can cook.

He doesn't (and won't) do it often, but when he does, it's Heaven in my stomach. :-)
