Holiday!
I’m on vacation this weekend but I’m trying something my webmaster clued me into called “dated entry” or some such nonsense. In other words, I wrote this before I left but I’ve cleverly mastered it so it arrives to you today, while I’m sitting in a wi-fi free zone. Ha!
So I thought I would send you a prediction of what I’ve done this weekend and we’ll just check whether I was right when I’ve returned. This list is dedicated to my dear reader, Allison, who we all remember desperately wants her twins to have a bit of “lightly sweetened whipped cream” on their first birthday. I hope this gives a bit of inspiration to those of us who believe in moderation and “sometimes treats.”
Friday: Eva likely chewed on a Lufthansa cheese sandwich while Zoe vomited on the safety information sheet. By evening, Zoe will have thrown up in the hotel lobby and Eva will have grabbed a lettuce heart for a nibble. Both kids go down in their hotel cribs, wake every 2 hours and justify our corner room.
Saturday: Eva eats chopped fruit, yogurt and a croissant. Zoe vomits. Then she eats some fruit and yogurt, a bit of baby cereal, formula and a rice cake. Eva takes advantage of the personal time to find her way into a Nutella container. Both kids go for a swim in the indoor pool and spend the rest of their day searching for power outlets around the grounds.
Sunday: All 4 of us share a bowl of noodles and crawl back to bed. Eva probably eats a hotel plant somewhere along the way.
Monday: Fruit, whipped cream, Nutella, toast and yogurt. A bit of formula, some pretzels (salt brushed off!), and sausage. A last swim and then back to lunch, where Eva squeals her way into a piece of Black Forest Cake (because when in Rome…or the Black Forest to be precise), Zoe gets chocolate sprinkles on her ice cream and Mommy thinks seriously about a Heineken.
Ah. Vacation.

"WHAT I LIKED: This book is written in a funny, down to earth way that doesn't make you feel like an idiot. I really would have appreciated something like this when my kids were really little and I freaked out over everything they put in their mouths. It has a scenario/question and answer format, with clear answers on when not to panic and when to call 911."
