Our little mini muncher.....

So it turns out that, while we didn't know it, Eli has decided to go on a diet just like his mommy and daddy. Daddy and I are cutting out carbs and are eating lots of meat and veggies. Eli has added one more ingredient to that....human flesh. Yes, today at daycare, he had an "Incedent Report" written up about him. He bit one of the other children for trying to take a toy away from him. When they told me this, I felt like they had just told me he had just knocked over a liquor store or something. It's not like we sit around each night and instruct him on just the right place to bite for maximum effect but I still felt guilty. I mean, what am I going to do? Ground him? Put him in time out? Pull his teeth? The daycare people acted like I should have somehow prevented this. Where were they when my child decided to chow down to defend his stuff? They won't tell me which kid he bit and they will not tell the kid's parents who bit that kid. That's all I need is some angry parent and myself getting into a throwdown in the middle of snacktime.
I guess I just have to chalk it up to babies being babies and hope Eli doesn't do it again and that he doesn't become a recipient of some munching.
Parenting is hard!

The diet is on........

So Charles has entered this contest at work. The goal is who can loose the highest percentage of body weight in 3 months. The prize is money, the ultimate incentive. So we went to the store and bought way too many groceries to go on the South Beach Diet. A year before we got married, we both went on it and each lost 45 lbs. We started this past Tuesday. I am so sick of eggs already. It's been okay so far but the hardest part is when we are at home. At work, you have all sort of distractions to take your mind off of the fact that you would like to devour everything in sight. I think I had 3 sugar free popscicles. It did no good. I actually had to leave the house to get my mind off of it so I took Eli to the mall to play in the children's play area. Of course, at the mall is the cookie stand, ice cream stand, and all other kinds of fattening places. If God wanted me to be skinny, why did he make so much good crap for us to eat??? Lord, give me strength.
Weigh in is Monday night. I will keep you posted.
