Days getting shorter, list of things to do getting longer. 2009-11-20 - 4:26 p.m. So let us recap my current obligations, shall we? - mother to two young children I have not even made mention of social obligations that are starting to ramp up at this time of year. While I would never say that this list is in precise order of importance, you can see which one is at the end, and that�s probably fairly accurate. This may, in fact, be one of only a few times in years and years of blogging that I�ve gone a couple of weeks without updating. Here are the highlights of recent activity: Biscuit got the H1N1 vaccine. Because of his egg allergy he had to have it at the hospital under a doctor�s supervision, and they gave him 10% of his � dose, watched him for � and hour, then gave him the rest and watched him for an hour. He got a fever that night and was too grouchy for daycare the next day, but I feel a lot better now that he�s been vaccinated. I�m not feeling better about the fact that he�s still only 3rd percentile for weight for his age. WTF dietician and gastroenterologist? We�ve had him on your recommended feeding regimen for almost 3 months now, but he hasn�t gained any ground on the charts. We might as well have continued to feed him his beloved yogurt, for all the good your dairy-free diet is doing. Okay, we�ve continued to butter his toast and he does still get the odd goldfish cracker or small lump of cheese, but that can�t possibly account for his stubborn refusal to gain weight. He�s doing the soy milk/hypoallergenic formula (which I assume is made from pure gold, based on its cost)/multivitamin/oil mixture you told us to put him on, but the kid just doesn�t seem to want to eat much. WHAT ARE WE TO DO NOW?!?! WHAT??? Also in Biscuit news, he�s toddling all over the place now; sometimes he even runs. He still falls down a lot, but I have to admit, he�s no longer a baby and is firmly in the �toddler� category. Have I mentioned he still can�t clearly say a single word besides Mama? Oh, he can sometimes luck out and enunciate something as clear as a bell, but two minutes later he�s back to gog, gak and guk for dog, cat and duck. When do I get him evaluated? He�ll be a year and a half in under 2 weeks. Grommet sometimes drives us crazy in the evenings these days: �Eat your dinner. Lather, rinse, repeat the next night. I know, I should pick my battles and this shouldn�t be one of them, yet I seem to get trapped in this spiral all. The. Damn. Time. Help!

Your dinner.
Put it in your mouth, chew and swallow.
If you don�t eat your dinner you won�t be able to go to the library tonight.
That piece right there. Yes now swallow it.
Swallow what�s in your mouth or I�m taking your dinner because you clearly don�t want it.
Okay, you don�t want it, it�s gone.
No, you don�t want it. If you did you�d have eaten more than one forkful over the last 20 minutes.
Stop freaking out. You didn�t want it. You even said so.
If you can�t be pleasant, go to your room until you calm down.
I don�t care if you don�t want to go, that�s kind of the point.
To. Your. ROOM!!!�
That means no swiping my stuff - text, images, etc. - without asking.
