Stolen Phone

Two kids grabbed my phone off a table where I put it down to organize my bag for a second. They ran into the subway with it, never to be seen (by me) again. When I came home to tell Avery, he first asked, "Do you think they took it so that they could give it to their mommy?" Then, he followed with, "You can just get a new phone, mommy."

I realize we've been teaching him that these things happen. Like, popcorn falls on the ground and you can't eat that popcorn anymore. And it's ok, you can replace it. It's a material thing. We'll make new popcorn! It's alright! Don't cry!

So of course this translates into just get a new phone. ... (not going to dwell on all else that is scary about 1) two young kids being bold enough to do that in broad daylight in a busy area at rush hour and 2) whatever is available on that phone that I cannot wipe out---Hello Mobile Me for next time!)

He's very excited, although he seems to have it switched around a bit.

A New Food Every Three Days...

If you were to try a new food every three days for about a year, don't you think you'd get to the point where you had to be really creative to find something new? With combinations of ingredients, knowing that you have tried one dish, you would think that you'd exhaust the possibilities. Well, we've been new foods like this for some time now, and every time I go to the grocery or Farmer's Market, I come back with something new for Avery. Ritz crackers were introduced today! Chive cream cheese was on the menu a few days ago. This evening, we combined the two for Ritz cracker and chive cream cheese fiesta. Avery hogged down seven crackers piled high with cream cheese, had a huge piece of extra sharp cheddar, and some berry applesauce. This was all washed down with a huge bottle of organic whole milk, which friend Jeanna says, "tastes like fresh cut grass and ice cream." I am going to try to make a list of Avery's favorite foods : Veggies -sw...
