What I am Here For:
To make my son's life the best it can be
Help Needed:
I am looking for help my son's picking eating. For the most part he will only eat Bread, biscuits, chips, cheese pizza, tortillas, crackers, cereal, apples, bananas, and chicken nuggets but only from McDonalds. I've even tried putting the ones from the store in a McDonald's box but he knows the difference by sight and smell. This is a long way from where we use to be but getting him to try new foods well, forget it.
Activities:
Walking, swimming, the occassion but never often enough massage.
Books / Magazines:
Harry Potter. It surprised me that I would like it. It was hard for me to put down.
Quotes:
Tomorrows another day and I'm thirsty anyway so bring on the rain.
Music:
Just about anything. Depends on my mood.
TV Shows:
Desperate Housewives, Brothers & Sisters, Extreme Makeover, Secret Millionare. All of which get DVR'd and I watch once everyone else is in bed.
Movies:
Anything I can see at a drive in. The most recent movie I've seen was Hangover. That was pretty funny.
Inspirational Spots:
Believe it or not the shower or my car. The only two places where I usually have quiet time to myself and can hear myself think.
