Mac and Cheese
Let me preface this by saying that I wish that I had had a picture of this. It did cross my mind but by then I was on the floor already and Celia was occupying Ruthie so I didn’t get it.
So today for lunch I made mac n cheese. I was looking forward to it as a hot meal on a cool day. I got a phone call while I preparing it but it wasn’t a big deal as Ruthie had been doing fairly well. I put two bowls on the table along with Ruthie’s meal and silverware. All I needed was a drink for Celia which I was preparing. I turned around to find Ruthie amidst a bowl of mac n cheese all over the floor. Celia came immediately to whisk Ruthie off and try to calm her hurt feelings. I cleaned the floor and got Ruthie in her chair along with Celia at her spot at the table.
Seeing that breakfast went so well today, I didn’t think lunch would be any problem. Apparently I was wrong.  She ate a few bites of Strawberry applesauce, a few bites of her turkey stew, a few bites of cheese (which she then threw most of it on the floor) and half a yogurt. I finally gave up and cleaned her up. I let her get up, gave her froggie, and I proceeded to clean up the kitchen. She played a bit on the floor and then layed down while sucking on froggie. She did it twice so I scooped her up and took her to bed. She immediately went to sleep. While it is nice to have a little bit of time, I must say that I’m worried that she may be still fighting the bug she had yesterday.
So at 3:30 today, I am watching my ex-bosses little girl as well. She’s 4 and loves Ruthie. I hope Ruthie is up for playing. She’ll be here until around 6:30 or so and will probably eat dinner with us as well.
Just another day in our household which has quickly become a very busy one at that.
