Calming Creme

The other “steak”
So after I was contemplating chicken fried steak, I still had this nagging feeling… “I remember two things on the school lunch menu that I never understood. Chicken friend steak and something else. Some other steak thing…” It bothered me all night, UNTIL, I remembered the other weird steak offering:…
Things I’ll never get…
Last night I was reminded of something that has been bothering me since at least second grade: Chicken fried steak. Is it chicken? Is it steak? No matter how many times people try to explain it to me, I just can’t get it. I don’t think I ever will. I…
Tattle Tales
Almost every evening, Teacher Noemi, Teacher Linda W., and especially Teacher Linda C., like to tell tales on Jakey. To give them credit, they tell all of these tales like little giggly school girls. He SO has them wrapped around his little finger… First it was bagels. “Jakey tried to…

We have a winner!
Yesterday we finally found something Jacob wouldn’t eat… the white part of a hardboiled egg. It received furrowed eyebrows and then popped right back out. I tried several more times and was met with a tongue roadblock. However, not more than three hours later I saw him with a mustard…
Budget Rent A Baby
My mom likes to say that watching Jakey is like renting a car: You need a diagram to mark every nick, scrape, and ding when you take him off the lot so you’re not held responsible when you return him. Ha HA Mom, you’re so clever 🙂 Fortunately, I’ve found…
