Michael, Meet Pho

December 18, 2008

I am very lucky when it comes to Michael and eating. He loves sushi, and edamame, and hummus. He regularly eats salmon and chicken in non nugget form. But still, he is three, so you never know when you put something new in front of him. But he loves soup. And it's been freezing here [...]

Coupled with the fact that he has recently decided this whole potty trained thing is not so much to his liking and has started peeing on the floor in the bathroom while standing next to the [...]
