Chicken Lasagna

Milk can’t fly

Well, another week has gone by. This is what I’ve learned or what I think I learned: “Milk  can’t fly.” My son has been experimenting with his milk for some time now. Sadly, each experiment ends the same way–with the cup-and-milk going up and cup-and-milk going down. It’s easy to think: he is just making a mess; and, if he is …

Underdogs

I was watching Louisville vs Wichita State, wanting the Shockers to beat Louisville–not because I dislike Louisville or like Witchita State. I just love the underdog story. I mean… who doesn’t love a good David-against-Goliath story?

Knowing what he wants

My son is starting to get more vocal when it comes to what he wants to eat. The problem, of course, is to get him to eat more then just what he likes. I believe he would eat chicken nuggets for every meal in a day (plus snacks) if we would allow it. Therein lies the problem. How do we …
