I Got Your Number

Nolan has heard me mention several times to Brian that with Parker, I'd really like to attempt to make his baby food. I'm definitely not against store bought food, that's what I used with Nolan, however, he was and is so picky that I thought I'd give this a whirl to see if it can help make a difference. We had a horrible experience when it came to baby food and even table food for the longest time (still do occasionally) and I'd love to be able to bypass that this time.

Nolan quickly picked up on the "Baby Bullet" commercials and insisted to Brian that Mommy needed one of these so that he could help me make baby food for Parker. He urged Brian to make the purchase for Mother's Day...even went as far as to tell me that's what my present was because he was certain Daddy would get what he requested (no, I wasn't trying to get Nolan to tell me what my gift was - it's something he does all on his own because of his excitement) :) Well, Mother's Day came and went and I got some wonderful gifts, but a Baby Bullet was not one of them. Next, my birthday. Again, no Baby Bullet. Nolan was really getting discouraged and frustrated with Daddy at this point.

The other day while watching TV, Nolan came running full of excitement and said that he, "needs a pencil and paper...FAST," so I helped him find one and off he went. Of course, I followed and upon seeing what he had PAUSED on TV, he told me, "I have to get this number down, Mom!"



The rest of the number is on the back since it wouldn't fit on 1 side. The number that looks like "5" is really a backwards "2", followed by a very large "3" - not bad considering I've only worked on letters with him at this point, they've done numbers at school a little bit.

 Did I mention the best part? His eyes got really big and he exclaimed, "and it's ONLY $40 a month now, Mommy!"
