Today we spent a good two and a half hours swimming. The Kid is becoming quite the little sea kitten (PETA talk for fish). Every day that I take him, he becomes more and more brave. Today, he swam by himself (with water wings, of course) and even jumped in several times! The Bebe loved the water, and was laughing and splashing. He is a natural swimmer, kicking and moving his legs to actually keep afloat and move. Perhaps he has memories of the womb, still.
Bologna sandwiches were the pool side lunch, which of course I did not partake in, and the sweet boy who was making the sandwiches said "oh, vegetarian?" and I said "yes" and left it at that, because I didn't feel like debating veganism with a ten year old.
I won't be cooking tonight, but thought it would be interesting to note that the Bebe has started solid foods. He has been a huge fan of bananas. pears, and mangoes. He hates the cereal. It will only be a matter of time before I will be blending up my meals and giving them to him.
It will be nice when Wednesday market day is here again. I know that the Kid will have a blast like he did last week, and I can restock my depleted fridge. Eating through leftovers is such a chore, but it's just too expensive to throw out whatever is not eaten the night before. Except that African dish... that hit the garbage can the same night.
Here is hoping that I can throw a decent meal together with what is in the pantry. Maybe I will become a thrifty vegan, making meals for under $5... that would be nice.
