We started off our Super Bowl Sunday with a little brunch action at the Cheesecake Factory this morning. I'm not sure if we just happen to get the same waitress and forget, or if they just happen to do this, but today was the second time that they immediately brought out a plate of sliced banana and bread for Ryker to munch on while we ordered, which is a huge help! He's fascinated by the concept of a fork right now, so much so that he tries to turn spoons into them as well. The fork and bread combo kept him pretty entertained this morning.
We ordered way too much food this morning, so I wound up eating less than a third of my plate and took had a bit of Vic's Monte Cristo, man those things are good! On one hand, this baby has me craving everything I normally avoid, but I also get full way faster than normal so I usually only get a few tastes, which is enough to hold me over until the next ridiculous craving pops up. Like the chocolate cake that I ordered to take home for during the game!
Tomorrow is the beginning of Ryker's new adventure and his new bathroom decor shows how excited I am! I spent all day thinking about what I was going to pack for his lunch tomorrow (I'm totally that crazy mom). I packed up his backpack with his extra outfits and diapers, and made sure to sneak in a blanket he's had since he was born and his monkey for nap time. I just wish I could be around all the time, but alas, he's headed off into the rough and tumble world of the two year old room tomorrow....and he's only 20 months, my little over achiever!
While we were in California visiting my family for the holidays we tried these fig bars from Costco and Ryker loved them! They make for a nice little treat that I don't feel bad about him having. He doesn't get a whole lot of things like this, besides his Cinnamon Raisin Ezekiel Toast, so I figure it will be a sweet little option for his lunch box.
I grilled up some chicken with just a little salt, pepper and basil to have prepped for his lunches and for Vic and I. He'll get half of that chicken breast tomorrow, he got the other half for dinner tonight. I love that he's so happy with simple protein options! I got worried there for a while that he'd grow to love only chicken nuggets if he got anymore of them (I may have been lazy about his lunches for a while, eek).
I loaded him up with some apple slices and some cheese cubes to round out his options for the day. We're going to send one of his little cups that we use here at home for them to give him water, since he has never had juices and isn't a big milk drinker. I did grab a box of Organic Chocolate Milk from Costco (they're Kirkland brand in little boxes). I actually forgot that I grabbed those until just now, I'll have to toss one in there!
His super sweet lunch box is from Pottery Barn and has a matching rolling back pack! I got a little time off in the morning so that I can drop him off with Vic after my morning workout. There is a significant chance that I will be a total disaster. I just hope he has fun and isn't too out of his element, but these are all probably things that Mom's worry about and then their kid has a great day and doesn't think twice about the change in their routine. I 90% hope that happens, and 10% hope he misses Vic and I the way I miss them when I have to spend all day at daycare...I mean, work.
Ok, time to pack my gym bag and pay attention to the Super Bowl. I hope you have a great week, wish us luck with our first day of our new adventure!
