Two Random Thoughts

Spinach: Popeye must have had a stomach (and taste buds) of steel. Or no sense of smell. Spinach itself is great, but canned spinach? YUCK!! While it has more vitamins and nutrients than other canned vegetables, it's place in our food storage will no longer be rotated into our regular meals. It will stay just that--food storage--until it is either thrown out or desperately needed.

Sleep: So now that Ked is pretty well trained to sleep through the night (more or less), how do I get myself trained again to sleep through the night?

I know what you mean. I have a (small ) case of spinach downstairs and 2-3 cans upstairs but I have to force myself to open it and use it. I just have a hard time eating it anymore.

I have always hated spinach. I will only eat it in raw form...and then only because I'm pretending it is dark lettace. I won't even buy it. Yuck. I understand that pain.

I LOVE spinach, but not canned. As far as sleep goes...I don't have any good advice because I wasn't able to sleep through the night for months after Henry was sleeping well. Even now I still have really bad insomnia. I wish you better luck!

Agreed! Love spinach just not in a can! Little Kedrik is SUCH a cute baby by the way!!!

how did you train him? I can't seem to train Mitchell very well. Sometimes he'll sleep good...most of the time not so much. Any recommendations?

Okay, in MY day, Grammie served us spinach (and spaghetti) out of the can! I loved spinach from the can with added juice of a slice of lemon. We had a lemon tree.

I guess it's all what you are raised with and get used to. But that rule is flawed in that Dad made some things that I did not like growing up because his were made differently and I loved them the new way. Go figure. Love, MOM
