anyone want some "bean ups?"

Brooke has become a terrible eater over the past couple of months. She won't try any new foods and even one's that she use to like such as beans she wants nothing to do with now. She has been constipated lately because all she eats is milk. So in a desperate attempt to get her to eat something with protein and fiber I came up with this disgusting combination....

We tried to give Brooke beans. Something she use to LOVE.

However they ended up like this.

She wouldn't touch them to her mouth and if we try to feed her then she really won't eat whatever we are trying to give her.

So I took one of her favorites, fruit rollups, and did this...

And made this...mmmmm.

She looked skeptical.

Checked it over twice.

And she ate it!! EwWW! I felt really bad that I was giving her such a gross combo but I figure she will appreciate it later when she poops. :). Why will she eat such a gross thing but she won't even eat something delicious like watermelon??

To all the mother's who are reading this post please tell me what I can do to help her eat and try new things. She is super stubborn and she will not eat anything we try to feed to her. She will sit and scream in her chair all day long it thats what it takes to not have to try a new food. It is extremely frustrating and I don't know what to do. She won't take tastes of things and she absolutely won't eat what we give her. What do I do?? 

Recital!

After doing the dance classes for the girls since march we finally did there recital. It turned out so great and the dancers all had a really great time. At the last minute I decided to let Brooke dance with the 2.5 year old class even though she is much younger she just cracks me up! Here are a few pics from the night. Thanks again to everyone who helped me and who did such a great job!!

Brooke pushing me away and giving me one of her famous "dirty looks."

All the moms getting down in there mom dance.

The singing in the rain part of the mom dance. All the moms did such a great job. I am actually the one who messed up! I think my brain was fried from everything going on that night but it turned out so cute anyways!!

A few pics of the other dance groups....


Here is the two year old class. Brooke is at the far right of the picture. Sooo Cute!!
She does this funny concentrated face when she dances.
If you look close Brooke is all the way on the right of the picture doing a very deep knee bend to the music! I love it!!
Before the performance.

Pool Days!!

It has been warm enough to go to the pool lately. Although Brooke's favorite thing to do once we get there is not swim. She like to sunbathe, eat, and mostly play on any stairs that are around.

She is a very picky eater lately and and I can never her her to eat watermelon. However on this special pool day she was willing to eat it, but she has refused ever since. She is so weird with food! 

Looking totally awesome in her sunglasses parading around the pool.
