since sunday morning, when i dropped benji off at the airport, the week has flown by. what a relief! we are both feeling extremely homesick, and i say both because this home doesn't feel right without him in it. all the days run into each other, there's no need for make up, let alone showers (ha!) and you can forget about me cooking for myself each night. it's a good thing jack is going through this pickiness with foods right now because it doesn't matter if i cook a meal or if i just pull something from the pantry - the boy is only going to eat what he wants. and, certainly don't count on what worked yesterday to work for today! what a little pill. i have figured out that he likes to feed himself, but this rule doesn't apply to all foods. bananas are a cool, slimy texture - only eats them from a fork. same goes for lunch meats. but crackers, cheese, sandwiches, toast, corn, chicken: all with his chubby fingers. we got so use to seeing him eat an enormous amount of food that likely now what he is consuming is probably more "normal" for someone his age.
i was able to snap these pictures yesterday. for whatever reason, he felt like posing, but i'm pretty sure it was because he wanted up (as you can see).
