Mother's Day Out

The Baby has recently started going to a local Mother's Day Out program in the area. It's only on Mondays and Wednesdays and for a few hours and I think it's nice for the Baby to socialize with other babies.

The first day I dropped her off, the Baby didn't mind. She just sat down and immediately started playing with toys and looking at the other kids. There are two other girls, one is named something and the other Evie.

So the first day, I got the Wifey to pack a lunch for her. Since the Baby pretty much eats anything you give her, she had quite a hefty lunch. She had a piece of bread, luncheon meat, fruit, cookies, crackers, and cheese. Seems a lot for a 9month old but she ate it all. When the teachers looked at her lunch, they seemed to be surprised that there wasn't any baby food. But the next two times I dropped her off, she starts crying immediately. The teachers assure me she stops crying as soon as I leave but I can still hear her as I leave the building.

The biggest, if only problem, with the Baby's diet is that she loves bananas. She easily eats two bananas for breakfast. I have even caught her chewing on the banana peel afterwards. But bananas are notorious for narrowing the pipes so the Baby is in a perpetual state of constipation. And she'll cry every time she has to drop the deuce. Sad, red, and concentrating face followed by cries and tears it's a tell tale sign she is using the bathroom. It's funny to watch but we feel really bad for her.

Anyways, here are some MDO pictures...
