I love Trader Joe's

This morning we all got out of the house to run a few errands. I feel so much more "normal" when we can get out and be productive in the mornings. Both boys were on their best behavior for most of our outing, James got a little dicey towards the end.

Our favorite stop by far was a trip to Trader Joe's. I love this place! They have all their Christmas goodies out on display and it took all the self control I have to only get one splurge item. It was a box of cordial cherries, and they are fantastic. I already ate 2. The main reason for the trip was to buy the fruit and cream yogurt...it's the only yogurt James will eat. It comes in 4 flavors and he eats one everyday for breakfast. This morning we didn't have any yogurt for breakfast, and James was a sad little pumpkin without his yogurt. We bought 2 six packs, so that should hold us over for exactly 12 days. We also bought some Dynamo juice and James has added that to his food repatoir.

I remember back to when James was just starting baby-food and I had such a long list of things he would eat. Here is our current list:

*hot dogs
*Trader Joe's Burried Treasure cheese puffs
*whole wheat waffle with blueberries
*rice
*Trader Joe's fruit and cream yogurt
*applesauce
*bananas
*juice with mango or orange in it
*graham crackers

Not such a long list for a boy with so many teeth. Oh well, we just keep trying.

James also flirted with a little 2 1/2 year old girl at Trader Joe's. It was really cute and they both danced in the aisle together. James really didn't want to leave her, but we had to keep moving before Luke woke up. Hooray for TJ's!

I love Trader Joe's too!!! I love the food samples and coffee. I'm glad you got out of the house and James must have been cute dancing with the little girl.

Chocolate covered cherries was my grandfather's favorite candy. We always gave him a box for Christmas

Stace, if you read this, I'm curious who will eat more different things, James or Maddie? I think it is a tie and they might be soulmates some day.
