Ronan and I got to playgroup a little later today than usual. Usually we are the first ones there. It was a late morning for us. Ronan played with the other little boy his age and they shared eachother’s fruit puffs. We left earlier because we didn’t have the car today (no gas) and had to get to Parents Place by 1200. We were the first ones there and Ronan loved talking to Ms. Joyce. We made pumkins today as an art project and Ronan had fun using his feet. We sang songs and then talked about food issues. I had a huge issue since Ronan really just eats formula. He’ll eat off my plate, but really doesnt eat any food i prepare for him. We really cant afford to buy him baby food if he isnt going to eat it. Now he has low iron, so its been a kind of a stressfull issue at home, for me at least. Listening to the other mothers talk though made me feel like I really didnt know what I was doing. The babies that are 5 months and older all all eating baby foods. The mothers could say which fruits and which vegetables they were getting and how much. Plus they could say how much formula or breast milk they were getting. I really dont know the answers to any of that and now my baby has low iron. So it was kind of hard to share today for me.
Ronan fell asleep on my shoulder in class. He really doesnt do this, and I was so touched when he did. I kept watching him while he slept in class. He looked so happy, so content, and looked like he felt protected by me. That made me feel a little better.
