Mr. Mischief

I know what you're thinking... no way, he's way too innocent! Yes he is innocent, but also mischievous!!! When we leave the room for a second, we come back to find him on top of the computer table with the mouse on his head, or playing in the dog's bowl of water and eating her food! To top it all off, when we tell him the doggy food is yucky, he laughs and puts more in his mouth!!! All we can do is laugh because he is just so darn cute no matter what he does! I am struggling about what to do when he bites me, however! I give him a stern face and a scolding "NO" and show him in sign language that it hurts... but he just giggles and tries to bite me again! We even do a 1-min. time-out and that doesn't work either. He doesn't bite Chris much because Chris just ignores the negative behavior. I have a hard time ignoring it because I'm a big baby and can't ignore pain, plus when he starts biting others, they certainly won't ignore the biting! I don't know what to do and am open to suggestions!!!

No veggies? No problem!

Do you have anyone in your family who doesn't like veggies? Well, here is an easy, freezable, recipe that will save the day! I got my idea from wholesomebabyfood.com but changed it so much that now I'm claiming it as my own...

Veggie Nuggets:

2 16 oz bags of frozen veggies, cooked, drained, and chopped
2 cups wheat germ or whole wheat baby cereal
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
4 large eggs

Preheat oven to 375
Coat baking sheet with olive oil
Combine ingredients and mix well
Make each nugget the size of a small fist full
Bake for 25 minutes

Recipe makes about 45 nuggets.

I put these nuggets in baggies with three in each bag and freeze them. Then when Hyrum needs some veggies with his meal I give him a couple of these nuggets. Or when I don't have time to cook, this is an instant healthy meal for him! His favorite veggie nuggets use a bag of frozen broccoli and a bag of mixed veggies (corn, carrots, peas, green beans).

THIS IS NOT ONLY FOR BABIES!!! Everyone likes them:)
