Back on Track

Back in the day I used to print out a calendar and map out the months meals. I wanted to avoid getting fast food all the time or eating out. And let's face it every now and then it's nice to have a home cooked meal. I'm trying to get back to that. So I got my calendar in hand and went through my recipes, made a list and we went to the store to stock up for the remaining days this month. We're just about set except for some lunch meat, which we'll get this weekend. It's been really hard for me because I don't have any cravings! I know what I don't want for dinner but I never know what I do want. I figured this way by mapping it out I would just have to accept what we're having for dinner that night. We'll see how it works out.
In other news Beatrice is a true summer baby. She loves to spend her days in just her diaper. Or if she's outside in the little 'pool' Izak got her she's naked. It's quite a hassle to get clothes on her in the morning or even her pajamas at night! I often times have to bribe her. Like this morning. I had to bribe her with cookies. Luckily for me she thinks wheat thins are cookies so it's sort of a win win situation there. But the fit she'll throw as soon as you put her shirt on...
I know that I have to make Bea sleep in her bed. I tried to do it last night and she was crying and I was being strong. Izak on the other hand...was a big old softy! After almost 30 min. of her crying he got up to bring her some water and ended up bringing her back in bed with us. Luckily she slept on his side of the bed instead of pushing me off, like she normally does. We will practice tough love tonight. We probably won't get much sleep this weekend but hopefully by Monday Bea will be used to the idea. I know we need to get this going way before the new baby gets here so we better start now. Wish us luck!
