More bubble info from Lifehacker. I recalled reading these a while back and with G’s first intro to bubbles last week have been meaning to find them again.

I’m a new poster on your blog – but my Son is in Love with bubbles – we also went to the Gymboree classes and they brought those out and it was over from there.
He spots bubbles from miles away.
I guess its the small things in life that truly make our kiddos happy?

OMG that is the cutest thing ever! Why didn’t I think of that? I am totally running out and buying bubbles tomorrow. You rock!

(And for what it’s worth, Cigna doesn’t cover Hunter’s Prevacid at all. I guess they think he should take something OTC and I haven’t called to argue with them about it yet.)

I cannot even tell you how many bottles of bubbles I’ve gone through with 3 kids. I could buy stock in the bubble company and be rich! There really isn’t any else more special to see their expression of curiosity and angst to get the bubbles. I love how he tried to eat the bubble too! Our oldest is 5 and he is still amused by bubbles. A cheap thrill!

Sweet video — and congrats on the renewed appetite! Those brocolli bites are a success with Finn, too, and they’re actually not bad tasting. He still accepts purees I make, but is suddenly getting picky about his finger foods, and frequently drops them on the floor. I’m not sure if his preferences are changing or if he’s just trying to excercise control over mealtime. My guess is the latter — but regardless, I need more finger food ideas! I think Preager’s offers spinach as a main ingredient, too, and sweet potato pancakes (can’t remember the brand name we tried) have also been a hit.

Glad to hear he’s eating! That’s great news.

Funny, but bubbles always stress me out. They are so messy. But perhaps I should try to get my hands on some of these Gymboree bubbles. Who knew? (We never did Gymboree with our kiddo–and now I think he’s been deprived!)

Yay! I’m so happy to hear that he’s eating more.

I had to laugh about trying the spinach bites, I think I do the same thing as you! I get so excited when Haiden has tried and liked ONE new thing that I go a little crazy and start introducing a bunch of new healthy stuff that I think he should be eating. “Oh, you like that veggie burger? Here, have some mixed up ground turkey, carrots and zucchini.” Then I wonder why he won’t eat anything but vanilla yogurt and string cheese for a few days!

YAY for eating, Jasper!! I was cracking up at the image of you frantically trying to cool off Jasper’s meal. I do the same thing.

That is too precious… Gymboree does make the best bubbles by far.

What wonderful news… I hope the trend continues!!! I also made a batch of nuggets similar to the recipe Jill posted… using chicken thighs (much higher calories than breast meat), steamed broccoli, and cheese. James usually gobbles them right up. I’ll even steal a bite here and there… they’re actually quite yummy! Good luck… hope the eating continues to improve! (I’m with you… I think I’d hold off on giving the Prevacid for a little while to see what happens.)
