Kissing Boy

Alec has learned the word "kissing". After coming home from an early morning bike ride (thanks to Margaret, Matt's sister who babysat Elise and Alec), Alec greets me with long, long kisses on the face, the cheeks and the lips. I start laughing because, well, it's embarrassing a bit but I am tickled that he knows the word and is using it functionally. (I mean truly functionally!)

Right now, Alec is downstairs eating a gluten-free waffle. That is my next test: the Gluten-Free/Casein-Free diet. Actually, he is off of the dairy products already, but the wheat products are harder to avoid. I am so not a cook and I get stuck in food ruts so easily. Now I will need to be extremely creative about feeding Alec. It is so much work to follow the GF/CF diet, I truly hope we see RESULTS. Right now, I need a recipe for a gluten-free pop tart, which is all the boy wants anyway.
