I keep forgetting to write ‘organic’ next to our foods so assume it’s organic unless I note otherwise for expediency’s sake. Just about the only things that we use that aren’t organic are duck fat, Celtic sea salt, and elderberry syrup.
We both slept well and feel refreshed this morning. Katie woke with a bellyache and neither of us were hungry, so breakfast started a little late. The dark circles under Katie’s eyes are now purple smudges, and her color is nice and peachy with a few skin-colored eczema spots left (no redness).
I’m going to keep this synopsis short since it’s a day late in getting finished. Suffice it to say we survived, and I’m really getting ready for true intro to start. Katie wanted sugary foods all day and I relented a bit knowing that the end will come very soon. Poor kiddo.
She went to sleep so well! As soon as I said lights out, she plopped down and was ready to go. So lovely. Hubby and I both put her to sleep, and she usually sleeps in our bed unless she feels up to sleeping in hers (usually when she’s feeling well).
