Still going well, nothing new to report. Just one very happy kiddo. It's been a nice break of trials. It's been nice not having the stress, for Jake to just be happy, for me to catch up on a little sleep.
However, I did something crazy this week.
I made coconut milk. From a real coconut. I really wish I would have taken pictures.
If you ever need to get some frustrations out... hit a coconut with a meat mallet. IT FEELS GOOD.
Unfortunately, nobody liked the coconut milk but me. I was really hoping Jake would love it. Nope. Nada.
Meanwhile, we're going to enjoy our happy Jake a little while longer. It's spring break around here. Maybe next week we'll feel like starting again.

Day 1 of Probiotics
I decided to stop food trials for a few weeks. I feel like this week we've been knocked backwards. Jake's sleep is AWFUL. Up every hour. He's been cranky. His tummy just isn't right. I stopped the sorghum trial after two days. Was it the sorghum bothering him? Or was it the bean test I put him through? (mean mommy) Either way, I feel like we need to get back to happy baseline.
I gave Jake his first sprinkling of probiotics in his Coconut Applesauce today. I went with the Culturelle for Kids. I also picked up a box for me, as well. We'll do this together.
Meanwhile, we've had a fantastic day in Jake's world. I took a much needed break from the kitchen. Today included 80 degree weather, the skate park, and dining al fresco with good friends.
This is the good life. This is what life is about.
**I have a few new coconut recipes coming up soon. I've been busy in the kitchen this week!

Probiotics
I think our next trial is going to be probiotics... for the whole family. I've been doing some research and am slowly becoming convinced. My family eats yogurt, so we do get some probiotics. I drink Kefir. But not every day.
It's been a rough year for our little family with sickness. My kids NEVER get sick. However, my daughter has been sick three times already this year. Between the five of us, we've been hit with the flu (even with flu shots), strep throat, fevers, viruses and colds all in the past few months. We eat healthy. We wash our hands. Probiotics will just be another defense for us. For Jake, I'm hoping it will help level out some good bacteria in his gut for some healing.
Next is to decide which probiotic? I'm leaning towards Culturelle. It seems very allergy friendly. Off to research some more...
