When the boys and I drove back into the neighborhood from running errands all morning, my mind was on lunch prep. I remembered that one can of SpaghettiO's that I bought several months back for emergencies. Out came the Campbell's can from our pantry. Within minutes (before Parker had made it back downstairs from washing his hands) SpaghettiO's and some fresh apple slices were plopped on the table by one proud mama. (Proud for whipping up something together so quickly after such a hectic morning and given my current circumstances). The guilt started to creep in though when I thought about the amount of sodium intake my son was going to ingest from this one meal, but I quickly shook that from my head and decided that every child in a lifetime needed to experience SpaghettiO's at least once. Parker skipped over to the table, saw his prepared lunch and said, "Yum!" After taking a bite of the pasta and sauce, he put his spoon down, looked at me with a childlike expression of disgust and said, "I not like this, mama. I not eat this."
Can you blame him really?
Oh well, at least I didn't have to worry about him skyrocketing his sodium levels for the week. ha ha! (in case you're wondering, I am one of those weird moms that calculates how many servings of each food type my child has had that day...at least on general days)
...and a picture of cutie at 12 weeks. Wow. I can't believe how fast time is flying.
P.S. For those who care, my fridge and pantry are now stocked and better prepared for future "SpaghettiO's" type days...but this time without the SpaghettiO's.
