@ Happy Green Mama – I’ve been giving Waits molasses since he first started solids, so his palate is totally into it. He loves them. Once you get used to it they’re actually sweet, but I know the mineral-y flavor can be tough to get past. Just keep at it! Maybe try small doses in oatmeal or smoothies?

Love your post. I am curious, how you get Waits to eat molasses?
I’ve been concerned about our planet long before the catastrophe in Japan and it makes me real sad to think about what we will leave for the next generations…
Dealing with biting, pinching, scratching baby is one thing. Dealing with the 2,5 years old toddler, who refuses to wean, that’s the whole different thing :-))

Sounds like little Waits has Incredible Hulk syndrome. My son (now 35) was the happiest, sweetest most even-tempered baby that ever lived. UNLESS he was teething. Then he morphed into this little alien who ran around like he had drank fifteen expressos and went from one destructive (uh, exploratory) path to another. Hang in there. He’ll grow out of it. :)

@ Kate in SB – Thanks lady. Miss you!

@ Cedar – Yes, everyone wins indeed. =)

@ kory – I think any mother can relate. Also, yay yogurt and nettles, makes me so happy to hear that!

@ Sonja – You know, I just threw in a bunch of stuff without measuring. I’m sorry! I know it was: about a cup of tahini, about a tablespoon of miso, a big splash of tamari (soy sauce), a splash of apple cider vinegar, a few garlic cloves, a big scoop of nutritional yeast . . . I think that’s it, then just water to thin it out. I know that’s not really a recipe but it’s very forgiving, you can play around with it. I’ll start keeping track in the future I promise!

@ Generic Jen B – I hear you about the panic and I know iodine is already getting very hard to find. I don’t know what to say, but you’re in my heart and thoughts!

@ Janine – I know what took me so long! I was resistant I think, because it seemed like more trouble than it was worth. SO WRONG. I don’t know what I was thinking.

And oh, the pinching and the scratching while nursing. I’m glad I’m not the only one . . .

I love so much of this post and am going to need to find a beet loaf recipe but I just wanted to say, I cannot believe that you just started bathing with Waits! (God, he really gets cuter by the day, BTW! Which I’m sure you know. But I have a cute kid too and I never tire of hearing it!) I have been bathing with Sebastian since he could sit up and attempt to climb out of his baby bath and it is wonderful! Today I was so fed up with him after he spent a nursing session pinching and scratching me, so we ran a bath, and next thing you know we were splashing and soaking and by the time we were out we had re-focused, relaxed and bonded like magic!

Hello, I’m in Yokohama, it’s raining and I’m not going out just because I don’t have to, but I wouldn’t worry about the radiation where you are, and I say this having grown up in France which was contaminated by Tchernobyl. If everyone starts panicking about this, iodine might be hard to find for people who really need it, i.e.: people who live in Japan or perhaps Korea. Geiger counters are out of stock in France which is just ridiculous.

and beautiful!
Would you mind posting the recipe for the miso-tahini-dip? It looks delicious!
Poor japanese people! I travelled to tokyo last year and can not believe what’s happening there right now…

I think this is my favorite post too, I was practically hysterical over the messages to your hubby since we’ve had quite a few of those days here lately (and my pg hormones are sooo not helping in the humor dept, yikes). Anyway, thanks so much for the laugh and the info!

P.S. We made crock pot yogurt today (finally) and I have a nettle infusion in the fridge! It was bonzai day I think ;)

Sayward, for the record, I nursed mine in the tub the other day. It was quite convenient and he was happy to do be surrounded by warmth while he ate. :D Plus, I get to relax my tired muscles for a little longer. Everyone wins!
(i have to admit that i keep my fingers crossed that he won’t poo in the tub. so far so good though. haha!)
