Helen Hunt Jackson- September Poem

The goldenrod is yellow,
The corn is turning brown,
The trees in apple orchards
With fruit are bending down;

The gentian’s bluest fringes
Are curling in the sun;
In dusty pods the milkweed
Its hidden silk has spun;

The sedges flaunt their harvest
In every meadow nook,
And asters by the brookside
Make asters in the brook;

From dewy lanes at morning
The grapes’ sweet odors rise;
At noon the roads all flutter
With yellow butterflies–

By all these lovely tokens
September days are here,
With summer’s best of weather
And autumn’s best of cheer.

dyk for breakfast, Ellie eats strawberries or blueberries or blackberries and a toddler cereal twist bar, sometimes some (stage 3) jarred oatmeal and fruit and cinnamon (fruit like apples and cinnamon oatmeal or pear oatmeal)

dyk she has also been known to eat cherrios (soaked in milk from the kids bowls) frosted mini wheats (LOVES THESE) and cocoa puffs, as well as eggs and waffles

dyk she also drinks berry juice

dyk I do not do school fundraisers?

dyk I wish Dek were a first grader already so he could join Cub Scouts?

dyk Abi isn't taking piano this semester b/c we didn't think she could handle it in addition to school and weekly OT

dyk I miss piano lessons?

dyk I haven't reached over to get the remote to turn on the TV

dyk I bet Ellie sleeps until almost 10am

dyk I really need to make some breakfast -- I am hoping I have slasa -- scrambled eggs sound good

dyk then I will tackle my projects for the day

dyk and post here intermittently.

DYK thanks for sharing...I am always curious if I have Loran on the right food path or not, but I seem to be doing fine
DYK she pretty much eats everything we eat at this point, with exceptions being made when we have steak or a meat she can't chew yet. Then she gets an egg
DYK she inhales casseroles and any type of pasta dish like she has not been fed for days

dyk oh yeah, pasta! Ellie likes the vegetable based tri-color pasta swirls. lol

dyk Ellie went to bed last night about 8pm? I think she drank a bottle at 4am?

dyk her nap schedule was interrupted yesterday -- she slept from 2-3:45 and I put her back down at my mom's from 4:45-6:00

DYK WOW! 8pm until past 10am...that rocks
DYK I very rarely give Lo a bottle during the night anymore- she gets one right before she goes to bed at 8pm
DYK typically if she wakes up her paci and elephant put her right back to sleep
