Day Four: Monday
BREAKFAST
Because we were late for preschool, Luca had 1/2 bagel (buttered) and 3 gulps of milk before we dashed out.
SNACK
(at preschool) 4 pretzels, 1/4 cup apple juice.
LUNCH
(in the park) 1 1/2 slices beef bologna (the birds got the bread), 1 banana, 1 oatmeal cookie.
SNACK
She refused carrot sticks but accepted 3 dried apricots.
DINNER
The meal began with Luca's wails when we switched off her video because it was time to eat. After a short, sob-filled time-out, she returned to the table as if nothing had happened. And in fact, she was a delightful dinner companion, pausing between bites of chicken cutlet (about 3 ounces) and cheese tortellini (4) to blow kisses, sing songs, and talk to the flowers in the centerpiece. Happy as she was, she wouldn't touch her spinach and tomato salad.
BEDTIME SNACK
1/2 an apple, 1/2 cup milk.
