Today Jeannette ate pancakes again for breakfast. I was back into giving her the liquid multi-vitamin. She hadn't had it in 10 days because of the antibiotic. That multi-vitamin has so many restrictions that I just didn't want to deal with trying to figure out how and when she'd be able to take it. Based on the directions, I would have to show up at school everyday to administer the stuff. Because it had been awhile, I forgot that she was supposed to take that first, then drink a whole glass of water BEFORE she had breakfast. She corrects me and says that I did it wrong. She was supposed to have the multi-vitamin first. Gesh! My 7 year old knows her medications better than I do.
For lunch today, I packed her a soy nut butter and jelly sandwich, raspberries, and chocolate coconut milk. Today was the first day that she has had regular bread since this whole transition. I was a little nervous about giving it to her, but I thought it was worth a try. This bread that I found is called Smart Right Wonder Bread. Yes, it still has sugar, and it does have yeast, but it also has 5g of fiber per 2 slices. Even most wheat breads I find are only 1-2g fiber per two slices. Even Hungry Girl (a web-site I visit to get great low-fat, better eating ideas....http://www.hungry-girl.com/ ) promotes this bread. I heard that although it's "white bread" now, they are coming out with a wheat version. I also gave her jelly today. A double whammy! It probably wasn't the best idea, but I also wanted to see if I could re-introduce jelly. It's homemade elderberry jelly. I'm hoping because it's homemade that the sugar content is not through the roof as in store bought jelly! I could be wrong.
