How to Feed a Henry

Henry turns three years old today and he is so excited for his birthday.  A birthday high-five! Henry requested peanut butter toast and a strawberry banana smoothie for his birthday breakfast. This weekend, we'll celebrate with family. By special request, Henry's Grandma and Nana are baking a rainbow cake that I am sure will be a highlight of the day. Henry says that his birthday wish will be to ride a real elephant (unfortunately, I don't think Daddy or I will be able to make that dream come true).

If one does break, he is old enough now to help clean up. It's been quite a while since I last posted so I think it is time for me to officially close out this blog. Thank you for everyone who joined in on Henry's childhood food journey. I hope ...
