And, possibly due to John's and my love for the new baby, Esme now has a new interest in her own baby doll, who was named Coochie yesterday morning and by last night had been renamed Grace. We put one of Real Grace's old sleepers on Grace the Doll, and Esme carried her around, pushed her in the stroller, and fed her bottles all day long. They slept together last night, and Esme just emerged from her bedroom carrying her and announcing that she has pooped in her pajamas.
We'd better go take care of that. But first, speaking of regularity, I have a great recipe for high-fiber (and omega-3, which sounds made-up but is good for your heart) wheat bread to share:
1 1/3 cups water
2 tablespoons butter, softened
3 tablespoons honey
1 1/2 cups bread flour (not all-purpose flour)
1 1/3 cups wheat bread flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon active dry yeast
1/2 cup flax seeds (I used the milled kind, which is more like a course flour)
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
Make according to your bread machine's directions - use the basic white cycle, and don't add the bigger seeds until it beeps during the knead cycle. Very yummy and...um...hearty.
This is hilarious! Sarah has a doll (who is currently missing and makes us all very sad) named Esme! She got it right after Esme was born, or named it right after she was born - I don't remember. But it is her favorite! She dressed her in one of our old onesies & took it everywhere. So cute! I wonder why they name them after the real kid?
ReplyDeleteI wonder if we're talking about the same doll? The one we have is from Michele's house...she was convinced that it was ours, so we took it home with us. Did Sarah's doll have a soft body and hard arms and legs?
ReplyDeleteYes!! That might be Esme!! How funny. Sarah should maybe never see "Grace" the doll... It could be a problem.
