day out at Woburn

One of the forums I post on, Babycentre UK, has long been a lifeline to me. I discovered it when pregnant with my son and we went to Woburn Safari Park yesterday to celebrate the birthdays of our 4 year olds (eek!). Its about 90 minutes from us and so it did mean that Naomi's food routine was all out of the window. But she coped incredibly well.

We took our own picnic and so she had a cheese sandwich (as per usual!) which they fortunately turned a blind eye to us eating in the restaurant. It was pouring with rain or else we would have eaten outside and we did buy a bowl of chips for us. She also enjoyed her rice cakes whilst going round to see the animals for a second time!

We stayed for tea which was a disgustingly overpriced breaded chicken, roast potatoes & veg. Fortunately we could peel off the coating and the chicken itself was fine. And she adores that kind of meal. But they bill it as being so healthy which it isn't really given that its captive market cafe food. *sigh* Still once very very occasionally won't hurt.

But she refused my friend's attempts to get her to eat melon. Fruit very much still an issue. Although, my ds has only just started to enjoy salad so maybe Naomi will be the same and I just have to wait. She still only has the one tooth and maybe I am just mis-remembering Luke's eating through the sands of time since 2003/2004!

We have big issue with getting Will eating fruit, is really is the enermy. So not just you, strange thing is with veg some days he'll wolf it down and others you'd think i'd poisoned him with it, gnocchi still big hit tho.
