About a month ago, Pops introduced Bennett to smoothies. Of course, it was a hit! I've been meaning to take Bennett back to Planet Smoothie for another treat. We went to the doctor yesterday for our 15 month well checkup and was informed that we need to try and add some extra calories to Bennett's diet. He's no string bean of a kid weighing in at a hardy 23 lbs. 11 oz., but I guess since he's so active, his weight gain over the last two check ups has trickled off. He goes non-stop as any toddler does, but he definitely eats. The doctor said introduce peanut butter (he threw it), fruit preserves on bread (also landed on the floor), and a few other things that we're still acquiring a taste for. After hearing about adding calories, I thought a smoothie (or maybe 10) was in order. We went to the park this afternoon and then to the choo-choo train and on our way home stopped in for a smoothie. Bennett sucks it down so fast. I worry he'll get a cold headache, but if he got one, you'd never know it. At this point, a smoothie is about the only thing that will get him to slow down. I had to take advantage of the photo opp. The workers at Planet Smoothie are going to get to know us really well!

We are also into smoothies. Since we got rid of the bottle Maddie won't drink milk. So we use yogurt smoothies to get calcium.
