Day 27 A big pat on the back

I had to take Willa to the Dr. today because she ate an eraser last week and it hasn't all come out the other end yet! She seems fine tho.
Before christmas willa had been in to see our favorite PA, Martha, about 3 times in 3 weeks for different coughs, croup, bronchitis, and other things. The kids were sick every week.
I told her that we've been healthy for over a month and that we had all switched to a whole foods diet. She was very impressed! She asked me a lot of questions and I told her about how great the kids are doing snacking all day on fruit and not asking for McDonalds and loving salmon. She thought it was great, and said that we were the only parents in her entire practice who have ever done this! So i felt good about that, and it helps to reinforce the efforts! (Now I have to keep going! LOL!)
I love Martha because she totally understands where I am coming from on meds, alternative healing, and health. She just gets it! She works with me and my weird ideas and always agrees with it. :)
Willa, by the way, is right at the 50% line and growing great on breastmilk only! I am going to totally brag for a minute. I never set out to not feed her solids but it has just been working out this way. Her gut is sensitive to foods and she seems healthy just nursing. It's just so rare to see in our country, but Martha was very encouraging about it and reassured me that she is growing great!
