Enchiladas, the Potty ,Gym class and repentance

So tonight C AKA the most amazing hubby in the world! made some yummy enchiladas that we have been seriously digging lately.

Enchiladas

(the healthy ingredients in this recipe can be substituted....I am just giving the originally intended ingredients)

The sauce:

3 tbs whole wheat flour
3 tbs coconut oil

heat this to make a roux then add all the rest until smooth and boil until desired consistency

(all of the following are apprximations...you can add more or less to your liking)

3 tbs chile powder
3 cloves garlic
1 large onion(optional...we opt out...yuck!)
1 tbs cumin
1/2 tsp oregano
1 tsp cinnamon
3 cups chicken stock/broth

The filling:

7-8 sprouted wheat tortillas
2-3 C chicken/pork/beef
2-3 C cheese

Make sure that all the tortillas are soaked before you add meat/cheese then use remainder of sauce over the top.


Now on to the potty portion of the post. L has been going on the potty since he was four months old...now before you bail out on the post check out these
links.

(this is his little port a potty)

So now that you understand a little about it I just have to brag that L has started going to the bathroom when he has to go....he will toddle over and kind of stand by the door or go into it and we will hurry and take his diaper off and pssss! I don't think that his control over his bowels is completely mastered although if I see him squatting and staring me dead in the eye I know he is about to go so we can catch it sometimes.

Gym class...who didn't hate it right? Well we have another generation. But I think that E has a valid reason for hating it. Her gym teacher is mean! He pretty much yells all the time, now I don't think that he is trying to be mean its just his charming personality. So now every Tuesday we get to hear the litany of excuses (ps just to remind you all what litany means "a repetitive or incantatory recital, which is exactly what this is every week) My stomach hurts, I have a cough, I got a sliver, etc etc. Anyway, it is pretty funny b/c after one Tuesday I asked her how it went and she said that he actually wasn't that mean today.

Ok last story...on Sunday we were talking about what we learned and E said that she learned about forgiveness and a word that starts with an R. Repentance I ask...Oh yeah repentance she replies. So I ask her to give me an example and here is the dialogue that followed:

E "For example if you spit your gum in somebody's hair and then you can say you're sorry and they could say its ok"

K " hmm...thats an interesting example. How about this...what if..."

E " I accidentally by accident accidentally spit my gum in Jane's hair"

K "What? What happened? Did they get it out?

E "Well I was playing with it like this (her hand motions stretching it waay out and twisting it in her finger) and then it just got stuck in her hair.

K "Oh but it came right out?"

E " No the teacher had to cut it out"

K" what? did she cut a lot out?

E " no just a little"

K "did you say sorry?"

E " No, I forgot"

So there you go folks....a lesson in forgiveness and that R word learned and forgotten.
