RE: Beefing up my little boy!

[Guest guest]

Heather,

 

We had the same problem with clothes, either my son was wearing

high waters or he was walking around holding his pants up all day. We found

a great place for belts though, not sure if you have seen it:

Conner loves them and I love that they have non leather versions that are

fun and work well.

We use hemp milk too -- the only kind available around here is made by

Manitoba Harvest. I just looked at their website and they have a recipe

for making it: http://www.manitoba

It has a very distinct taste and my 22-month-old is the only one who

really likes it (I have 4 and 6-year-olds as well), but that's fine

because it is high in fat, protein and iron which is great for my slim

little vegan guy! I imagine there are lots of other people on this list

with the same kids clothing woes that I have -- trying to find pants

that are long enough but aren't so wide they fall down :-)
