Becoming B.R.A.T.s

Well, I haven't posted much because we have been turning into B.R.A.T.s lately. In other words, our kids have had some fun stomach virus or something--I think all sheets in the house have been changed in the past two days. So for those that don't know, if you have a child that is sick, follow the B.R.A.T. diet.

B. R. A. T. Diet:

Bananas
Rice
Applesauce
Toast

You can also throw in things like Jello, Sprite/7-Up, and chicken broth/soup to keep those kids hydrated. Bland is the word though. On a side note: if your child is REALLY vomitting, red jello may not be the best-hard to tell if it is jello or blood, which would be bad.

Incidentally, during our recent bout with the stomach bug, my toddler DID throw up red jello...all over me, her, and the couch. It's a big pain to clean up!!
