Meal Time

Hello! So before I blog about what I actually set out to...let me please just say....being pregnant is TIRING!! I need some energy people! It hasn't helped that my husband hasn't felt well either the last couple of days. Lots of laying on the couch going on around here and I am not proud of it! I have to keep reminding myself....it's only for a few weeks. Then I will get some energy again and my house can cease to look like a tornado came through....I hope. :)

Ok...so meal time. Meal times around this house are sometimes....well...not fun. Mostly due to a certain 3 year old who doesn't like to eat anything except pancakes, goldfish, or dessert. Little Austin has gotten very stubborn these days about not wanting to eat his meals. He usually ends up sitting at the lunch or dinner table for at least 30 to 40 minutes because he tries to play or just sits there and avoids eating. We have tried various things to make him eat....making him sit there until his plate is clean...setting a timer for them and they get in trouble if they don't finish when it runs out...no snacking. (He is not the only one we have trouble with...Lily can do this from time to time as well, but definitely not as bad). Anyway...you get the picture....it is a constant battle for us. Well today at lunch we went for the sit there until your plate is clean approach. And well....this is what we got...
I guess the little guy just gave up. Lily had finished well before him so he had no one to entertain him. I guess eating ranks higher on his "Do Not Like" list than nap time. However, if I must say so myself, that is one cute kid! I LOVE to look at them when they're asleep. And how better than when they fall asleep in such a funny position. Anyway....that's all for today!

Oh...and p.s. Austin is in his pj's at lunch time because he wears his pj's all day long. That's all he wants on when he is at home. He's always had such an opinion about what he likes to wear (you know...pj's, no pants....the norm).
