eat

the past few days big guy has been tanking the afternoon snacks.  today we had pretzels, marsh mellows, and puffs.  yesterday was puffs, raisins, and dried pears.  and he wants to eat at the table all officially.  of course when it comes to dinner he doesn't want to sit or eat.  I clearly can't win.  Yesterday we were eating and deciding what to do after snack time, vacillating between going to the duckpond or the bookstore.  We had decided on walking to the duckpond.  I said, "Eat the rest of your snack and we can go."  To which big guy replied, "EAT!"  And when we had dinner, shoved food at me and said, "EAT!"  Wonderfully, he is still saying it today.  And he has a little song, "eat, eat, eat, eat, eat." Talking is the best!
