Meals = Playtime?


#2 is "exploring" ... boundaries, limits, his mother's patience (or lack thereof) and most importantly how many places he can put his food - other than in his belly. One of the joys of parenting - yes. Payback for me - the one who told her brother to put a pea in his nose - absolutely! We've had rice up the nose, about anything in the ear (I blame this on the weekly trips to the pediatrician and ENT from 6 to 18 months ... poor guy thinks things belong in the ears since someone is always looking through an instrument into his) and he's now moved on to rubbing food in his hair. Mac & Cheese for dinner? Cheesy fingers in the hair when he's done. Birthday cake for a friend's birthday at school? Frosting up his nose and in his hair for an extra special birthday wish. I made the mistake of giving him applesauce the other day. After taking a few bites, he decided that it was better to drop it on the floor and spoon it on top of his head.

And since I'm loving my Flip video(thanks Keeks & Ev), here it is.

Thanks goodness that Rin hasn't thought to stuff anything in his ears or nose (yet). Your boys better not teach him! But we definitely need to get them together sometime- food for them, cocktails for us. Oh yeah... :-)
