Dinner

So Ted hasn't been eating dinner very well. He'll eat about 3 bites and ask to get down. It took me a couple of days to realize that less than 30 minutes after not eating dinner, I was letting him pound goldfish. So, being the sharp mother that I am, I told him he could get down but no snacks. NONE! The past 2 evenings have been a battle. But he will tell me that he cannot have snacks b/c he didn't eat his dinner.

So tonight, we're all eating dinner together. I even made his favorite - broccolli. He ate about 2 bites and said, "Mommy, can I get down and read my bible?" As serious as all get out. We laughed so hard - and said, "Nice try. But no!"
