Dinner Time..

With an 18 month old the simplest of things can turn into a big event! To have the heart of a child and to enjoy life's simple pleasure would be amazing to have again. Dinner time is never as routine I wish for it to be, some days we skip it all together, eat separate meals or end up eating pizza in front of the television. No matter what we decide to do Blaine always knows how to make it a little eventful. A few nights ago Brett and I decided to skip dinner(we had a big lunch) so we prepared Blaine a little cup of Chef Boyardee, the Beef O Roni kind. Being the big boy he is we weren't allowed to help feed him he had his fork and was determined to feed himself. We sat and watched as he took bite after bite. Watching most of it fall onto his highchair,chest and lap. The beef O roni has very small pieces of meat in it, that I have to honestly say don't look that tasty and Blaine seem to have felt the same way I did. He would take a bite of his food and then proceeded to spit the teeny tiny little piece of meat out. Just another piece of tomato paste covered food to join the rest that was on top of his highchair. The dogs of course were waiting patiently under the highchair in hopes of anything falling. They learned fast that the best way to get table food is just to wait below his chair. Brett and I were wondering around the kitchen doing chores or something and began hearing laughter. Turning around we find Blaine feeding the dogs with both his hands and fork. Riley (our Yorkie) is standing on top of the table, and Pe-Bo propped up on the side of his hair chair waiting for more. I know it doesn't seem like much we had a lot of laughs over what a kick he got out of all of it. !
