Can we eat?

Eating and children -- one of the most difficult things for me. It's either you can't get them to eat anything or they won't stop eating and I am always trying to think of what to feed them next. Here are a couple of things that were pretty funny though:

Last night we had some ice cream cake and Kaelynn was very concerned about the chocolate that was still on her plate so, Dad stepped in for a teaching moment:




She has now been taught to "clean your plate"!

Well, not to be out-done by big sister, Alicia had her moment as well. This was about a week ago when Adam and I decided to go out to dinner -- with the kids -- a rarity really, it's usually such a pain it's not even worth it. Anyway, they actually did really well. So, Alicia has decided she is only going to feed herself and here she was very proud of her success with the fork:


But, now how to get a bit proved to be difficult:


It's great to have moments like these where we really get a laugh and remember how cute the kids are, in between all the hard work!!
