Jacob really was the exact same way. And look how he ate at your house the last time! Eventually, he will get hungry :) Or, you could ask him to show mommy how the piggies eat!

Lol! Now that is a picky eater! Good luck with getting him to eat. Though I love that he has his proprieties. Snack time just sounds much more fun than lunch.

Oh my gosh.. I have that same problem.. We have lunch fixed and ready to go because she is so hungry. Then it is ready oh no I do not want it.. Okay well if you do not eat it no snacks.. Eats a little says, "I am done" then we put it away.. next words "I want a snack" you still have this.. Oh children..

Thanks for you kind thought..

Did he get goldfish or peanut and butter for snack/

I can't believe all he really wanted was the juice.

Yes, I can I have nephews like this.

This was so cute!

I can't imagine it happening with my Grands (or even my kids when they were small!) It would have been a one minute time elapse and they would have been begging for more!

Champ

We met you in May of 2004 at the Humane Society. You were the only dog who could have cared less that there were humans walking around.  While all the other dogs barked and barked at us, you lay on the floor curled up and awake, yet quiet and uninterested.  We almost passed you by but after mentioning you to one of the employees they said you were a good boy and that we should take you out for a walk.  Once outside you perked right up and wanted to sniff everything and explore and didn't seem at all like the dog you were inside.  We were hooked. We agreed to take you home and took care of the necessary arrangements.  Your name was Champ because the Humane Society had picked you up on the side of the road, very injured in what they assumed was a fight with another dog.  We were told you were maybe two years old at most.  The Humane Society fixed you up and you healed like a, well, like a champ.  We decided to rename you Baxter. We brought you h...

noise

I gave my daughter a box of those Valentine’s candy hearts to eat and every time she crunches down on one it is like a spear going through my head.  Next time, remember to go for the softer ones.  I hate noise. Hate it.  Like Jeckyll and Hyde hate it. I hate crunching, chewing, snapping, typing, clicking, clacking, humming, popping, sucking, clipping, clicking, tapping.  I have an intense fear of being stuck in an elevator with a bunch of people snapping gum. Or eating popcorn. Or typing on keyboards. Or clipping nails.  Oh, the torture! I was thrilled when I saw an article in Time Magazine recently that indicated I was not alone. But it also indicated that perhaps the best way to conquer the phobia is to face it head on – by being exposed to those noises you hate the most until you mentally figure out that it’s just noise, accept it, and move on.  I do feel part of my problem is mental, because, with the exception of those candy ...

Except Death and Taxes and School Pick Up Problems

Dear you, Hi there! We haven't met so I thought I would introduce myself.  I am a mom of two, a fifth and a third grader, at the school our kids attend.  You might recognize my car, as you drive by it nearly every day when you pass me (and plenty other parents) 10 minutes before school gets out to park at the very front of the pick up line. In a spot that is not a spot. Genius!  I mean why should you get to school early like many of us other parents do and park appropriately in the pick up lane when you can just come nearly at the last minute, go around a line of 30 vehicles, and park in a spot that is not a spot? Why didn't I think of that? You probably have special circumstances.  I'm sure you think that NOBODY else in the pick up lane,  many of whom have been sitting there waiting for 30-45 minutes have ANYTHING better that they could be doing with their time. I especially loved the day that you were parked there and ran over to grab your child and...
