My Sweet Katie...

My precious lovely daughter just cracks me up! How can a child take so long to eat her dinner? Tonight I served tacos, which to my surprise she ate. She was still at the table after everyone else finished, the dishes were done and Nicholas had finished drum lessons. A trip up to the pool was the only motivation to get her up from the table...that and a second trip to the bathroom!

Our normal dinnertime routine with Katie is often painful as she is very picky and hardly ever likes what I cook. I have long ago left my expectations at the stove when it comes to eating dinner with my sweet girl. We always have multiple trips to the bathroom, although the rule is to go before you sit down, so it feels like I have a jack-in-the-box at the table every night.

The length of time it takes her to eat amazes me, I know it is better to eat slowly for your digestive system and all that good stuff but this is the same child that will finish her AND her brother's ice cream before we get home from DQ!

Her place at the table always looks like a war zone. Tonight cheese and rice were strewn all over the table, chair and floor. I know I will one day cherish these memories and want to share them. I love my sweet girl and I am putting tacos into the menu rotation!
