Saturday

I certainly didn't think when I was younger that a fun Saturday night would be listening to my son and his 2 friends chat with each other.  I will refer to the one that is his same age as the negotiator. The negotiator has been an expert at not eating dinner, he will give every excuse possible to get away from the table to go play. I took this on as a challenge of course, this little one was going to eat his dinner and I was going to win. The first curve ball is he tells me he is full, ok well he has had 4 bites of his dinner so I know this isn't true. The next one is "I don't eat crust". I have to mention he just told me 45 minutes prior that he loved crust. I told him that he couldn't leave the table until he was done with dinner. Next one, the sauce is now cold. I solved this one by re-heating his food in the microwave. Last try was "I have to go to the bathroom". This one I don't mess with, I let him go but he did know that he still had to finish his dinner when he was done. It only took 45 minutes but this little boy finished his dinner, I WIN!!!! Really.... this is my Saturday evening, getting excited that I won in a "fight" with a 5 year old.....
