Are you not hungry?

It was time to draw a line in the sand, or in this case baby food. Mommy had had enough. The boys were rejecting their lunch, turning their face away from the spoon and fussing with each bite. We had learned from previous experience to hide the fruit because once they saw the sweet desert that was all they wanted. On this day, the fruit was hidden and they still were acting finicky. The tipping point came for Mommy when both boys began blowing raspberries and laughing. Sometimes they would do this with a mouth full of baby food and spray Mommy’s white sweater with their lunch. That was a game breaker for Sandy, who pronounced the end of lunch for our twins. Not coincidentally, both boys found their appetite and manners by suppertime.
