Dino Dinner!

meal times at home with Mama and Dada are something of an adventure for James. he seems reluctant to just sit and eat with us, like he does at school / daycare, and like he does with Grandma and Grandad.

this is of increasing relevance in my life, since i know pick him up most days and am kind of responsible for making sure he eats! other than outright bribery with sweets, there are ways of getting him to eat :





here we are with an elaborate mixure of what James calles "Zazoos", which to you and i would be fruit loops - he has renamed them after the birdie out of The Lion King owing to the birdie on the packet. he is also eating crackerbread with Kiki cheese all over it (and over his cheek) and, if i am not mistaken, some raisins!





you will also note that he has several toy dinosaurs with him. a successful way of getting him to eat is to ensure that the dinos are there to eat with him!!





he had cousin Lyla visit yesterday, which was a most excellent bonus! they sort of played together, but James also sort of made sure that Lyla knew which toys belonged to him!!


be excellent to each other!!!!!!!!!!!
