On Eating and Being 3

last night about 5:30:

Jackson: "May I have something to eat?"
Me: "Sure, It's about dinner time."
Jackson: "May I have something else?"

Jackson has no idea what is for dinner, but to him dinner = something he doesn't want. Throughout the day he often asks, "May I have something else for breakfast?" hoping to extend his favorite meal until bedtime.

  1. This is so similar to our very soon to be 5 yo. He says, "I don't want (insert mealtime name here). I want a snack."

  4. So is Benjamin! That cracks me up, thinking of him asking what his other option is! I love how we hear out of their mouths exactly the things they hear us say all day...
