Daddy, you told me to put it in my belly!

Dinner is always a trying time at our house. I guess it started all those years ago with the fear of food allergies with Haley so we bent over backwards to get something into her belly. Fast forward to the present picky toddler...Brady. He was really a decent eater up until he turned 2. He then realized he had control over what went into his mouth. We now see a lot of randomness to what he will eat. Most days he loves tomatoes and fruit but on occasion you get the fist in the mouth look, meaning not on your life! Tonight he decided ham was in and so were carrots with french onion dip. And cereal bars, (like Heidi Klum says) are out!  Daddy thought he'd capitalize on this and push the ham. "C'mon Brady, put it in your belly like Daddy!"  So this is what we got:

 

You can just guess what is in his hands, literally.

This kid is such a ham, it isn't funny. No pun intended!

He is in love with Halloween decorations this year, especially pumpkins! He stands at the front door wanting to see the neighbors' lights and blow ups. And speaking of pumpkins...today he got to play with one of his favorite pumpkins! His almost birthday buddy- Maggie!

Both were so happy to play together and by each other. It is so cute to watch them talk to each other and so funny to hear them "parent" the other one. And I bet you can guess how lunch went! Let's put it this way, Maggie is in, Mommy is out!
