A way to make Sammy eat?
So... Sammy has been on this thing. No matter what is for dinner... he won't eat it. Until we all got the flu and we boght some single serve mac and cheese. He had so much fun making his own mac and cheese that now that's what he asks for every meal (no, we don't give it to him for every meal)... but ANYTIME he makes it, he eats it. So maybe what I need to do is have him help me make dinner in the evenings. Grrr... as much as that might help, I'm not really enthusiastic about it. I don't enjoy cooking and I enjoy it less when I have a 2 year old, 4 year old and 8 month old helping... I usually have the 8 month old by my feet or in my arm while I cook... and making cookies with the other two is fun for them and not so much for me. Is it worth it to get him to eat? Maybe I'll try and see what happens?

Rhees Family
This is such a fun family. They're sweet and playful. It's fun to get to know them and try not to freeze in the cold rain! It was...

I didn't understand this when I heard other mothers complain before I had kids but found it just as true for me. You just gotta grin and bear it and do it! (I cringe even now)
Emma makes her own toast, cereal, sandwiches, corn dogs, and speghetti-Os now. And she can make it for the others. How nice is that, huh? I can tell her I need her help and off she goes. Ashton helps too. It makes all the difference. And they eat what they help cook. My sister and I were talking about this last week. She has a friend with 6 kids. She has each kid make a meal once a week. They get to pick. So the youngest makes hot dogs and bean dip every time. She says it kinda sucks to eat that once a week but it makes such a difference. I have helpers - they get to help and make one thing they like if they don't like the rest. I personally do not want help every night but every other night seems ok. I sure love frozen pizza night!
Like one mom told me oh so many years ago. Grin and bear it! It will pay off in the end.
