Day 26 - Focus On Your Food

I don't know what is going on today with the crying...but it's been way to prevalent...

Actually, it's only been Ethan and even the CEO wondered aloud this morning whether or not Ethan was just going to have a bad day...

Now, he hasn't been bad by any means...just extra sensitive and prone to meltdowns.

For example, lately I've found I need to be more attentive while they eat just to make sure they eat and don't, say, crush up all their goldfish crackers...

They are not fans of cold Mac & Cheese even though I have explained the quicker they eat their food (thereby cutting back on messing around) the warmer every bite will be. This lesson has yet to sink in.

So Ethan was not happy that I made him take two bites of lukewarm Mac & Cheese before I let him get up from his lunch...but I can't have these kids starving in 20 minutes because they wanted to look out the window at lunch time...

I keep hoping the "focus on your food" message will get through to them...
