canned peaches=sad boys
It is a rainy day here, so no pool today. SJ and Bob were playing all morning. They were bouncing between PS3, plushy play and building card dominoes. Breakfast was so quiet that I almost forgot they were here. I wish I could say the same for lunch. I made a standard lunch in our house. I had made fries for both boys with fish sticks for SJ and chicken fries for Bob. So what was the trigger today? Unbelievably it was 2 ounces of canned peaches for each boy. You would have thought I put poison in their bowls. Almost immediately, I heard cries and complaints. SJ kept telling me that he was not eating "applesauce". I told him multiple times that it was peaches, but he was so upset he couldn't hear me. Bob was just as bad. He didn't cry, but the complaining was almost worse. After about 10 minutes, SJ finished the peaches and said they weren't "horrible". Bob was still at his seat stating that he "simply can't eat those peaches". I told him that he was eating them or no electronics for the remainder of the afternoon. Bob is very stubborn, but he does love his electronics. He finally gave in and ate the peaches. He was practically choking on them with all the drama he could muster. He gave me such a look when he was done. I guess I was supposed to feel bad for making them eat the peaches. I just smiled at him and said, "I love you too." Today the great food battle was won by Mom. It is about time that I won one!
