I've decided to put yesterday's 2000 calorie bonanza behind me and focus on today. So far, very healthy. Breakfast this morning saw me eat one waffle (barn-shaped, of course, since we only eat "farm waffles" in our house) with plain yogurt and a dab of mango sauce, half a grapefruit, and one perfect-but-rejected bite of bacon off daughter's plate. Husband, similarly restrained for him, ate 2 waffles, 2 slices bacon, and 1/2 a grapefruit. Kid tallies were stunning. Daughter: two rooster waffles, one slice bacon, 1/2 cup grapefruit juice (she only weighs 27, so that's pretty darn good). Son: THREE waffles (all cows, his favorite) and a whole grapefruit. And he only weighs 44! After-breakfast conversation, while drawing a face on a monster and roaring, included the matter-of-fact announcement: "I'm much ferociouser than you, mommy."
Other around-the-table good times...as we're eating lunch together yesterday...
Son: Mommy, why are you moving that glass?
Me: Because I don't want Daughter to reach it and pull it over.
Son: But she can't reach it.
Me: Well, she might try to lean over and reach it.
Son: But she can't reach it. Her arms aren't long, you know (gesturing with his own arms to indicate length). They are very short, short like a Tyrannosaurus Rex.
As the whole family is out to dinner last night (aka the pizza insanity)...
Son: (petulantly) I don't *want* that kind of bread. I don't like it.
Me: Just taste it.
Son: No. (arms crossed over chest)
Husband: Here, Son, just try it.
Son: pouting, bites it
Husband: Well...?
Son: Nooot Bad! (proceeds to eat four more soft bread-sticks as fast as humanly possible)
Ain't food fun!

Those farm waffles sound darn delicious! My kiddos would love them. Do you buy them frozen or do you have a farm-themed waffle iron???? Who makes them?
Sounds like you guys had a fun weekend. I just love reading the "kid speaks." Son is hillarious- and I must agree- much, much more ferociouser than you are!
Fabulously, it's a waffle iron, so you can have them any time you want just for the putting together of a bit of batter!! It was a Christmas present that made Husband the most popular Daddy in three counties (well, at least by Son's standards). Here's a website: http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B0001YGZGS/ref=dp_olp_2 though it might be worth searching for other sites for better prices...perhaps your own household would love to have such a present?
And I'm glad you find Son-speak so funny. I've decided that if I can't manage exercise, the least I can do is spice up people's reading pleasure with funny anecdotes. Please feel free to add your own! I'm sure 5y.o. and 7y.o. are also hilarious!
you know.. now that you mention it, Daughter DOES look like a Tyrannasaurus Rex....... Son is genius!
