Oh No…

February 14, 2016

Mom and Dad gave us a wonderful gift of watching SJ during lunch so that we could go have a date on Valentine’s Day.  In an hour-and-a-half, we managed to indulge in the richest of foods at the most romantic restaurant in the land — Chili’s.  We split a three appetizer combo and then enjoyed decadent skillet desserts (skillet toffee brownie and skillet chocolate chip cookie with ice cream).  Wow!!  I haven’t had such heavy and sweet restaurant food in a long long time.

Then we went to the grocery store and stocked up.  A full 90 minutes of freedom and fattening frolicking and we were back to pick up the baby.

When we got back to Mom and Dad’s, she was demonstrating her prowess at matching games and trying out a new tracing toy with alphabet letters.  Just in the last few days, she’s started saying really funny stuff.  Yesterday, she said over and over again “Oh no!” “Oh no!”  Oh no….”  She’s string together words to say things like “what are those?” And “give me that.”

Mans tonight, just like last night, she really wanted to use a big fork to eat out of a bowl.  She didn’t just want a fork.  She didn’t just want a big fork with her food.  She wanted exactly what we had.  Once she was all set, she ate like a champ.  She might be persnickety, but she appreciates being understood and accommodated.  (We’re in trouble.)
