  I love it! I too choose my battles…things that seemed important with the first child don’t seem as important with 4 kids!

  Oooh. Good one!

  I’ll have to think about this one, cause right now all I can come up with is “Real Moms get drunk after their kids go to sleep.”

  This is SUCH an important thing for parents to remember, I think! (and great pictures. I have a similar one of Opie eating blueberries yogurt. huge mess)

  I think real moms have a very tough job, although I don’t qualify!

  OMG she looks so much like you - this picture made me really notice it for the first time. Except you don’t smear food all over your face, as far as I know.

  I totally agree. It’s easier (and takes less overall time) to just sigh and clean it up when they are done then to fight them through it.

  And real moms pick their battles every day. And, sometimes, they pick their battles all day long. Because better to pick the battles than wave the white flag.

  Ahhh, yes. Picking my battles is a lesson I’m learning. Does that mean I’m becoming more real??? Yippee!

  Awww…how cute! My husband is the same way. Seeing food all over P’s hands and face totally grosses him out when he’s trying to eat.

  I love those parfaits. I think it’s kind of hilarious that your husband can’t bear to watch. I would probably be the same way at first, but if she is indeed willing to eat a variety of foods I guess it’s worth it.

  Cute photo! And, you are right—Who cares what kind of mess they make as long as they are eating!

  Real moms impress upon kids at a tender age that they are all-power, all-seeing and utterly impossible to get around…so don’t even try.

  Ideally, this notion remains with the kids until they go off to college. It makes parenting teenagers much easier.

  Oh yes, and real moms are MOMs - not friends.

  Enjoy,

  Barbara

  Both my husband & I don’t like to see our 2 year old get messy at dinner. Our daughter has even started to signal that she doesn’t like her hands messy (so we have to keep a wet cloth on the dinner table). Could that be why she is a picky eater???
