Lunch With A Toddler

S. is not interested in eating her lunch today.

Instead she is very interested in pulling her socks off and placing them on her hands.

“Look Lisa, I have sock puppets on my hands !”

Yes, she does indeed have sock puppets on her hands.

As I’m about to remind her that it’s time to eat lunch, and it might not be a good idea to eat lunch with sock puppets on her hands, she scoops up a handful of her pasta with her sock clad hand and stuffs the food into her mouth.

“Yuck,” she says as she spits the mouthful of food back into her hand, “that’s hairy.”

Yucky indeed, and yet somehow,it’s funny too,even though we now have a mess to clean up !
