But he chews and chews and chews and chews, as if actually swallowing it might result in his hair turning blue or something. With the minutes his incessant chewing adds to dinnertime, it's almost not worth it anymore!Staciahttp://myfluffybunnies.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356238098880523445.post-85852320896131007372011-02-18T11:21:02.784-06:002011-02-18T11:21:02.784-06:00And you took pictures!

Holy moly we had epic toddler tantrums back in the day. Dinner time was never my favorite time of day. It is nice that things have changed so much and that Domo actually eats. The pictures represent your dinner oh so well. I hope you enjoyed your dinner nonetheless chica.Alitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09470698206904719203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356238098880523445.post-43360892307018216652011-02-16T09:02:49.321-06:002011-02-16T09:02:49.321-06:00Haha, I also love how Justin seems completely unpe...Haha, I also love how Justin seems completely unperturbed.That Married Couplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07363886412589745900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356238098880523445.post-17392507698654108262011-02-15T20:30:58.996-06:002011-02-15T20:30:58.996-06:00Somehow toddlers never seem to get the memo about ...Somehow toddlers never seem to get the memo about special occasions...or maybe they do. :)Madelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02269938426943887438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356238098880523445.post-45189963767927203462011-02-15T19:09:59.437-06:002011-02-15T19:09:59.437-06:00Happy Valentines day!

H...Oh no, what a sad little girl on the last photo. However, I will agree with Lenae and it does really look as if your husband is enjoying his meal :)<br /><br />Our meal was meltdown free, but instead involved my kids who were busy giggling and messing around instead, which led to an equal amount of frustration and many near-incidents. <br /><br />Happy Valentine's Day any way!! :)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16604810218733272554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356238098880523445.post-49864577132082821872011-02-15T10:50:45.784-06:002011-02-15T10:50:45.784-06:00Heh :) You are so right, Lenae!

The dinner was SOOOOO GOOOOOOD that distractions were hard pressed to come between us and our forks :) <br /><br />(Minus Lauren, of course -- she hated it all.
