Moonfly Kids

Any mom knows that 2 year olds are fickle eaters.  One day they like their sandwich this way (crusts cut off, cut diagonally) the next day they will only eat hot dogs drenched in ketchup.  Sometimes dinner at my house looks like rush hour at Al’s Diner with mom standing at attention in front of the stove (ok, microwave) whipping up multiple little dishes for picky eaters (chicken nuggets, Boboli pizzas, ravioli -all at once!), barking orders at the husband, shooing away roving dogs and piling dishes sky high in the sink.

The obsession this week is PEANUT BUTTER.  Oh yes, this delicious staple is a favorite in our house for both humans and canines. My son will eat it on apples, celery, bread or preferably, straight off the spoon.  He even went so far as to paint his fingernails with the creamy goodness-and a few of mine too-while I was nursing my first cup of coffee this morning.  Good thing the dogs were nearby and were able to lick him clean before he left for school.

 

  

oooey goodness

Oh, and if my son could live out the rest of his days on the Island of Sodor, he would be eternally happy. NO, I DID NOT buy him that shirt.  Thank Grandma Bubbles for that monstrosity.
